Also deleting or renaming the file mentioned in error from a terminal.

i.e.

sys:1: Warning: g_object_set: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
totem-video-thumbnailer couldn't open file 'file:///home/bruce/New%20Project.ogv'

rm -rf "/home/bruce/New Project.ogv"

or

mv "/home/bruce/New Project.ogv" "/home/bruce/NewName.ogv"

Then start nautilus or gnome-shell etc again without error

I fix it by moving Extensions in a temporary folder 

sudo mv /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions /tmp

After that try a relaunch of Nautilus and replace extension one by one in the Extension folder

    Moving to /tmp could be dangerous.
