Bug#802007: totem-video-thumbnailer: large amount of GStreamer-CRITICAL errors

[Geoffroy Aubry]

Package: totem
Version: 3.14.0-2
Severity: normal

When using totem-video-thumbnailer with a *.flv video,

totem-video-thumbnailer test.flv test.png

I get a large amount of these errors

(totem-video-thumbnailer:14346): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_mini_object_unref:
assertion 'mini_object != NULL' failed

(totem-video-thumbnailer:14346): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_event_parse_seek:
assertion 'GST_IS_EVENT (event)' failed

This is also a problem as the log files /var/log/messages and user.log get very
big: several hundreds of MB for each new video on the system.

When using it with an *.avi video, it works perfectly without errors.
