You have been subscribed to a public bug: gstreamer occasionally fails to extract a thumbnail from a video file. It's clearly a race condition because, almost all of the time, it succeeds. To reproduce:
Check out the thumbnailer/devel branch at r217 and build it. Then: cd build/src/vs-thumb ./vs-thumb fd://0 ./x.jpg <../../../tests/media/testvideo.ogg Point a browser at the generated x.jpg file and check that the image was extracted correctly. Now run while ./vs-thumb fd://0 ./x.jpg <../../../tests/media/testvideo.ogg ; do :; done Within maybe a hundred iterations or so, I get: Error creating thumbnail: ThumbnailExtractor: change_state(): reading async messages: GStreamer error: negotiation problem. ** Affects: thumbnailer Importance: High Status: New ** Affects: gstreamer0.10 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gstreamer fails intermittently https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1466273 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
