Log file

Since the switch to gnome 3.14, shotwell 0.20 erased all my video thumbnails and can't generate new good ones (even when importing new videos). I get this error message in shotwell.log :

L 8106 2014-12-13 23:10:22 [DBG] VideoSupport.vala:224: Launching thumbnailer process: /usr/lib/shotwell/shotwell-video-thumbnailer
L 8106 2014-12-13 23:10:22 [DBG] VideoSupport.vala:231: Spawned thumbnailer, child pid: 8260
L 8106 2014-12-13 23:10:23 [DBG] VideoSupport.vala:248: Error creating pixbuf: Format d'image non reconnu

('Format d'image non reconnu' should translate to 'Unknown image format').

A complete log of an import with a video file is joined.

I forgot to tell I'm on arch linux.

I don't have any video thumbnails either, except my shotwell.log looks different:

L 599 2014-12-30 12:27:49 [MSG] main.vala:385: Shotwell Gestionnaire de photos 0.20.2
L 599 2014-12-30 12:27:50 [MSG] main.vala:43: Verifying database ...

Can you pull from master and try again?  I'm curious if bug #718989 solves this for you.
Comment 4 Hervé ROMANO 2015-01-02 14:27:52 UTC 
Seems to be working :

- Created a new user
- git clone
- configure
- make
- ran git version of shotwell
- imported a video
==> thumbnail Ok
- closed shotwell

- launched previous version of shotwell
- lost thumbnail
- closed shotwell
- deleted .cache/shotwell/thumbs
- ran git version of shotwell again
- thumbnail regenerated and ok

Thanks!
