It's not a crash - it just doesn't work. The workaround is to use totem-video-thumbnailer file://$PWD/imgp1234.avi $PWD/out.png euck :/
it uses gnome-vfs URI's. What you see is an assert, not a crash, saying the URI provided is not in a format that gstreamer can understand. This is not realy a bug but should be filed upstream if you would like to see it fixed.
Fair enough, have done: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172030 I do think this *is* a bug though, because a command-line tool should be usable as if it were any other command-line tool - without any special syntax. If the thumbnailer were a library function, then fair enough, but it isn't.
Fixed upstream.
