Fred, thanks for getting bad to us!

If the music app gets killed, it might be because it asks for more than
it can eat. If it sends a large number of requests to the thumbnailer,
and lots of requests get a cache hit, the thumbnailer will deliver close
to a thousand images per second, which can eat a lot of memory.

I suspect that the retry in the thumbnailer is not going to fix this.
This sounds more like a scalability issue outside of the thumbnailer to
me.

The SD card option would be ideal. I thought about doing something with
my own music library, but all of my songs have embedded cover art in
them, and it would take me an eternity to strip out all the cover
images. And, even then, I would have no guarantee that I can reproduce
the problem.

Title:
  No thumbnails generated for OGG audio

Status in music-app package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in thumbnailer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Setup:
    Core Music app 
    BQ HD5
    OTA-7 15.04 r6
    Large collection of audio files in .ogg and .mp3 format on SD card
    Audio files tagged with Artist, Album titile, Track title etc.

  Expected result:
    Album covers and Artist images are displayed in Music app

  Actual result:
    Only mp3 audio files generate thumbnails. No Album of Artist thumbnails are generated for any OGG files

  To test the situation I have
  a) Cleared the thumbnailer failure cache
  b) removed the whole thumbnail cache directory
  c) Removed and reinsterted the SD card
  d) Uninstallled and reinstalled the core Music app

  Before the OTA-7 upgrade the thumbnails were shown for .ogg and .mp3
  files
