Title:
  ffmpegthumbs 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1 uses the wrong path for plugin
  libraries

Status in ffmpegthumbs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in ffmpegthumbs source package in Xenial:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  ffmpegthumbs 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1 puts ffmpegthumbs.so under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/ (see http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/ffmpegthumbs/filelist for the newest package file listing).
  Dolphin looks for plugins under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/ (see http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/dolphin/filelist for the newest package file listing).
  Because of the discrepancy between the two pathes Dolphin is unable to invoke ffmpegthumbs.

  This can be reproduced with the Kubuntu 16.04 LTS live image. After
  installing ffmpegthumbs and activating it under the Dolphin
  preferences no thumbnails are generated for videos.

  There is a workaround until the package is fixed. This command will
  link all the files from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/ to
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/:

  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
  gnu/qt5/plugins/

  The installation routine of the package should be fixed to unpack
  ffmpegthumbs.so under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/.
