konqueror video preview - only about half the thumbnails load

[babokd]

hi guys, newb here, any help would be much appreciated

i'm trying to get videos to preview in konqueror
however, only about half the videos actually display a preview icon
each time i reopen the folder, only the same videos display a preview in the icon
some of the others that do not display a preview icon, do have preview images in the popup when i mouse over the icon

any ideas on why this might be happening? if it makes any difference, the files are on an ntfs drive.

thanks!

Is it a specific type of video (e.g. mpeg, avi, wmv, etc) that works and another specific type that doesn't? If so, you may have a problem with the default for that format. Look at "configure Konqueror">"File Associations">video.

no, that doesn't seem to be the case
the same file extension sometimes shows a preview, sometimes does not. It's not just one specific extension either, all extensions seem to be affected.
Every time i open the folder, the same files have previews (about the first 50). The same files do not have previews (every file after the first 50).

now i notice that different files have previews, depending on how they are sorted...any ideas? it's not easy navigating my porn collection without previews! =D

If, in fact you only get previews on the first fifty images or so, I would suspect that this is some kind of a memory problem, i.e. maybe you're runnning out after n = 50 thumbnails. Suppose, you move 65 files to a subdirectory. does the same thing happen? 100?, 200? i.e. If all of a smaller directory is in memory at once, then you may get more thumbnails in a smaller directory.
