Other information: this is running on Fedora Core 3 on x86-64. I believe its gstreamer doesn't have mpeg support (so it should do nothing, rather than segfault), however Fedora's package maintainer Colin Walters believes this is an upstream issue.
Hi, I checked against CVS (Totem etc.) and it doesn't crash, so I'm assuming either some problem that's fixed already, or a gst-thumbnail specific problem. Therefore, re-assigning to nautilus-media.
do you still have this issue?
Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.
no reply, bug closed. Feel free to reopen with the asked informations if that's still an issue for you
hmm, it seems that gst-thumbnail went away in FC4, so I can't reproduce this. Though, the mpeg isn't getting thumbnailed at all. If I can figure out how to make it do that again, and reproduce this bug, I'll reopen it, but for now I've no problem with it being closed. Thanks.
