Bug Description

When I install ffmpegthumbs from Kubuntu repository (version 15.08.2-0ubuntu1) video thumbnails are not displayed. I get the same result when I tried to compile from source (master branch). But it works fine when I checkout frameworks branch...

https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=ffmpegthumbs.git&a=shortlog&h=c06602ff79ac5e3eb94cef2c680135caa1a3c53c

git clone git://anongit.kde.org/ffmpegthumbs.git
cd ffmpegthumbs
git checkout origin/frameworks -b frameworks
mkdir myBuild
cd myBuild
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
make -j 8
sudo make install

This is an upstream bug in KDE Applications 15.08. Dolphin was ported to KF5 with KDE Applications 15.08. ffmpegthumbs was ported to KF5 with KDE Applications 15.12. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351894#c3.
This bug is fixed with KDE Applications 15.12 released with xenial excepted for a mismatch in the path used by Dolphin and ffmpegthumbs for plugins: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpegthumbs/+bug/1574037
