Bug Description

I downloaded this from the browser

http://trailers.divx.com/divx_prod/profiles/Helicopter_DivXHT_ASP.divx

and then opened it with gallery when offered to on download completion. I can see a thumbnail in the "Events" screen, but when I press it, a spinner starts looping while trying to obtain a thumbnail for the full screen and does not ever stop. If you press the play button while you see the spinner, mediaplayer-app plays the video.

So, the bug is gallery-app not obtaining a thumbnail in the video-preview screen, where the thumbnail fills the display. Finally

/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/thumbnailer/vs-thumb Videos/Helicopter_DivXHT_ASP.divx helicopter.jpg

produces a valid jpeg file.

Reproduced in mako, vivid-proposed image 127

This bug was fixed in the package gallery-app - 0.0.67+15.04.20150409-0ubuntu1

---------------
gallery-app (0.0.67+15.04.20150409-0ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  [ Arthur Mello ]
  * Change thumbnail's image provider header for videos on
    SingleMediaViewer (LP: #1430357)
  * Convert video exposure time from UTC to local time when the event
    header for the video is created. The video exposure time will still
    be stored using UTC in the DB (LP: #1433739)

  * New rebuild forced.

gallery-app (0.0.67+15.04.20150330~rtm-0ubuntu1) 14.09; urgency=medium

  [ Arthur Mello ]
  * Add the "at" param to the calls of thumbnailer image provider to
    make sure the images will be updated after the user edit them

  * New rebuild forced.

Can't mark this as fix released yet as the click still needs to be uploaded to the store and validated by QA. Only the debs landed.
