nautilus does'nt thumbnail ogv files

[Jurgis Pralgauskis]

Binary package hint: nautilus

if I rip DVD with thoggen, it generates ogv files
but nautilus doesn't thumbnail them

if I rename extention to ogg, run it with totem for first few seconds, thumbnails appear :)
(probably converting to ogg is not necessary, as I was just experimenting)

thank you for your bug report, nautilus doesn't do video thumbnailing, what thumbnailer do you use? could you attach a .ogv example to the bug?

[Jurgis Pralgauskis (jurgis-pralgauskis)]

my ogv is 200MB, but the idea is that, when I have files listed in nautilus window, I see the thumbs of pictures and videos

don't know which part of software is responsible for that..
but strangelly enough avi use to show at once, ogv don't

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the thumbnailer are registered under desktop, gnome, thumbnailers in gconf-editor, totem doesn't claim the video@x-ogg mimetype that's why those ogv are not thumbnailed, that's an upstream change request

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

why did you change the bug to be private now? that will restrict the access to it and make less likely than somebody will work on the issue

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

setting the bug as public again since there is no comment explaining why the change as been made and nothing looks private there

Here is a 60 second test file encoded with ffmpeg.

I'm surprised to read that nautilus isn't expected to do this, as I see thumbnails for .avi, .mp4 and .ogg videos. Renaming a .ogv to .ogg gets the preview working for me.

I'm attaching an example screenshot. In this example, the .ogg and .ogv are identical files, showing that the preview works if the file extension is .ogg but not .ogv.

Ah, you seem to be saying that nautilus doesn't do the thumbnailing itself, but is dependent on an external player. Here are the relevant settings:

Video with a .ogg extension seems to be identified as video/x-theora+ogg, while .ogv is simply video/ogg. Totem doesn't seem to register a thumbnailer for video/ogg.

the bug is fixed in intrepid now
