How can i streaming vod with thumbnail ?

Nimble has no functionality to generate thumbnails, you can use FFmpeg command like this to generate it:
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -ss 00:00:30 -vframes 1 -vf scale=320:-1 thumb.jpg

You can also read this discussion for thumbnails generation with ffmpeg:

You want to display thumbnails on time scale, right?
It's not related to smil anyway, here is description for JW Player: https://support.jwplayer.com/articles/how-to-add-preview-thumbnails
You must prepare thumbnails and then create WEBVTT file that contain match between time and thumbnails. Then on player page you should pass it to jwplayer setup like this:
{ file: "<video_url>",
tracks: [{file:"http://<nimble_ip>/vod/thumbs.webvtt", kind: "thumbnails"}]
}
