# pacman -S tumbler ffmpegthumbnailer gstreamer0.10 No video tumbnails for any *.avi files etc. If I insert my external USB HDD /usr/lib/tumbler-1/tumblerd seems to freeze: `lsof' shows that all video files in open directories of that HDD are open by it. Therefore no normal dismounting works. |

Reason for closing: Won't fix
Additional comments about closing: It's up to the user to install any needed gstreamer plugins. Report upstream if tumbler locks up or otherwise misbehaves.

EDIT: Even though tumblerd does not lock up the system, it still prevents unmounting of removable media as before.
Also this problem appear after the version 0.1.21-3 of tumbler. If I downgrade tumbler to 0.1.21-3 it works just fine.
pacman -S gstreamer0.10-plugins ffmpegthumbnailer
rm ~/.thumbnails -r
pkill thunar
pkill tumbler
run thunar
Good luck!
I think there is a mistake in dependencies:
`tumbler' should require `gstreamer0.10-plugins' not `gstreamer0.10' for video thumbnails. For all (complete set of!) plugins it works fine and doesn't freeze.
Please: change the (optional) dependencies!
gstreamer0.10-bad
gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins
gstreamer0.10-base-plugins
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
gstreamer0.10-good-plugins
gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins
Only gstreamer0.10-good-plugins works (for me) the other one doesn't fix anything.
Thanks for the fix anyway !
If tumbler misbehaves in the absence of certain gstreamer plugins, that should probably be reported upstream. (The normal behavior would be not to display any thumbnails, but freezing/using up all the memory/etc doesn't sound right.)
