[SOLVED] No more thumbnail in thunar

Hi,

System : Debian Sid
Xfce: 4.14
Thunar: 1.18.11-1

I don't understand why, thumbnails are no more generated into ~/.cache/thumbnail.

What i tried so far :
chown -R user:user on ~/.cache/thumbnail
clean ~/.cache/thumbnail
Remove ~/.config/Thunar
In thunar settings, "Show thumbnail" is set to always
Tried to reinstall tumbler/tumbler-common/tumbler-plugins-extra/ffmpegthumbnailer

A process /usr/lib/x86_64/thumber-1/thumblerd is running

Tried a kill all Thunar, tried thunar -q

If anyone have anything to try for get back the thumbnail...

Thanks by advance

Edit : nevermind, i restarted and everything is back to normal

Re: [SOLVED] No more thumbnail in thunar

Hi there,

Thumbnail stopped working another time...

I tried all my above step, even restart, and thumbnail are no more generated...

I tried to run the command used in "/usr/share/thumbnailers/ffmpegthumbnailer.thumbnailer" which is :
ffmpegthumbnailer -i %i -o %o -s %s -f

Replacing %i by a random video, %o by test.png, and the thumb got generated correctly...

If anyone can help

Edit : solved another time ^^

That's really strange, because until now thumb for video was generated no matter the size of the input file. But after reading the xfce docs about tumberd, i see there is a config file into "/etc/xdg/tumbler/tumbler.rc", with a max size of 200 MB fo input file. So i copied it into "./config/tumberd", disable the max file size parameter, and now thumb are back

What i don't understand is that i've not received update concerning tumblerd, so how the behaviour of the lib changed itself...
