[SOLVED] mp3 icon in Thunar. LM19.1, but not in Buster

Hi,

Linux Mint 19.1 comes with Thunar 1.6.15, Buster with 1.8.4.

One thing, I could not fix myself.

In LM 19.1 I see

but in Debian Buster this here

Strange, that the mp4 icon is visible in Buster ...

Any idea, please.

Tumbler makes the mp3 icons as of 0.2.4 (see: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/tumbler/commi … 43e1e14b2d) as long as the gstreamer plugin is enbled (the default).

Which version of tumbler comes with each distro? If not 0.2.4, does mint have any extra patches added to the package?

Just had a look at mint 19.1. It includes xplayer which comes with it's own thumbnailer which creates audio thumbnails using tumbler's support for .thumbnail files. Have a look in /usr/share/thumbnailers.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

So it does not make sense, to write a Debian bug report ......

You could, if you wanted to ask to upgrade tumbler to 0.2.4 (I'm not sure what debian's policy is regarding package updates).

Or since you have a version of tumbler that supports .thumbnailer files, you could create your own thumbnailer that uses ffmpeg to create the mp3 covers. To do so, create the file /usr/share/thumbnailers/audiocovers.thumbnailer with the following content:

[Thumbnailer Entry]
TryExec=ffmpeg
Exec=ffmpeg -y -i %i %o -fs %s
MimeType=audio/mpeg

You'll need to restart tumbler and thunar, but maybe easier to log out and back in again.
Note: ffmpeg must be installed for this to work.
