Looks like a buglet in kdemultimedia-extras.

Possibly, but it looks like all versions of kdemultimedia-extras now have:

The actual videothumbnail library appears to have moved to something
called kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree, which seems to be a recent
development and I can't find on any yum repo.
The closest I've found is
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2575176/com/kdemultimedia-nonfree-3.5.1-0.lvn.1.rh9.kde.i386.rpm.html
which lists:
libarts_mpeglib-0.3.0.so.0
libarts_splay.so.0
libarts_xine.so
libkrecexport_mp3.so
libmpeg-0.3.0.so
libyafcore.so
libyafxplayer.so
videothumbnail.so
kdemultimedia-nonfree
Incidentally, just copying videothumbnail.so from another distro to
/usr/lib/kde3 doesn't fix it. Is there some other file that's needed?
I notice that kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree is now in the Livna repo for
FC5, and restores the Video Preview feature correctly.
I guess it's just an FC4 bug,
Greg
