Your guess is correct; the distribution is Kubuntu 16.04 LTS. Thanks for the hint about the packaging bug. kdegraphics-thumbnailers is affected too. I filed two bugs in Launchpad. ffmpegthumbs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpegthumbs/+bug/1574037 kdegraphics-thumbnailers: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdegraphics-thumbnailers/+bug/1574049 Until the packages are fixed there is a workaround (I took it from kubuntuforums.net). This command will link all the files from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/ to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1505014 Title: dolphin doesn't load video thumbnail services To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dolphin/+bug/1505014/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
