Correct, video/* isn't supported. In any case, how can you be sure that this application will support *ALL* video codecs?

i cannot - this was used in 4.x version, i've added a few specific ones validated they work. will adjust the review, and remove the /* completely...

Unless I'm wrong, video/* didn't work in kdelibs4 either.

(IIRC it worked for ServiceMenus, but not for application desktop files, which have to follow the Desktop Entry Spec).

maybe it *shouldn't* work with 4.x - but i do have thumbs in 4.x dolphin with such a desktop file ;-)
but then http://api.kde.org/frameworks-api/frameworks5-apidocs/kio/html/classThumbCreator.html has it still wrong (that's why i havent removed video/* completely):
"Note that you can supply a comma-separated list of mimetypes to the MimeTypes entry, naming all mimetypes your ThumbCreator supports. You can also use simple wildcards, like "text/*"."

ah it's a ThumbCreator, not an app, I see.

kio/src/widgets/previewjob.cpp still supports video/*, see the variable "groupMimeType" in there. So it should work. You can debug it there if it doesn't :-)

AFAIK there aren't any video codecs or muxes that ffmpeg doesn't support (especially not any with a known mimetype), so IMHO video/* should stay.

simple port to KF5.
added Alex if he maybe has an idea why video/* doesn't seem to work.

Builds; thumbnails appear in Dolphin.
