Bug ID: 362801
Summary: Waveform thumbnails aren't generating for certain
files, regardless of file type
Product: kdenlive
Version: 16.04.0
Platform: Debian unstable
URL: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B74NKcdHp59cOTVlelFxN
VVJMlU/view?usp=sharing
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Video Display & Export
Assignee: ***@kdenlive.org
Reporter: ***@yandex.com

This affects me on both self-compiled and repository binary:
- MOV (Canon DSLR) and WAV (ZOOM Audio Recorder) files throw errors and do not
generate audio thumbnails. The issue persists even after the WAV file is
converted to MP3 (Using Audacity) and the MOV is converted to an MPEG4 M4V
(Using Handbrake).

- MP4 and MP3 formats DO generate waveform thumbnails as expected, provided
that they're not conversions of the previously mentioned files. However, when a
working MP3 file is converted to WAV, it can no longer generate thumbnails.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Import a MOV from a Canon DSLR or WAV from a ZOOM Audio Recorder

Actual Results:
Program continued working without waveform thumbnails for the project.

Expected Results:
Generated waveform thumbnails.

--- Comment #1 from Benjamin <***@yandex.com> ---
Very strange - it's all good now, but it might be different for new users.

I unchecked 'Use FFMPEG for audio thumbnails (faster)' and all the thumbnails
rendered without a problem. BUT, after re-checking it, I'm no longer having
problems with the FFMPEG based thumbnail generation.
