    No video & pdf files preview in Dolphin 15.12.3

    Hi folks,
    I upgraded to Kubuntu 16.04 via Muon updater from Kubuntu 15.10.

    I had an issue with the same topic with 15.10 as well as I resolved it via a workaround as posted in this thread

    https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...-Files-Preview

    Anyways, now Dolphin 15.12.3 provides me an option to enable preview for PDF & Video files in the Settings options and I have enabled them but in the file manager, there are no previews for PDF & Video files.

    As far as I know, I have all the required plugins installed. Any ideas on why the previews are not working in Dolphin?

      Packaging bug

      Looking packages (64 bit):

      - kio-extras: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/kio-extras
      - ffmpegthumbs: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/ffmpegthumbs
      - kdegraphics-thumbnailers: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/kd...s-thumbnailers


      Ubuntu is using thumbnail plugin path (kio-extras): /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/
      BUT
      the ffmpegthumbs & kdegraphics-thumbnailers are using path: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/

      FIX

      A Kubuntu user should file a bug report at Launchpad:
      - Please add ffmpegthums.install and kdegraphics-thumbnailers.install files with correct thumbnailer plugin paths.

      The kio-extras.install has:
      Code:
      usr/lib/*/qt5

      A workaround

      Copy / link the (64bit):

      /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/ffmpegthumbs.so
      to
      /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins//ffmpegthumbs.so

      and

      /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/gsthumbnail.so
      /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/rawthumbnail.so
      to
      /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/gsthumbnail.so
      /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/rawthumbnail.so


      32 bit:

      /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/plugins/ffmpegthumbs.so
      to
      /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/ffmpegthumbs.so

      and

      /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/plugins/gsthumbnail.so
      /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/plugins/rawthumbnail.so
      to
      /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/gsthumbnail.so
      /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/rawthumbnail.so

            I can't even get it to show up as an option. My workaround is to use Nemo and forget Dolphin.
