A test video that plays properly in totem but from which a thumbnail cannot be created (983.30 KB, application/x-bzip)

Description Xavier Duret 2011-01-08 17:13:05 UTC 
The file "test.vob" is the beginning of a much larger file originating from a DVD. It is played properly by all major linux players (VLC, totem, mplayer and ffplay) but totem-video-thumbnailer is not capable to generate a thumbnail from it.

/usr/bin/totem-video-thumbnailer test.vob test.png

totem-video-thumbnailer couldn't get a picture from 'test.vob'

The problem can be reproduced with Ubuntu 10.10 using gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse version 0.10.25-4ubuntu2.

Note that the same video in a matroska container produces a thumbnail. Remuxing was done with mkvtoolnix.

Seems to work fine for me with totem 3.2.1 and current pre-relases (core/base 0.10.35.3, = the upcoming 0.10.36 release). Closing as obsolete. Please re-open if you can still reproduce this with current versions of GStreamer, thanks!
