Public bug reported:
ffmpegthumbs 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1 puts ffmpegthumbs.so under
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/ (see
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/ffmpegthumbs/filelist for the newest
package file listing).
Dolphin looks for plugins under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/ (see
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/dolphin/filelist for the newest package
file listing).
Because of the discrepancy between the two pathes Dolphin is unable to invoke
ffmpegthumbs.
This can be reproduced with the Kubuntu 16.04 LTS live image. After
installing ffmpegthumbs and activating it under the Dolphin preferences
no thumbnails are generated for videos.
There is a workaround until the package is fixed. This command will link
all the files from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/ to /usr/lib/x86_64
-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/qt5/plugins/
The installation routine of the package should be fixed to unpack
ffmpegthumbs.so under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/.
