Though not a serious issue, it still bothers me. It displays thumbnails for images.
Example



I've also tried clearing thumbnails folder in ~/.cache/thumbnails.

  • Try installing gstreamer1.0-libav that should take care of most. The gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly & gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad packages may be needed to get full coverage. You may need to remove the ~/.cache/thumbnails/fail folder after installing.

Install/Reinstall The Totem media player:



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get purge totem
sudo apt-get install totem



Clear the cache:



rm -r ~/.cache/thumbnails



The install of totem (which totem-common package is a part of) creates the thumbnail configuration file:



/usr/share/thumbnailers/totem.thumbnailer

  • It didn't work. Totem was already installed. I still tried clearing the cache
