+### B283 — Videos have no thumbnail outside Photos, and a `.ts` recording looks like source code
+
+**Status:** Fixed, not verified live
+**Found:** 2026-11-14, from a user report: large `.ts` video recordings in My files showed a text
+icon, and no video in My files had a thumbnail although the same videos had one in Photos.
+**Where:** `is_video_file_name` in `crates/pdfs-core/src/control.rs`; `generate_thumbs` and
+`sample_video` in `crates/pdfs-fuse/src/photos.rs`; `bind_file_thumbnail` in
+`crates/pdfs-gui/src/app/widgets/thumbnails.rs`
+
+**Repro:** Put an `.mp4` and a recorded `.ts` of a few GB in My files and open the folder in the
+app's grid view. Both show a generic icon, and the `.ts` shows a text one.
+
+**Cause.** Four things:
+- File views asked the daemon for thumbnails of images only (`is_thumbnail_image_name`), so a
+  video was never asked for.
+- `.ts` is TypeScript as often as it is an MPEG transport stream. Drive stores both as
+  `application/octet-stream`, and every place that names a file's type went by the extension:
+  the browser's icon list had no `.ts`, GIO guesses text, and the opener's `@text` class listed
+  `.ts`.
+- The daemon downloaded a video whole into memory for one frame, so it refused anything over
+  256 MiB, and the size check behind that refusal asked the Photos client, which knows nothing
+  of a My files node.
+- `file_thumbs` never asked for the thumbnail an uploader attached, on the belief that only
+  Photos nodes have one. This client attaches one to every upload it can make one for.
+
+**Fix.** `is_video_file_name(name, size)` is the one rule: a video extension, and for `.ts` a
+size of at least 1 MiB. The browser icon, the thumbnail gate, the launcher's icon and type, and
+the opener's classes use it. For a file view, the daemon first asks Drive for the file's own
+thumbnail. Without one, a video of up to 24 MiB is downloaded whole. A larger one brings its first
+16 MiB, and for an MP4 or MOV whose `moov` box lies further in, the box headers on the way and
+that box. The parts are laid out at their offsets in a sparse staging file, which ffmpeg reads.
+A `.ts` whose head lacks the 0x47 sync byte is recorded as having no thumbnail.
+
+**Test:** `a_ts_file_is_a_video_only_at_the_size_of_one` and
+`listings_thumbnail_images_and_videos` in `crates/pdfs-core/src/control.rs`;
+`a_ts_file_opens_as_media_or_text_by_its_size` in `crates/pdfs-core/src/opener.rs`;
+`a_large_mp4_downloads_its_head_and_its_index` and the other `sample_video` tests in
+`crates/pdfs-fuse/src/photos.rs`; the simulation
+`a_video_thumbnail_downloads_a_small_part_of_the_video`, which reads under 34 MiB for two
+videos of over 70 MiB and takes nothing from a video with an uploader's thumbnail.
+`real_video_fixture_yields_a_frame` passed on 2026-11-14 with ffmpeg 9.0 for a 46 MB MP4 with its
+index at the end, an MPEG-TS and an MKV.

+- **Video thumbnails in My files, Shared, Trash and the launcher**, as in Photos, with a play
+  badge in the grid. A video's thumbnail is the one its uploader attached when it has one.
+  Otherwise the daemon takes a frame with ffmpeg from the start of the file, plus an MP4's
+  index, and never downloads more than about 16 MiB of a video for it, however large the
+  video is. **Build Thumbnails** covers videos too (B283).
+
+- **A new layout for Photos.**
+  - The grid shows every photo at its own shape, in rows that fill the width (portraits
+    are no longer cropped to squares). **Square Tiles** in the page menu brings the even
+    grid back, and the Year zoom stays square.
+  - Timeline, Albums and Places switch in the header. The filters take one row, which
+    scrolls sideways in a narrow window.
+  - The section you are in floats over the top of the grid once its heading has scrolled
+    away. Headings are larger, and a check beside each one selects the whole day, month or
+    year.
+  - Selection mode works as in other GNOME apps: the header shows the count and
+    **Cancel**, and a bar along the bottom has these actions:
+    - **Add to Favorites**, or remove them when every selected photo is already one;
+    - **Add to Album**;
+    - **Remove from Album**;
+    - **Save Copies**, into a folder you pick, never overwriting a file;
+    - **Move to Trash**.
+  - Favorites carry a star on their tile, and a video waiting for its thumbnail shows a
+    video glyph.
+  - New icons for Photos, albums and the slideshow.
+  - **Upload** takes several photos and videos at once, and you can drop files onto the
+    timeline to upload them.
+  - The zoom level and the tile shape are remembered between runs.
+  - In the photo viewer, the details panel lies over the photo when the window is
+    narrow instead of squeezing it.
+
+- **Larger icons in My files.** The icon size slider goes up to 256 px, big enough to
+  tell photos apart by their thumbnail. Ctrl+scroll, Ctrl+plus, Ctrl+minus and Ctrl+0
+  change it too, and the size is remembered between runs.
