It should get started at every boot from now on. - -Generating Thumbnails -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Rygel reuses thumbnails that were generated by external software such as -nautilus. However, it can also request creation of thumbnails by itself. - -To enable this feature, you have to install tumbler: - - sudo apt-get install tumbler - -Since tumbler is a D-Bus service, rygel has to have access to a D-Bus session -bus. To accomplish this you need to copy the included D-Bus wrapper script -"wrap-dbus" somewhere and modify the upstart script to call a wrapped rygel: - - exec /usr/local/bin/wrap-dbus rygel - -wrap-dbus makes sure that a session bus is running and will re-use an existing -bus it spawned itself. - -After (re-) starting rygel, it should start requesting thumbnail generation -for files that don't have thumbnails. If you don't see them in your client -right away, you might have to refresh the view. - -Note: For Rygel versions below 0.15.1, you have to create ~/.thumbnails/normal -as well, otherwise Rygel thinks there are no thumbnails available as it is not -aware that tumbler will generate this directory. |
