    > kffmpegthumbnailer - KDE-Apps
    > kffmpegthumbnailer - code.google

    kffmpegthumbnailer is a video thumbnailer for kde based on ffmpegthumbnailer. The thumbnailer uses ffmpeg to decode frames from the video files, so supported videoformats depend on the configuration flags of ffmpeg.

    This thumbnailer was designed to be as fast and lightweight as possible.

    High CPU load with the MPlayerThumbs 1.2

    If the MPlayerThumbs is trying to make thumbnails from the partial files there will be problems:

    > MPlayerThumbs 1.2

    doesnt work on growing files by mhogomchungu

    i noticed that mplayer goes crazy when trying to create an image on a growing file.

    how to test it.
    open up konqueror on a download folder and then start downloading a video file using firefox and an infinite mplayer instances will be started slowing down the system to a crawl

    browsing away from the folder and all these instances of mplayer will start disappearing, one at a time
    Workaround:
    Re: doesnt work on growing files by RockMan81

    I'm looking into it, but it seems to be a kdelibs/kdebase problem look the number of kio_thumbnail processes too... it's not mplayerthumbs launching multiple mplayer sessions, it's kde launching multiple mplayerthumbs sessions (each one with about one instance of mplayer).
    As a temporary workaround, try adding "part" to the blacklisted extensions.

    Blacklisting: Alt+F2 and "mplayerthumbsconfig". The configuration window will pop up.

    Description: thumbnail generator for video files on Dolphin and Konqueror
    MPlayerThumbs is a thumbnail generator for all KDE file managers (konqueror, dolphin, ...) It needs mplayer (of course) to generate thumbnails, and it contains no linking to any library, so in a x86_64 system you can freely use the 32bit mplayer binary with win32codecs by configuring the application launching the mplayerthumbsconfig helper application.

    A PPA repository (Intrepid Ibex) for the mplayerthumbs > Helper applications.

    started a topic Video Previews

    Video Previews

    KDE 3.5

    There are (repositories):

    libarts1-xine; aRts plugin enabling xine support
    This package contains aRts' xine plugin, allowing the use of the xine
    multimedia engine though aRts.
    mplayerthumbs; thumbnail generator for video files on Konqueror
    MPlayerThumbs is a thumbnail generator for video files on
    Konqueror. Unlike the original konqueror plugin (libarts1-xine),
    it depends on neither xine nor arts, instead it uses only
    mplayer. You can take advantage of this on x86_64 systems,
    where you can use a 32bit mplayer to load win32codecs.

    Homepage: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=41180
    You may also need to enable: Konqueror > Settings > Configure Konqueror > Previews & Meta-Data (allow previews)


    KDE 4

    For KDE 4 there is (not in the repositories - maybe soon ?)

    KDE-APPS.org > MPlayerThumbs
    Version: 1.0

    Description:
    MPlayerThumbs is a video thumbnail generator for KDE file managers (Konqueror, Dolphin, ...) , now available also for KDE 4.
    It needs mplayer (of course) to generate thumbnails, and it contains no linking to any library, so in a x86_64 system you can freely use the 32bit mplayer binary with win32codecs by configuring the application launching the mplayerthumbsconfig helper application.
    It catches a random frame from 15% to 70%, checking also how contrasted is the image, and dropping bad frames.

    Changelog:
    2008-06-20 MPlayerThumbs 1.0
    * First stable release
    * Porting to KDE 4
    * Refactoring code, for more stability and speed
    * Also KDE 4 adds for us a free feature, random thumbnail generation on
    the preview on the information toolbar on each mouseover Wink
