Public bug reported: Distribution: Xubuntu 17.10 Name of the faulty package: gstreamer1.0-vaapi Tested video format to be affected: h.264
The package(gstreamer1.0-vaapi) is part of the very popular package xubuntu-restricted-extras(ubuntu-restricted-extras). In a unmodified Xubuntu 17.10 system, while installed, it prevents thumbnail generation of videos. Already generated thumbnails will be shown, while new thumbnails won't be generated. It seems almost all videos encoded with h.264 format is affected. I have a few videos which are encoded with h.265, VP9 codec which aren't affected(thumbnails are being generated for them while this package is installed).
