Nautilus does not generate thumbnails for mp4 files in Ubuntu 24.04

poldi171254 · October 11, 2024, 1:04am

Files v46.2 on Ubuntu 24.04 does not generate thumbnails for mp4 files after upgrading from a previous version of Ubuntu.

I have ffmpegthumbnailer installed and this worked prior to the upgrade

I’ve also upgraded one of my laptops and found a similar issue, only this time it’s the .avi files that don’t have a thumbnail.

I’ve followed pretty much all suggestion to resolve this that I could find, but without success so far.

I have run nautilus in debug mode and got the following

(org.gnome.Nautilus:82993): nautilus-file-DEBUG: 17:39:09.416: file:///home/llist/tmp/YouTubetest.mp4

One other thing to note is that when I delete all thumbnails, open Natiles and go to the video folder, the load average when I do a ‘top’ goes as hogh as 60, without producing a single ‘valid’ thumbnail

I have found an mp4 file where nautilus does generate a thumbnail.

I’m using ‘mediainfo’ to get the following details

According to the log totem-video-thumbnailer is being used, which can only thumbnail videos with codecs you have the right gstreamer plugins installed for. Make sure you have gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly, gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad and gstreamer1.0-libav installed to generate thumbnails of videos using codecs affected by software patents, such as the one used in your second video.

poldi171254 · October 12, 2024, 4:28am

Thanks, but had this installed already

Attached is a screenshot of all the installed gstreamer packages

Also, if I run totem-video-thumbnailer from the command line the thumbnail is generated without any errors/warnings

skeller · October 12, 2024, 11:50am

Can you try running it outside of the sandbox with the GST_REGISTRY_1_0=/home/llist/.cache/gnome-desktop-thumbnailer/gstreamer-1.0/gstreamer-1.0.registry environment variable set?

Maybe gstreamer is indirectly running some OpenBLAS functions via some of the plugins when creating/updating the registry and that might be failing due to limitations of the sandbox. Once the registry has been updated this should not be necessary anymore until the next update of one of the gstreamer packages.

poldi171254 · October 14, 2024, 12:48am

Sorrym but don’t know how to run nautilus outside the sandbox.

Have tried setting the GST_REGISTRY_1_0 as requested, but the result was thew same when I ran

G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all NAUTILUS_DEBUG=Window nautilus

the result was

I meant running the thumbnailer outside of the sandbox, like you have already done previously.

poldi171254 · October 14, 2024, 4:10am

Sorry,
but am still unsure what I need to do
Thanks

skeller · October 14, 2024, 7:12am

Just do that again, but this time with GST_REGISTRY_1_0=/home/llist/.cache/gnome-desktop-thumbnailer/gstreamer-1.0/gstreamer-1.0.registry in the environment.

Or run env GST_REGISTRY_1_0=/home/llist/.cache/gnome-desktop-thumbnailer/gstreamer-1.0/gstreamer-1.0.registry gst-inspect-1.0 or anything else that would initialize the registry.

poldi171254 · October 14, 2024, 7:39am

I’ve done the following

GST_REGISTRY_1_0=/home/llist/.cache/gnome-desktop-thumbnailer/gstreamer-1.0/gstreamer-1.0.registry
totem-video-thumbnailer  -l YouTubetest.mp4  leo

This genrates a thumbnail (as it always had)

I than ran

G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all NAUTILUS_DEBUG=Window nautilus

with the same result; no thumbnails

I also tried with the same outcome

env GST_REGISTRY_1_0=/home/llist/.cache/gnome-desktop-thumbnailer/gstreamer-1.0/gstreamer-1.0.registry gst-inspect-1.0

skeller · October 14, 2024, 8:36am

Does that still give the OpenBLAS error message?

poldi171254 · October 15, 2024, 12:35am

Yep, OpenBLAS still runs out of resources

That’s very strange. The only thing I can think of that would cause a gstreamer plugin that uses OpenBLAS to get used here is updating the plugin registry. I don’t think any of the video codecs make use of it. That’s why I was trying to update the registry without the sandbox restrictions. Once the registry has been updated for the currently installed plugins, it should not need another update until the installed plugins change again. So after that only the actually needed plugins should get initialized.

When was ~/.cache/gnome-desktop-thumbnailer/gstreamer-1.0/gstreamer-1.0.registry last modified?

I deleted

.cache/gnome-desktop-thumbnailer
.cache/gstreamer-1.0

and rebooted.
After logging in

.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin

is created.
After starting nautilus and going to a folder contaning media

.cache/gnome-desktop-thumbnailer/gstreamer-1.0/gstreamer-1.0.registry

is created.

Is there anything spcific I can check for in the registry?

I thought I start from scratch (as much as possible) and uninstalled anyting totem related i could without uninstalling the desktop and did the same for any package using gstreamer and ffmpeg.

I then rebooted and thumbnails are now created as expected.
Attached are screenshot for the packages I have (still) installed.

I could only post two media items, so here is the ffmpeg
