Bug Description

When I open a folder with some video files, the Totem thumbnailer crashes and only a part of the thumbnails are created.
The strange thing is that the video files are all of the same type.

For example I have a folder with 10 video files of this type:

- container: Matroska (mkv)
- video encoder: H.264
- audio encoder: AC-3 (ATSC A/52)

and the totem thumbnailer creates only 4 thumbnails, and for the other files there is the default icon.
Previously I had Ubuntu 12.04 installed, and the Totem thumbnailer worked very well with these same video files and all the others.

This could be this old bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729768 which was fixed in gstreamer 1.4, or it could be https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770528 which is fixed in gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad 1.10.0.

Keep an eye on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-bad1.0 to see when gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad 1.10.0 arrives in the currently under development Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus".

Is this still an issue with a currently supported release?
