Comment 4 for bug 1295062

Device: bq Aquaris E4.5 (krillin)
Image: 14.10 (r21, OTA-3)

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.
