[KPhotoAlbum] Unable to play video under Ubuntu/Feisty

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

I'm really not sure what is needed, from my site of things, I ask for a kpart, 
so yes it seems that you would need to write that.

No idea what that would take though.

| kpa...
|
| Second question : a small program comes with totem, which is called
| "totem-video-thumbnailer". For me, the best would be to be able to use. I
| wouldn't be forced to install additional packages. I guess it would also
| help gnome users to use kpa, as there would decrease needed dependencies

| enable kpa to use it? I guess it's again a matter of kde configuration,
| right?
|
| Thanks a lot.
