I solve this annoying problem deleting the file xplayer.thumbnailer from the folder /usr/share/thumbnailers and after this install totem sudo apt install totem* Curiously, with Totem installed, the thumbnails have worked again.
Rafam I tried your procedure but no success
You have performed the action of: rm -Rf ~/.cache/thumbnails
Referencing RafaMartorell's comments. After you delete /usr/share/thumbnailers/xplayer.thumbnailer, if you have ffmpegthumbnailer installed, you don't have to do anything. Just keep using xplayer. I wonder if there is an error in that file that triggers the crash. I have tested this in LM 20 Cinnamon and LMDE 4. Works around the issue and xplayer works fine without it.

Steps to reproduce
Try and thumbnail the attached video.

Expected behaviour
No crash.
Other information In a folder of 113 mobile phone created mp4 files 16 of them routinely crash the thumbnailer. All are very short in duration, but there are a couple of short duration vidoes that thumbnail OK.
