Sorry for the double-post, but I have better luck generating thumbnails using totem-xine. By that I mean installing totem-xine, then telling gnome-video-thumbnailer to use totem-xine.
For anyone who is new to Ubuntu and who lands on this page via a search engine, here are the instructions. 1. open a terminal (gnome-terminal) 2. sudo apt-get install totem-xine 3. sudo update-alternatives --config gnome-video-thumbnailer 4. select /usr/bin/totem-xine-video-thumbnailer, which should be option 2 Thumbnailing is faster for me (and also much more reliable.) Perhaps this should be the default if gstreamer can't be/isn't fixed? -- gnome-video-thumbnailer unable to process file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187136 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
