It looks like the gallery app times out after a while and then displays the "missing art" icon.
It shouldn't be doing that. On the initial load of the app with a cold cache, we need to thumbnail loads of photos and videos. On a Mako, that takes quite some time. We are parallelizing this as much as possible already but, if there are many videos, the last one can take more than 30 seconds to show up. The thumbnailer *will* eventually come up with a thumbnail, so there is no point in timing out in the calling app. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gallery-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1463262 Title: black video thumbnails Status in Thumbnail generator for all kinds of files: New Status in gallery-app package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have about 30 photos and 30 videos on the phone. When starting the gallery app, I scroll the carousel all the way to the right, to force all thumbnails to be loaded. (That's while there are still lots of spinners shown.) All the videos appear at the right- hand end of the carousel. Most of them have good thumbnails but, randomly, a few of them show a black thumbnail. Looking in the cache, we do not report any failures or other errors. When looking at the cache with thumbnailer-admin, I see that we have cached a completely black image in the full-size cache. The only way for that to happen is if vs-thumb gives us a black thumbnail without reporting an error. Looks like streamer is to blame. (I'm seeing this with two concurrent vs-thumbs running.)
