Hi all, Apologies for bothering the list, but this sounds very much like a problem some users were encountering if the thumbnailer tried to run on a machine with certain versions of gstreamer-plugins-bad installed; in that case, the crash was not in the Shotwell code itself, but rather in an underlying library (please see http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5252 and https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683053).
Eric, if you do manage to obtain a stacktrace and happen to see it crashing at or near the same spot in dca_syncinfo(), please let us know; I seem to remember there being some combination of libraries that could be installed as a workaround, or one could build and install libdca from source from VLC's trunk (the version they have is somewhat ahead of what's being used in GStreamer at the moment, it seems, and the crash has been fixed).
