[Bug] Thumbnails look wrong for HDR videos
Description
I use ffmpegthumbnailer as the video thumbnailer on my Fedora system, and I usually view those thumbnails via Nautilus. I noticed the thumbnails look wrong for HDR videos (at least for dvhe.05.03 and dvhe.08.03/HDR10 videos).
Steps to Reproduce
Test files:
ffmpegthumbnailer -t 00:00:00 -s 0 \
-i dvhe.05.03.mp4 \
-o dvhe.05.03.thumbnail.jpeg
ffmpegthumbnailer -t 00:00:00 -s 0 \
-i dvhe.08.03-HDR10-compatible.mp4 \
-o dvhe.08.03-HDR10-compatible.thumbnail.jpeg
Expected Behavior
Thumbnails for HDR videos should show the correct colors.
Actual Behavior
The thumbnails either look too dark (dvhe.08.03) or have a heavy green & purple tint (dvhe.05.03). The problem occurs on both the JPEG and PNG output formats.
