Public bug reported:
I tried installing gstreamer0.10-vaapi for gpu accelerated video
decoding. Generally, vaapi works but it only supports mpeg2, h264 and
vc1. So one would guess that a video application should just fall back
to the standard decoders when trying to play an unsupported video.
Totem seems to have trouble with this. First, the thumbnailer isnt
working for non-vaapi videos:
$ /usr/bin/totem-video-thumbnailer -j no-vaapi-support.mp4 test.png
libva: VA-API version 0.32.0
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns 0
totem-video-thumbnailer: 'no-vaapi-support.mp4' isn't thumbnailable
Reason: Media contains no supported video streams.
Another problem is that when opening the properties for unsupported
videos in nautilus the application just freezes and crashes.
