This could be this old bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729768 which was fixed in gstreamer 1.4, or it could be https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770528 which is fixed in gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad 1.10.0.
Keep an eye on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-bad1.0 to see when gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad 1.10.0 arrives in the currently under development Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus". ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #729768 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729768 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #770528 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770528 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313863 Title: totem-video-thumbnailer crashed with SIGSEGV in g_slice_alloc() Status in totem package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I open a folder with some video files, the Totem thumbnailer crashes and only a part of the thumbnails are created. The strange thing is that the video files are all of the same type. For example I have a folder with 10 video files of this type: - container: Matroska (mkv) - video encoder: H.264 - audio encoder: AC-3 (ATSC A/52) and the totem thumbnailer creates only 4 thumbnails, and for the other files there is the default icon. Previously I had Ubuntu 12.04 installed, and the Totem thumbnailer worked very well with these same video files and all the others.
