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).

Title:
  No thumbnails generated for OGG audio

Status in music-app package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in thumbnailer package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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
