Video thumbnails not displayed

Xygyl commented 3 months ago

Distribution

Gentoo 2.15

Package version

6.0.2

Frequency

Always

Bug description

There are no video thumbnails despite having (seemingly) completed all necessary steps. I have ffmpegthumbnailer installed, the preview size limit is set to 64GB, totem isn't installed (so there's no conflict in /usr/share/thumbnailers), and ~/.cache/thumbnails doesn't exist.

Thumbnails are displayed on my desktop running AwesomeWM, but they aren't on my laptop running Hyprland. I have assured that both are configured in the exact same way. Furthermore, "nemo --debug" gives the same output on both.

Steps to reproduce

I'm not sure how to reproduce it; this is the way that it has always been. This has been a problem on my desktop but it's been fixed (I have no idea how).

Expected behavior

Video thumbnails are displayed.

Additional information

I tried looking everywhere but every solution I came across wither wasn't applicable (like ~/.cache/thumbnails not existing) or simply didn't work. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this, but I'm out of ideas.

8 cores with 16 threads. The solution in that thread did not work.

Do you have a file /usr/share/thumbnailers/ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer ? Contents:-

No, that directory only has evince.thumbnailer and librsvg.thumbnailer. I have ffmpegthumbnailer installed.

Installing the package should have installed /usr/share/thumbnailers/ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer

Xygyl commented 3 months ago

Well, it didn't. I tried to make the file with the text you provided and it didn't do anything.

In Mint (Debian edtion) apt-cache policy ffmpegthumbnailer shows

ffmpegthumbnailer:
  Installed: 2.2.2+git20220218+dfsg-1+b1

I'm on Gentoo, does that make a difference?

Jeremy7701 commented 3 months ago

Possibly. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/833263
