You know how totem-xine is responsible for the video thumbnailing you see in Nautilus? It's rather slow and it can't handle h264 well (or at all), but this is all xine-lib's fault. MPlayer is known to be very quick, but no thumbnailing facility uses it in Gnome. So, I wrote a thumbnailer script that uses MPlayer.
I think I've ironed most of the bugs out and I'd like you to try it. After installing the RPM you need to run
Code:
mplayer-video-thumbnailer --install
to modify the necessary GConf keys. This can't be done as an automated systemwide install (yet) because I want it to coexist with totem-xine.
This script is loosely based on
this other project. Mine however is written in Python, and is easy to install and uninstall.
Edit: Whoops. There were some stupid bugs left and I did something stupid too. Anyway, it's fixed. Downloads are
here.
