Description Romain Failliot 2014-04-19 16:28:05 UTC
Created attachment 274733 [details]
Uncomputed thumbnails

I can't use Totem because I need to wait for at least 10 minutes each time I open Totem before being able to read a video.

I have apparently a pretty huge "Recent" list of videos, I can't say exactly since Totem is really too slow to browse the list. All I can say is that I have 2194 files in my Videos directory.

Each time I scroll down in my "Recent" list, I have one CPU at 100% the three others are just waiting. It seems to be linked to the thumbnailing because when I scroll down more thumbnails are computed and thus freezing Totem.

I also have a lot of "failed" thumbnails where I can only see the camera icon in the middle of the rectangle where there should be the thumbnail, although I can read these videos.

If you want any other data, just ask ;)

I added two images: one to show you the failed thumbnails, and one for the CPU usage when scrolling.

The thumbnails are not "computed", they're just loaded off the disk, asynchronously.

They're not failed thumbnails, there's just no loaded thumbnails. See 727748.
