So, from what I understand, this is ultimately a downstream issue: if a package
is missing that prevents the video from running, the video just doesn't show up
/ loads endlessly. Particularly problematic for example if you use only
flatpaks for videos and don't actually have codecs installed system wide.
Perhaps we could have a cleaner solution by showing a message after a given
timeout?
Like: after 15 seconds, if the video is not loaded, show a Label saying "The
preview took too long to run. [ ? ]", with the [ ? ] being a
ContextualHelpButton saying something like "Your system might be missing
essential packages needed to show this preview. Please check with your
distribution."
Then we'd have the necessary software mentioned in
https://community.kde.org/Distributions/Packaging_Recommendations, and point
distros to that to fix things for their users.
