digiKam delegate movie thumbs to KDELibs, through KIOslave. Sound like mplayerthumbs is missing on your system... This one is used by KDE. There is also tool named mplayerthumbconfig to setup video thumbs processing I also use Mageia 1: [root@localhost digikam (master)]# urpmi mplayerthumbs $MIRRORLIST: media/core/updates/mplayerthumbs-4.6.5-0.1.mga1.i586.rpm installation de mplayerthumbs-4.6.5-0.1.mga1.i586.rpm depuis /var/cache/urpmi/rpms Préparation ... ######################################################################################################### 1/1: mplayerthumbs ######################################################################################################### [root@localhost digikam (master)]# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.38.8-desktop-9.mga #1 SMP Tue Dec 20 10:07:45 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Gilles Caulier
1. don't use mplayerthumbs that was a workaround for kde <= 4.4 now this is gstreamer with ffmpegthumb wich creates thumbnails for kde 2. i check all plugins are installed then i think digikam is well installed i repeat there is no pb with dolphin; thumbnails are well created. you see them in dolphin then i reopen the bug report
(In reply to comment #1) > digiKam delegate movie thumbs to KDELibs, through KIOslave. what kio slave (what packet) ? i will check if the kioslave packet is installed
definitively no. It's not a problem of digiKam. It don't know video thumb processing and delegate all to KDE.though KIOSlave mechanism. digiKam pass url of file, and KDE generate thumbnails autotmatically, for all non image file types. Something is missing on your system, for KDE thumbs processing (or something is not configured properly. I don't know how Dolphin play with video... Report this problem to Mageia team Gilles Caulier
Note : in your screenshot, you see the default icon type mime for video, processed by KDE kio-slave. It provide this default icon because it don't find right delegate application to process video thumbs... Gilles Caulier
in gwenview we see movie thumbnail
Gilles i installed mplayerthumbs, but that did not change digikam behavior. Dolphin and gwenview show video thumbnails correctly, so what are we missing?

(In reply to comment #7) > Gilles i installed mplayerthumbs, but that did not change digikam behavior. mplayerthumbs is no longer used with kde this is by default ffmpegthumb which is used by dolphin

digiKam 5.4.0 bundles will use QtAV framework instead Qt5Multimedia to thumb and play video. The Slideshow tool will also support video as well. QtAV use ffmpeg codecs. It's multi-platform and will always available in OSX, Windows and Linux bundles that digiKam team provide. For Linux packagers, you will need to turn on video support at compilation time and solve QtAV dependencies...
