Googling shows this as a known issue on numerous distros (ie. arch, mint). FWIW I did not read any of the responses.

[dolphin_oracle]

is gthumb supposed to view videos? traditionally its an image viewer. and I see no mention of videos on the gthumb project page.

[manyroads]

That was my first thought, too @d_o I've always thought gthumb was only intended for photo viewing not video. Personally I use celluloid for videos with my grandsons.

[galen]

it actually supports many media file types,
useful for going through large number of mp3s etc

[Stevo]

Debian's description of the app only covers images. Perhaps Debian does not enable video or audio.

On what distro do those media work for you, and what version of gthumb?

Maybe you're misremembering or confusing with something else ?

It was already asked, but on what Distros (and desktop environment) can you attest to it working like you said?

gthumb has plugins and extensions, maybe that's where the answer lies, or there is another package providing this capability.

FWIW, we have a pretty new version of gthumb in the MX Test Repo
