## thunar video thumbnails in wheezy

Fri Sep 27, 2013 2:40 pm

There are a lot of outdated explanations of how to get video thumbnails working in thunar. This works.
Install tumbler, which now uses gstreamer instead of ffmpegthumbnailer.
I also installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg.
(I'm not sure if "bad" is required.)

when I used tumbler and did video encoding, prob with the video destination dir open in thunar,
tumbler used to eat up system RAM by keeping on re-thumbnailing the video..
don't know if its fixed now but I had to sort it out by renaming tumbler-gst-thumbnailer.so in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tumbler-1/plugins/ -which meant no more video thumbs!

It used to eat up cpu cycles, too, just by having thunar open in a dir that contained videos. I haven't seen that happen in a while - it seems to have been fixed.
