This is some kind of encoding bug with Swift or the binding to it. Temp urls for files like 7/74/SA_challenge_2013.jpg work fine. Maybe it's the comma.
For another data point, compare these two thumbnail URLs (stills of the same video at 12:27 and 12:28, respectively, with the same size): [1] [2] [1] works fine, while [2] generates the same "Error generating thumbnail" message as above. This probably has to do with the fact that [1] has already been generated earlier, as it is in use on a wiki page [3]. On the other hand, a still at the same time as [1] but with a different size (which probably has not been used/generated before) displays fine, too: [4] [1] https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/WMF_Monthly_Metrics_Meeting_December_5%2C_2013.ogv/550px-seek%3D747-WMF_Monthly_Metrics_Meeting_December_5%2C_2013.ogv.jpg [2] https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/WMF_Monthly_Metrics_Meeting_December_5%2C_2013.ogv/550px-seek%3D748-WMF_Monthly_Metrics_Meeting_December_5%2C_2013.ogv.jpg [3] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Report,_November_2013 [4] https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/WMF_Monthly_Metrics_Meeting_December_5%2C_2013.ogv/750px-seek%3D747-WMF_Monthly_Metrics_Meeting_December_5%2C_2013.ogv.jpg
