Video thumbnails not displayed

Bug description
There are no video thumbnails despite having (seemingly) completed all necessary steps. I have ffmpegthumbnailer installed, the preview size limit is set to 64GB, totem isn't installed (so there's no conflict in /usr/share/thumbnailers), and ~/.cache/thumbnails doesn't exist.
Thumbnails are displayed on my desktop running AwesomeWM, but they aren't on my laptop running Hyprland. I have assured that both are configured in the exact same way. Furthermore, "nemo --debug" gives the same output on both.
Steps to reproduce
I'm not sure how to reproduce it; this is the way that it has always been. This has been a problem on my desktop but it's been fixed (I have no idea how).
Expected behavior
Video thumbnails are displayed.
Additional information
I tried looking everywhere but every solution I came across wither wasn't applicable (like ~/.cache/thumbnails not existing) or simply didn't work. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this, but I'm out of ideas.
Whats your cpu count?
8 cores with 16 threads. The solution in that thread did not work.
Do you have a file /usr/share/thumbnailers/ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer
?

No, that directory only has evince.thumbnailer
and librsvg.thumbnailer
. I have ffmpegthumbnailer installed.
Installing the package should have installed /usr/share/thumbnailers/ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer
Well, it didn't. I tried to make the file with the text you provided and it didn't do anything.
In Mint (Debian edtion) apt-cache policy ffmpegthumbnailer
shows
ffmpegthumbnailer:
Installed: 2.2.2+git20220218+dfsg-1+b1

I'm on Gentoo, does that make a difference?
Possibly.
