STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Point gwenview to a directory with video files

OBSERVED RESULT
No thumbs are created, error `kf.service.services: KServiceTypeTrader: serviceType "ThumbCreator" not found` displayed on command line twice for every encountered video file.

EXPECTED RESULT
Thumbs are being created/displayed (works for native version of gwenview).

KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0 (according to gwenview snap)
