Description Gerard Glaser 2013-04-17 20:18:20 CEST 
Description of problem:
Digikam is very slow on indexing all Video and Sound Files (tested with MP3, MKV, AVI, WMA etc.) an don't display them. less than 40.000 files (don't thing I have so much) is indexing since more than 15 hours.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Digikam 1:3.1.0-2.mga3  x86_64

How reproducible:
every time Digikam is indexing files

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Digikam (best from console to see outputs)
2. add a folder with audio/video files
3. drink some cups of coffee

A error-message in the console: 
digikam(9771)/digikam (core) Digikam::ThumbnailCreator::createThumbnail: Cannot create thumbnail for  "/media/Spielfilme/Diverses/backups/Musik/Musicals/SnowWhite - Was wirklich geschah/SnoWhite/01 SnoWhite Introduction.mp3"

Comment 1 Angelo Naselli 2013-04-19 19:20:05 CEST 
hmm creating thumbnail for an mp3 is odd :)

I sent an e-mail upstream.
Comment 2 Gilles Caulier 2013-04-19 20:35:57 CEST 
There is no thumbnails to generate with MP3 Only audio type/mime icon is used from KDE

About video, video thumbnailizer from KDE is used. If this one is not installed, this can be the problem

Comment 3 Angelo Naselli 2013-04-20 17:12:57 CEST 
Gerard could you please check if ffmpegthumbs is installed?

I think requirement is missed in spec file.
Comment 4 Gerard Glaser 2013-04-24 22:16:49 CEST 
Hi Angelo,

yes, it was installed, also mplayerthumbs (used for Dolphin: ffmpegthumbs and only for testing with digikam mplayerthumbs).
I'ved compiled digikam from the sources and all is working fine (I haven't installed new packages as the already installed as dev-paket).
Comment 5 Gerard Glaser 2013-04-24 22:18:01 CEST 
note on mp3-thumbs... I thought maybe in digikam it is possible to take the thumbs from the ID3v2.4-Tag of covers.
Comment 6 Angelo Naselli 2013-04-24 23:21:44 CEST 
Sorry Gerard, i haven't got it... you mean it works if you rebuild all but not using the release packages?
Comment 7 Gerard Glaser 2013-04-25 07:06:24 CEST 
yes angelo, I've tested a own rebuild. But I will install your build next weekend again for testing.
