That could be unrelated to KMPlayer though - not sure (come to think of it, I took a screenshot of KMPlayer while it was running so maybe the thumbnailer daemon is related to this instead).
I think you should report this as thumbnailer bug. Whatever kmplayer may do wrongly, if this process consumes 100 CPU after closing kmplayer, then this process is hanging somewhere.
I've just checked 'France BFM TV' and it keeps on playing for me. After skipping to the next link, which fails for me too, it goes to the next one and on until 'Labelle TV'. Every step takes about two seconds, probably a dead link or unsupported format. Judging your description, it seems gstreamer crashes on startup. Cause I can't tell, but may be related to the thumnailer bug.
That may also explain kmplayer frozen for a minute or so. The gstreamer process may have been spamming kmplayer with lots of output.
If you want to look at what gstreamer outputs for kmplayer, start kmplayer from the XTerminal application as 'run-standalone /opt/kmplayer/bin/kmplayer'. Most of the output is echo'ed in the terminal.
