Hello

 

I'm using Mandriva 2009 KDE 4.

 

Images, text files, pdf etc. get previewed in Dolphin and Konqueror, but not video files.

 

Is there any way to make Dolphin and Konqueror preview video files ?

Hi guys

 

This is how to get video thumbnails to work in dolphin (using Mandriva 2010).

 

- in a terminal, switch to root

su -

 

- install mplayer

urpmi mplayer

 

- install mplayerthumbs

urpmi mplayerthumbs

 

next, you need to configure mplayerthumbs:

- alt + F2

- enter "mplayerthumbsconfig"

- in the General tabs, choose "MPlayer" as backend

 

finally, configure Dolphin

- Settings > Configure Dolphin > General > Preview tab > check "Video Files (MPlayerThumbs)"

 

enjoy! :-)
