How did you generate thumbnails ? Through maintenance tool ? If yes, i
fixed a crash problem into next 4.0.0, but ist's relevant for all
thumbnails type, not only video files.

If this only touch video format, thumbnail are generated by
KDE::Phonon interface which delegate video support to 3rd party
component, as GStreamer. So problem can be relevant of this part.
