            1. Install the following packages: ffmpegthumbs mplayerthumbs kffmpegthumbnailer kio-extras

            2. Restart Dolphin

            3. Settings > Configure Dolphin > General > Behavior > View > Use common properties for all folders, OK

            4. Press the "Preview" button

            • kio-extras did the trick for me, otherwise I couldn't see anything under General > Previews
