If you try with your own collection and scan the log, if you find a bad request followed by loads of "failed previously", we are dealing with the same issue. If not, I'd still like to get my hands on your collection, but let's hold off with that for now.
I'm working on a fix at the moment. The problem is caused by the music app asking for artist art with an empty artist tag, and asks for album art with an empty album tag. For those, the remote server returns a bad request response. In turn, that sends the thumbnailer into an error handling path where it it incorrectly concludes that the server has returned something silly that should not normally happen (such as an internal server error) and then stops trying to talk the server for two hours. The ultimate cause of the problem is a poorly-designed Qt API that, for a 400 response, returns a totally unexpected and counter-intuitive error code. I should have fix ready today, but it won't become available until OTA-9, I'm afraid. In the mean time, if that is feasible, check whether you can find any songs in your collection with an empty artist or empty album field. Setting these empty fields to something non-empty should fix the problem (if the issue you are seeing is indeed the same one as for my test data set). -- 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/music-app/+bug/1512608/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
