My notes say either "mplayerthumbs-trinity" (on 14.2 - which I use now) or "ibarts1-xine-trinity" (earlier version). For PDF preview "kpdf" should be sufficient. Please keep in mind that libpoppler has a bug that it will not show some not-encrypted pdfs.

No, for PDF thumbs we need to install tdegraphics-tdefile-plugins-trinity:

$ dpkg-query -S gsthumbnail.desktop
tdegraphics-tdefile-plugins-trinity:
/opt/trinity/share/services/gsthumbnail.desktop

And mplayerthumbs-trinity is better seems than libarts1-xine-trinity for
Video due to I have not seen with its infinite hangs still.

But tdemultimedia-trinity is dependent from libarts1-xine-trinity still,
so it is installed in most cases.

Ah, you are right, "tdegraphics-tdefile-plugins-trinity" is installed here, too. I remember that xine stopped working on devuan some years ago, but I never figured out why.

In fact the Video-thumbs from libarts1-xine-trinity fine work on Debian 7 and 8.

From Debian 9 I have both very interested and suspicious behavior, that is the Video-thumbs fine work on 14.0.13, that I have still left on my LiveDisks and don't work on 14.1.1 on one installed system where it crashes seems after a pair of seconds.

Big AVI-files on Debian 9 are not always shown but small MP4 are shown always, and with Xine-1.2.6.

And detected the problem I seems from Debian 10, where I had had locks of the USB-storage with MP4 files and the Kaffeine locks after several playing such MP4-files. The situation with Debian 10 and more I am going to clear after adaptation all my patches to 14.1.3, since the repositories metadata was just updated.

On Debian 10 with Xine-1.2.9 the thumbs work fine.

And after Debian 11 with Xine-1.2.13 we have such problems on any Video-file, that is I have tested on AVI and MP4, and earlier on OGM.
