[arch-general] thunar-thumbnailer

[pyther]

I had a similar issue with mpd. You should just be able to recompile
ffmpegthumbnailer (and possibly thunar-thumbnailer). If you have trouble
recompiling, add a comment to the ffmpegthumbnailer aur page. If you don't
get a response in a day or two, then send pressh an email, as he is the
maintainer of the package.

Openbox + Thunar + Thunar thumbnailer in Arch (completely updated), I

thumbnails anymore.

AFAIK, the problem is related to a new version of ffmpeg... My system
messages show me that ffmpegthumbnailer looks out for a libavcodec.so.51
(lib that used to be provided by ffmpeg package, that was recently replaced
by libavcodec.so.52.10.0). But the newer version of ffmpegthumbnailer in
community, still looks for libavcodec.so.51. Then... obviously "error while
loading shared libraries - no such file of direcrory".

I've
already tried to create a symbolic link named libavcodec.so.51
pointing to libavcodec.so.52.10.0, and when I try to do that, the
ffmpegthumbnailer returns "Error: Could not find video stream"

 I've also tried to recompile ffmpeg and also ffmped-thumbnailer and all
of it's dependencys from the newer versions of each one in AUR, but it was
a frustrated attempt.

Anybody else reports the same issues? If positive, any workaround to make
it work?
