Live preview of video files

Please integrate a live preview of the first few seconds in the overview - of videos. this makes recognition of videos easier and is an awesome feature regarding usability!

Hmm problem I see with this is storage space. Thumbnail folders can get annoyingly large, and I for one tend to delete them and add a blank file in their place to avoid their regeneration. So, if this is implemented I'd suggest making it optional.

However as for making recognition of videos easier I would suggest making the thumbnail of the middle of the video and not the first frame, as some videos tend to have similar beginnings (intro), but that could be another ticket.

wouldn't it be easier to use something android specific ffmpeg altern. to start playing the first few seconds of a video without creating a video thumb at all?
