[Bug 873767] Re: infinite loop in totem-video-thumbnailer

 

Had some issue with my .thumbnail directory and the fail icon for the
file wasn't being stored, so thus the infinite loop. Worked well with
gnome 2, so maybe the way it works now is less robust than in gnome 2?
Either way is solved, so I'll mark it invalid.

** Changed in: totem (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  infinite loop in totem-video-thumbnailer

Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm not sure if this totem-video-thumbnailer or nautilus who is at
  fault here. When I open any folder with audio files in it, I noticed
  that the laptop fan started up a few moments later, then later I
  noticed the icons for the audio files were always the temporary ones
  when nautilus is waiting for a thumbnail of the media. Then I check
  .xsession-errors to see if anything was being logged and noticed that
  there's a continuous output from totem-video-thumbnailer with the
  following:

  totem-video-thumbnailer: 'file:///home/bruno/Desktop/my.mp3' isn't thumbnailable
  Reason: Media contains no supported video streams.

  It's a continuous stream with this message for each audio file in the
  open folders.

  So either totem-video-thumbnailer is on an infinte loop or nautilus is
  never happy with totem-video-thumbnailer output and is calling it over
  and over again.

  This is on Ubuntu 11.10
  totem is version 3.0.1-0ubuntu7
  nautilus is version 1:3.2.0-0ubuntu5
