I installed Ubuntu 16.04 and installed dolphin (15.12.3) + FFMpegThumbs so that I can see thumbnails of videos but when I went to the previews the box was just blank.

ffmpegthumbs 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1 is buggy and unpacks ffmpegthumbs.so to the wrong location. Until the package is fixed a workaround is to link the files to the correct location:

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

This works on my installation of Kubuntu 16.04 LTS. By the way ffmpegthumbs needs kio-extras to work (should be installed on Kubuntu by default as a dependency of kubuntu-desktop).
