comment from upstream:

"The videos you're using have keyframes which are too far apart; when the
thumbnailer tries to seek to a position between two keyframes, GStreamer
instead seeks it to the nearest keyframe it can find. If you've got it set to
do a high number of screenshots, this will result in duplicate screenshots. The
solution is to reduce the number of screenshots taken.

More accurate seeking is bug #619788.
"

That's a gstreamer issue so i'm reassigning this report, thanks.

I'm not in advanced video en-/decoding at all, but I think the file I used has 337 keyframes. That should be enough for 21 different screenshots.
Attached is the output of "aviindex -o /home/johan/tmp/3rd\ Rock\ from\ the\ Sun\ -\ 4-14\ -\ Paranoid\ Dick.avi.aviindex.out -i 3rd\ Rock\ from\ the\ Sun\ -\ 4-14\ -\ Paranoid\ Dick.avi -x".
