Wish: replace mplayerthumbs with kffmpegthumbnailer

[Andreas Scherf]

Hello,
we talked about this topic and peter penz (dolphin) told me that this is 
a packaging thing. Adter that i asked in the kubuntu devel list. 
I'm very happy with the kffmpegthumbnailer at the moment. Its really fast and 
i think it could be a nice option for kde as well. It boosts large video  
thumbnail collections, where mplayer thumbs are very slow.
If there is a need i could try to integrate this thumbnailer into trunk in the 
next week. Would it be better to replace mplayer thumbnailing or
having 2 video thumbnailer side by side?

Greetings
Andreas
