--------------- thumbnailer (2.4+16.04.20160321-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium [ Michi Henning ] * vs-thumb now uses a separate pipe instead of writing to stdout (LP: #1556835). [ CI Train Bot ] * No-change rebuild. -- Michi Henning <[email protected]> Mon, 21 Mar 2016 02:12:07 +0000 ** Changed in: thumbnailer (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to thumbnailer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556835 Title: vs-thumb should not rely on standard streams to communicate result image back Status in Canonical System Image: Fix Committed Status in thumbnailer package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: vs-thumb right now streams extracted data to stdout by default (see [1]). The approach is brittle in the sense that any component (e.g., gstreamer or gstreamer plugin) writing to stdout can easily break the thumbnail. We have zero control over stdout and should thus either: (1.) Rely on specifying an explicit temporary destination file or (2.) Open a dedicated communication pipe to communicate back the resulting thumbnail to the calling process. Please also see [2.] for the respective product bug.
