Description
### Kernel
7.1.3-2-cachyos
### Desktop Environment / Window Manager
Other (specify in additional context)
### CPU
AMD Ryzen 9 7940H (16) @ 5.26 GHz
### GPU / Driver
AMD Radeon 780M Graphics [Integrated]; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Max-Q / Mobile [Discrete]
### Description
I'm using Niri WM.
The packaged /usr/share/thumbnailers/ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer
contains `video/x-matroska;` `application/x-matroska;` but does not include `video/matroska;`
On my system, `gio info file.mkv` reports:
```
standard::content-type: video/matroska
```
As a result, **Nautilus (GNOME Files) does not generate thumbnails for any MKV files.**
After adding `video/matroska` to the MimeType field, thumbnails are generated correctly.
### Steps to Reproduce
Enter any directories containing MKV files in Nautilus.
### Expected Behavior
Nautilus does not generate thumbnails for any MKV files.
### Actual Behavior
Nautilus should generate thumbnails for all MKV files.
### Logs / Error Messages
None
### Additional Context

Research direction
Inspect the packaged /usr/share/thumbnailers/ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer file and its MimeType field; compare the listed Matroska types with the content type reported by gio info for an MKV file. Done means video/matroska is included and Nautilus generates thumbnails for MKV files.
