Does anyone know what the issue with the thumbnail is and how it can be fixed?

If a new file was transcoded and uploaded over the current version would that fix it?

• brooke subscribed.May 26 2017, 6:50 PM

@Richard_Nevell_WMUK the file appears to have been trimmed or generated in a strange way: its timestamps start at ~201 seconds in, which confuses the heck out of Firefox, ffmpeg, etc. As a result, when ffmpeg skips through what it thinks is half the file, there's no video frames left to decode, and no thumbnail can be generated.

If a corrected file is uploaded over it, the new file should start generating thumbnails correctly.

You can easily reproduce the problem in VLC as well. Just open the file (it will say duration 4:47 minutes:seconds). Seek halfway and the file stops playing (Because there's only a minute and a half or so of video). The file was created by ffmpeg, or a tool making use of ffmpeg (note the Lavf), and for some reason it didn't write the right timecodes, or the right duration.)

I can confirm that uploading a corrected file solved the generation.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll see what can be done about uploading a new version of the file.
