can not preview thumbnail of media file in nautilus
Binary package hint: nautilus
Just few days ago, I found some .rmvb media files could not be previewed in nautilus, but some could, then I upgrade the Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04, the problem persists.
I ever tried to remove ~/.thumbnails and then re-open nautilus to re-create the thumbnails, but after that, all the .rmvb media files can not be previewed.
Is there any solution for it? thanks.
