(Solved)kde 4.6 video thumbnails

off220 · 2011-02-03 11:29:53

after upgrade to kde 4.6 I get no video thumbnails in dolphin. I tried ffmpegthumbnailer amd mplayer too. None of them shows thumbnails. I also tried deleting ~/.thumbnails directory with no result..should I wait for another update?

Have you activated video previews on Dolphin?

off220 · 2011-02-03 13:01:10

yep..sure..

Have you installed kffmpegthumbnailer from aur? Works fine here.

Use kdemultimedia-ffmpegthumbs (or kdemultimedia-mplayerthumbs) instead.

kffmpegthumbnailer gives best results.

Actually kdemultimedia-ffmpegthumbs is based on (k)ffmpegthumbnailer. It should give the same results and it's also part of the official kde multimedia module.

I tried both. None of them works. Tried deleting ~/.kde4 ~/.config/kde_related with no luck..

See if that works:
- install kdemultimedia-ffmpegthumbs;
- go to dolphin >> settings >> configure dolphin >> general >> previews - and there check "video files".
For me that was solution.

Doesn't work. What size of files did you specified it settings?

birdflesh · 2011-02-04 07:58:22

When you place the cursor over a video file in dolphin, is there a thumbnail in the tooltip? (Make sure Show tooltips is enabled in Dolpin's General settings)

off220 · 2011-02-04 13:43:46

yes there is a thumbnail. here's my setup http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10404598/2.png

In the "View" Menu, is "Preview" checked? It should be between "Additional Information" and "Show in groups"

off220 · 2011-02-04 22:20:26

yes it is. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10404598/4.png

wasn't aware that this had to be enabled separately and specifically, too

this both worked in dolphin and konqueror

Thanks mits !

kernelOfTruth, you have been here long enough to know our rules (specifically about necrobumping) by now..
