This seems to be related to the androidmedia elements from gstreamer1.0-hybris, so changing the source package link: I can't reproduce it with the standard elements.
In the hope that this might be a quirk of the pipeline used by vs-thumb, I've ported the utility over to using the standard playbin element to auto-plug the full pipeline (the same as mediahub): https://code.launchpad.net/~jamesh/thumbnailer/thumbnail- playbin/+merge/254025 The results are the same for these extra short videos. Jim: if you've got any ideas, I'd love to hear them. ** Package changed: gst-plugins-base1.0 (Ubuntu) => gst-plugins-bad1.0 (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gst-plugins-bad1.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1391286 Title: Fails to generate thumbnail for small videos recorded with camera-app Status in Thumbnail generator for all kinds of files: New Status in gst-plugins-bad1.0 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in thumbnailer package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Videos with less than one sec recorded by camera-app (like when you click on the record button and immediately stops the recording process) have problems while generating thumbnail.
