I'm pretty sure that there is nothing wrong with extraction from ogg files; we have tests for this. But, if most of these files do not contain artwork and you add an SD card with thousands of songs and run up the music app, the music app will send hundreds of requests to the thumbnailer. No problem, the thumbnailer queues them all up and patiently grinds through them. However, for each file without embedded artwork, the remote server has to deliver an image. This is slow. So slow that, in all likelihood, some of those requests will time out in the app because they will spend more than 30 seconds in the queue before the thumbnailer even sends the request for the image to the server. Again, no big deal. The server will reply eventually, and the thumbnailer will cache the image. But the calling music app may well get tired of waiting and show you the "no artwork" default image instead.
However, if you scroll around in a song list or the like, as soon as you move away from a missing thumbnail far enough and scroll back to it, the app will re-issue the request for the thumbnail. That second request will be answered instantly because, by now, the thumbnailer will have the image in the cache and deliver it in about a millisecond. So, I'm wondering whether what you are seeing is simply due to the fact that a lot of files are added at once, and it simply takes quite a while to fetch the thumbnails for all of them? The other possibility is that, at the time you tried, the remote server had a problem, in which case we back off and stop asking the server again for two hours. That's to avoid hammering the network needlessly and draining the battery. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512608 Title: No thumbnails generated for OGG audio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thumbnailer/+bug/1512608/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
