mplayerthumbs on current


I can't seem to get mplayerthumbs (thumbnail previews for video files in Dolphin) to work. Anyone else have this problem?

You have to have MPLayer installed as well, to start with. With mplayer present, the thumbnailing should be automagic.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, MPLayer is installed.

Try running "mplayerthumbsconfig" in a X terminal and see what that gives (possible errors from running the command as well as configurable options in the dialog that will appear).
