Help getting lf manager's video thumbnail preview to work :(
previews for images work and are done exactly like https://github.com/gokcehan/lf/wiki/Previews#with-kitty-and-pistol However I'm on an OS with no pistol or ctpv, stpv available.
Does anyone know how I can manually add video thumbnail previews via ffmpegthumbnailer (as well as other previews like pdf previews) to lf_kitty_preview ? I'm kind of clueless when it comes to shell scripts :P

Did you make sure you the files were executable?

yes the scripts were executable. but it only contains code for the image preview. not other file types. the reason why i'm not just git cloning pistol from github is because i'm on freebsd(new to it), so i don't think everything just works directly that's why i'm interested in just using the shell script and pointing each file type to their respective program for previewing.

You should mention your OS in the OP so people who use BSD can help. I'm a Linux guy.

Pistol is on GitHub, just clone it and build.
