Full length movie does not show up in Video lens

[Timo Leppiniemi]

I just uploaded a movie trailer (49Mb in size) to my Nexus 7 (2013, 4G version) and Nexus 4 it worked ok. After that I copied a full length movie (1.5Gb in size) and it did not show up in the Video lens at all. File itself is ok and playable.

Ubuntu touch version on both Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 is r248.

/home/phablet/.cache/upstart/mediascanner.log has error regarding the added file:

mediascanner-service[1845]: WARNING warning/fs-walker: Unable to discover "/home/phablet/Videos/filename.mp4", error code: 5

/home/phablet/.cache/upstart/mediascanner-2.0.log error as follows:

New file was created: /home/phablet/Videos/filename.mp4.
Error when adding new file: Unable to discover file /home/phablet/Videos/filename.mp4

The only difference with these two video files are that Audio track in the trailer is 44100Hz sample rate and the full length movies has 48000Hz samplerate. Audio and video codecs are the same.

This seems to be a failure from GstDiscoverer. In particular, error code 5 is GST_DISCOVERER_MISSING_PLUGINS.

Perhaps try installing gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-apps on the device and run "gst-discoverer-1.0" on the two files to see if that shows any differences.

I used a couple of freely available files in different containers and audio/video formats from https://peach.blender.org/download/ , https://durian.blender.org/download/ , https://orange.blender.org/ , https://mango.blender.org/ , http://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/lpg40911 , http://mcpd.pagesperso-orange.fr/Avistep3/index_en.html and http://sourceforge.net/projects/matroska/files/test_files/matroska_test_w1_1.zip/download so everybody can reproduce the issue(s). The matching parts from my ~/.cache/upstart/mediascanner-2.0.log are attached. I don't seem to have a "mediascanner.log". There are no return codes reported in the error messages.

I'll add a failed case here for convenience and reference:

New file was created: /media/phablet/3151-268D/Videos/big_buck_bunny_480p_surround-fix.avi.
Extracting metadata from /media/phablet/3151-268D/Videos/big_buck_bunny_480p_surround-fix.avi.
Error when adding new file: Unable to discover file /media/phablet/3151-268D/Videos/big_buck_bunny_480p_surround-fix.avi

The service seems to corrupt memory and crash a lot if "enough" files have to be scanned.

Any updates on this?
