Updated thumbnailer config file

m4b is a minor variation of the m4a file format but the m4b mime time is not listed in the totem-thumbnailer configuration where the m4a type is declared. This is implemented easily by adding "audio/x-m4b" to /usr/share/thumbnailers/totem.thumbnailer.  I do this manually now everytime I upgrade.  It should be standard.

HHey Roger,

I'm confused, how is this related to nautilus? Also what you attached is not a patch.
Comment 2 Roger Odle 2016-07-21 23:01:32 UTC 
totem-thumbnailer is the mechanism that nautilus uses to generate thumbnails for audio and video files.  The attached file is not a patch, it is my modified version of the thumbnailer configuration file.  I do not know how to create and submit a patch.  I expect that if you dropped this file into your system then you would see thumbnails for m4b files (assuming your files have embedded cover art).

I do not know if the thumbnailers are considered elements of nautilus but that is what seems to be using them.  It seems logical.
Comment 3 Roger Odle 2016-07-21 23:05:21 UTC 
If you do not have M4B files with cover art but you do have M4A files that do, you can test the config change by changing the file extension of the M4A file to .m4b. Or you can get a free m4b file from Librivox.

Moving to totem, nautilus doesn't provide this config files.
