Description

Actual behaviour

In the main view (all files) in grid mode I see thumbnails for images, I see a "note" image and the file name for a sound file, but for video files I see nothing but an "arrow" icon.

Expected behaviour

Preferred solution: Show any frame image from the video as thumbnail Alternative solution: show at least also the file name

Environment data

Android version: 4.4.2

Device model: Samsung Galaxy S4 mini

Stock or customized system: stock

Nextcloud app version: 1.4.0

Nextcloud server version: owncloud 8.2

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how image thumbnails are currently loaded in grid view (likely in an adapter or fragment). Extend to video files using MediaMetadataRetriever to extract a frame as thumbnail, or fallback to showing the filename. Look at existing thumbnail loading logic and file type handling in the repository.
