[SOLVED] [Q] Dolphin video thumbs no show

09 May 2023, 13:58:20

Trinity TDE 14.1.0-1
Linux kernel 6.3.1
KDE frameworks 5.105.0
Qt 5.15.9
Dolphin 23.04.0-3
ffmpegthumbs 23.0.4-1

WD 4TB USB mecha drive connected onto an USB 3.0 female thru an microUSB 3.0 cable
With an ASRock main system whose APU's and RAM's are AMD APU R4750G and 48GB DDR4

But vidoes on that WD USB mecha drive aren't being thumbnailed at all

Through my own experience with many KDE auxilliary components, reason why i parted from many of them despite them being very useful compared to the (imo) dumb gtk/gnome stuff, is that they're very finnicky and break constantly, especially when outside the KDE desktop.
Dolphin is probably the worst offender, i used to before struggle to put media sorting stuff nicely, only for it to break a couple updates later, it broke it's "relationship" with ffmpegthumbs, mediainfo and even with qtwebkit slightly (like kde frameworks usually do, they also affected Falkon recently a little bit), i had to file bug reports and only got fixed partially etc.

And yeah i know Trinity is port of KDE3.5 but they are abstractizing the old libraries thru gtk and qt5.

You will need to use a real media manager (like xnviewmp) or a file manager with standalone ffmpegthumbs (i use doublecmd-qt5)

PS. if you have the time file a report anyway, maybe you will deal better with them, still you'll need to respect their template thing and whatnot https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?component=view-engine%3A%20icons%20mode&order=changeddate%20DESC%2C

Good morning,
Currently I still have the video thumbnails in Dolphin on Artix OpenRC XFCE.

My personal recipe for adding Dolphin to Artix xfce:

Code: [Select]

sudo pacman -S ark dolphin kdegraphics-thumbnailers kimageformats oxygen-icons qt5-imageformats

N.B. I am using oxygen icons and Adwaita themes in xfce4-settings-manager

I add kim4 (AUR) which is quite old, but very practical :

Code: [Select]

yay kim4
1 aur/kim4 0.9.8-2 (+3 0.00) (Installé)
    Kde Image Menu to compress, resize, convert, rename and much more
