video problems

quickk
Hi everyone,

   I've been having a lot of trouble getting digikam to display videos.  As instructed, I used kcontrol to set the avi file associations so that vlc is used.  I can see the videos fine with konqueror.  I can view the videos from digikam if I right click on the file and select "open with->vlc" (or media player).  However, when I just click on the file, digikam says that "no media player is available".  

I just found out that selecting "configure digikam->albums" and setting the thumbnail click action to "start image editor" enables digikam to view the video.  

I'd rather have the embedded preview--why does this not work?
