That was fixed by using Ubuntu precise as a job runner which is how jobrunner05 was installed.

We would have to get the thumb redirected to an imagescaler using Precise.

Following j^ reopening of this bug, I have migrated the apache boxes to use Precises. Boxes are apache30 and apache31 and use Precise ffmpeg & ffmpeg2theora packages.

I believe that fixed the video thumbnailing issue:
