That's not good.

Oddly, on mine, the thumbnails are not working. But, the video works like a 
charm.

So, I am guessing that Konqueror uses Kaffeine to watch the video. Am I 
correct?

Possibly. Do you have KMplayer installed? When I play a video, Digikam embed 
KMplayer, not Kaffeine, even though Kaffeine is the default video player on 
my computer. If you don't have KMplayer installed, I would try installing it 
and see if that fixes your problem. If it doesn't, check to make sure 
KMplayer is working correctly.

I'm running Feisty too.
