--- Comment #11 from Harald Sitter <sitter at kde.org> ---
Moving to pgst then, though I'm not sure that is even maintained.

The KIO->phonon streaming interface isn't ideal but practically it should and
does work for me with VLC. In fact, without knowing why pgst falls on the face
I don't see how to improve the streaming interface in a fashion that would help
the backend fix streaming and also it'd need someone to write the code in the
backend.

There could be an argument made that dolphin previews of non-local urls should
be changed to run through kio-fuse thereby avoiding the bespoke streaming code
entirely and likely fixing whatever is wrong with the backend for the purposes
of this feature.
