It works not only thumbnail for video files, but also cover pic for audio files (ogg etc). Also you can view artist, album, length etc info in explorer for every audio type.

Doesn't produce thumbnails for webm's. I saw a thread on their forum from 2020 saying many file types not working correctly. You cant make a new account on the forum. I suspect its discontinued.
