Replying here since the original post has the correct info. Took me a
bit to try some of things in other reply. I had to help install two TVs
and tried to do some hunting today for a friend. Most of the files you
mentioned aren't on this system and some paths don't exist either.
Maybe different USE flags or something?? I dunno. Since this is
actually dolphin, what does dolphin use to generate those thumbnails?
Maybe I need to beat some sense into that thing. Another thing that hit
me, I have three video packages installed, these three.
root@fireball / # equery list mpv ffmpeg mplayer
* Searching for mpv ...
[IP-] [ ] media-video/mpv-0.36.0-r1:0/2
* Searching for ffmpeg ...
[IP-] [ ] media-video/ffmpeg-4.4.4-r8:0/56.58.58
* Searching for mplayer ...
[IP-] [ ] media-video/mplayer-1.5_p20230618:0
root@fireball / #
I'm wondering, if I remove ffmpeg, could my video players use mpv or
mplayer? Does dolphin use ffmpeg or mplayer to generate the
thumbnails? I need to keep mpv because I use that to play videos
directly. I think smplayer needs mplayer, maybe. Another thought,
you see any USE flags that need to be changed? Maybe I missed a new one
that I need to enable or something.

Is your issue related to these logs being generated, or to these logs being
captured. If the latter, then my previous response on configuring the sddm
logs should help.

[gentoo-user] Thumbnail thingy generating large xorg-session.log file
Howdy,
I was poking around the other day and noticed a large log file. At
first I thought it was smplayer but it does it even when smplayer is
closed. So, I tested several things and finally noticed it stops
generating errors when I turn off showing thumbnails in dolphin. This
is a sample of what it enters into xorg-sessions.log file.

When I cut off thumbnails and turn it back on, I also get some messages
like this.

I cleared the log file since it was over 1GB. I looked around in
dolphin settings and can't figure out a way to cut those messages off.
I'm not sure how to fix this. If the video is broken somehow, they all
play fine on my TV. I'm kinda thinking that something is is having
problems but I don't know how it generates thumbnails to know what that
is.
Anyone have ideas or thoughts on this? Is it a bug that will be fixed
soon and just give it time? Should I threaten it with a hammer? ROFL
Thanks.

Sometimes it also prints warnings about fixing your video file or it may not work with ffmpeg in the future. I haven't used smplayer/mplayer for the best part of 10 years, so I don't know how it could be tweaked. You could try creating an alias for mplayer with the '--quiet' option, or whatever equivalent mplayer has to suppress console output, or find if you can specify this in smplayer's config. Alternatively, if you don't want to approach this from the video player angle, you can look into controlling the log output of sddm: /usr/share/sddm/sddm.conf.d/00default.conf Search the above file to find "# Path to the user session log file" and after you copy it over to your /etc/ssdm/ comment out the path to the log file, or redirect it to /dev/null, or if neither of these work symlink the sddm log file from your /home to /dev/null. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] xorg-session filled possibly with sddm errors about video files.
Howdy, I was digging around the other day and noticed a large log file. I just had to see why it was so large. It's over 1GB. This is a example of its content. It just repeats, a LOT.
