XbmcCover (Video thumbnail plugin)

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

Plugin for KDE file managers (Dolphin and Konqueror) to view movies, with a cover, using the information you have stored Xbmc (.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails/Video/). In a future version, will use "Nepomuk". You need to install Xbmc and get the covers of the movies.

when I'd like to install the app, I don't get a preview (I enable the movie files in dolphin).

Is there any problem with kde 4.10 or xbmc 12?

same here with kde 4.9. I think xbmc changed the way saving thumbnails.

Really great idea; thanks for sharing this.

A note to anyone that was previously using mplayerthumbs or kffmpegthumbnailer: You'll most likely need to empty your thumbnail cache (rm ~/.thumbnails/*) before this works properly. Before I did this, it was only showing the XBMC thumbs in the information pane.

Since this plug-in only works for videos which have thumbnails in XBMC, it'd be nice if it allowed mplayerthumbs/kffmpegthumbnailer to work for those that don't. Other than that, great job!
