Description Rafael 2009-04-02 20:38:35 UTC

Version:           1.2.1 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-11-generic

In KDE 3.5 we can previsualize video files thanks to arts libs.
This is a lost function in KDE 4, a regression, so I request support for video files previsualization for Dolphin and Konqueror in KDE 4.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 162024 ***

@FiNeX: I'm not sure whether this is a duplicate of bug 162024. Bug 162024 talks about video previews in the Information Panel (-> play video etc.) and my impression was that this bug report just talks about video thumbnails in the view.

@Rafael: Could you please let us know whether you meant having a "mini video player" inside the Information Panel or whether you just wanted to have video thumbnails in the view? If it is video thumbnails in the view: This is out of scope of Dolphin or Konqueror itself. A thumbnail plugin requires to be written (or ported from KDE3 to KDE4) and Dolphin/Konqueror will show the thumbnails automatically then.

Comment 3 FiNeX 2009-04-03 11:52:04 UTC

@Peter: you could be right :-)

Comment 4 Rafael 2009-04-05 16:03:48 UTC

I mean having video thumbnails in the view, not mini video player in information panel.
I think this is something very wanted by users.
Thanks.

Comment 5 Peter Penz 2009-04-05 19:30:26 UTC

Thanks for the update Rafael. In this case this is out of scope of Dolphin/Konqueror, as a video thumbnail plugin must be provided.

@FiNeX: Should we reassign this to Dragon player?

Comment 6 FiNeX 2009-04-05 20:35:26 UTC

@Peter: yes, it is the default KDE video player. I'll change it now.

Comment 7 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2009-08-23 02:32:39 UTC

Rafael, can you upgrade to 4.3.0 and enable video preview in konqueror/dolphin settings? I'm pretty sure mplayerthumb does what you want.

Comment 8 Martin Sandsmark 2009-12-01 05:23:37 UTC

This is fixed by mplayerthumbs in kdemultimedia, closing.
