Description lsof 2005-03-29 21:22:23 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
totem-video-thumbnailer is a command-line tool for generating thumbnails of movies.

As a command line tool, it should behave as the other command line tools do:
 $ totem-video-thumbnailer ./imgp1234.avi out.png
should work.

Unfortunately, gnome style urls must be used. This is fine for within gnome, but
it seems a shame that a useful program like this can't be used quickly and
intuitively.

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

They're not "GNOME-style urls" but just URLs...
And it works fine with the xine-lib backend. Maybe the GStreamer backend should
be a bit more gentle, or should we restrict what the xine-lib backend takes in
to proper URLs?

We used to support this, but I removed it because you told me Totem did it
internally already. :). I can add it back if wanted.
Comment 3 Ronald Bultje 2005-03-30 11:42:12 UTC 
ok, done...
