           Summary: Video thumbnails using ffmpegthumbs stopped working
                    within gocryptfs mounts after updating to KDE
                    frameworks 6.1

SUMMARY

Previously with `ffmpegthumbs` installed, I was able to see thumbnails for all
supported video files on my various disks in Dolphin. However, after I did a
system update today which updated all KDE frameworks related packages to 6.1, I
noticed that the videos within my plasma vault (which is backed by gocryptfs)
are no longer showing thumbnails. Video files on other filesystems are not
affected.

Things I've tried:

- Reboot. No change in behaviour.
- Reinstalling `ffmpegthumbs`. No change in behaviour.
- Create a symlink on a "regular" file system to the video within gocryptfs.
Thumbnail does not show.
- Copy the video within gocryptfs to a "regular" file system. Thumbnail shows
correctly.
- Create a symlink within gocryptfs to a video on a "regular" file system.
Thumbnail shows correctly.
- Launch Dolphin from a terminal. No noteworthy logs.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Prepare a video file, MP4 or anything that's supported.
2. Observe that in a "normal" file system like exfat, ext4, or btrfs, Dolphin
shows the video thumbnail correctly.
3. Create a plasma vault backed by gocryptfs, and copy the video file into it.
4. Observe that Dolphin does not show the thumbnail of this video file.
5. If possible, find a machine that is still on KDE frameworks 6.0. Observe
that this problem does not exist.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
