GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 728562
Totem is very slow
Last modified: 2014-04-22 06:36:09 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 ;)
Created attachment 274734 [details] CPU usage while scrolling
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. > 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. They're not failed thumbnails, there's just no loaded thumbnails. See 727748. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 725063 ***
