--- Comment #9 from Evert Vorster <evert.vorster at yandex.com> ---
I have QT5 thumbnailer installed. 

How else would I get the thumbnails in the first place?

A little bit of history... 
DigiKam 4.xx started failing on thumbnails for video recently, and so I
installed DigiKam 5.0.0.
I re-built my entire data base's thumbnails, and it took many hours. 
Everything looked to be fine. 

Then I imported from two sources at once, my wife's phone and an SD card
reader. 
One of the video thumbnails is incorrect in DigiKam only, and shows correct on
Dolphin. (5)
Refreshing the album does not fix the thumbnail in DigiKam.

Using the maintenance tools also does not delete the cached thumbnail. 

I do not want to delete ALL my thumbnails again, since it will take a very long
tie to re-create all of them. It should be easy to delete a thumbnail and let
DigiKam re-create it as if it is a new file.

Heeeey, I just found an easy workaround. 
I navigated to the directory in a console, and just touched the file with bad
thumbnail. 
DigiKam then re-created the thumbnail, and got it right this time. 
:)
