Based on the discussion here, it seems that video chapter thumbnail generation is an all-or-nothing toggle. Would like to have the ability to turn this off on a per-library basis, like we can do with video preview thumbnails.

> Chapter thumbnails are not the same as video preview thumbnails. The former only produce one picture for every chapter marker, while the latter produce a picture every 5 seconds (by default). So the amount of storage required for chapter thumbnails is quite negligible (unless you have files with hundreds of chapters).
