FLAC with embedded art not being displayed by Nautilus 3.0.2 (35.82 KB, image/png)

FLAC file with album art (866.56 KB, audio/flac)
2012-01-20 22:30 UTC, Djzn.BR 		Details

Description Djzn.BR 2011-09-27 02:19:05 UTC 
Currently, if a MP3 file or AAC file has an embedded image, Nautilus will display it, in icon-view mode.

Please do the same for FLAC and OGG files.

I hope that is not too difficult.
Comment 1 Cosimo Cecchi 2011-09-27 02:29:15 UTC 
The embedded art extraction is done by the totem thumbnailer.
Comment 2 Djzn.BR 2011-09-27 02:32:25 UTC 
cosimoc, so this needs to be redirected to that. Thanks! I will do it.
Comment 3 Djzn.BR 2011-09-27 02:33:09 UTC 
This would be nice before the final 3.2 release.

Given that the tarballs were required yesterday, I don't see how.
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2011-09-27 13:07:40 UTC 
It already does FLAC and Ogg actually. What version of Totem are you using? Does flac and ogg not appear in the thumbnailer file that Totem installs?
Comment 6 Djzn.BR 2011-09-27 16:04:16 UTC 
1) Totem is
[user@archstation ~]# totem --version
totem 3.0.1


2) In fact, Nautilus is reading OGG embedded art. But it`s not reading FLAC embedded art. 

3) I`m attaching a screenshot.

4) When I play them directly on Totem, all album art is displayed.

....

5) For the life of me, I just can`t grab any screenshot with Print Screen or GIMP in Gnome Shell, as it will grab only the wallpaper. Any hints

Well, I finally got the shot using imagemagick package. I think that flaw (not getting the screenshot) was something to do with archlinux.

Can you provide us with a FLAC file with embedded art?

gnome-desktop doesn't handle aliases for thumbnails.

    data: Add audio/flac as a mime-type
    
    So that FLAC files can be thumbnailed too.

Comment 12 Bastien Nocera 2012-01-23 19:44:23 UTC 
(which means you can add "audio/flac;" at the end of the MimeType line in /usr/share/thumbnailers/totem.thumbnailer, and it will work. Don't forget the ";" to finish the list).
