Hej Albert,

the thumbnailer KIO slave is more or less about creating thumbnails of general files. We need to take a screenshot of a specific frame inside a video here, so we can't use the general framework. I just picked the ffmpegthumbnailer since it has a simply API and seems to be shipped by all distributions. We can add an abstraction layer later on of course if somebody wants to use another thumbnailer (or better say frameshot taker)

> In the old implementation the Phonon::VideoWidget::snapshot() method was used to create the first-frame (poster) images for a movie, however the Phonon API and the backends (gstreamer and vlc) provide no reliable way to take the snapshot of the first frame. For this reason this patch adds an additional option to use the libffmpegthumbnailer library to take the snapshot of the first frame.
