Description Ferdinand Gassauer 2005-06-19 14:00:42 UTC
Version:           0.7.3-beta2 (using KDE 3.4.89 (>= 20050615), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.4-21.7-smp

Hi!
most digital cameras now allow to record avi files and henc are in the same directory as the pcitures.
IMHO they should be available too on the HTML  page - either with or without picture.

you need to install xine_artsplugin from kdemultimedia; it provides a videothumbnail creator. your distribution might have packaged it under a different name
Comment 2 Ferdinand Gassauer 2005-06-19 20:54:47 UTC
I compield from SVN, and I think its there

-rwxr-xr-x  1 kdesvn users   1494 2005-06-17 16:15 /daten/kdesvn/KDEHEAD/lib/kde3/videothumbnail.la*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 kdesvn users 248309 2005-06-17 16:15 /daten/kdesvn/KDEHEAD/lib/kde3/videothumbnail.so*

but digikam seems not to pick it up.
Comment 3 Renchi Raju 2005-06-19 20:56:24 UTC
the videothumbnail will be affected by the maxsize for file preview setting in kcontrol. see if you are able to see any thumbnails for these files in konqueror.
Comment 4 Ferdinand Gassauer 2005-06-19 21:23:17 UTC
may be this is the problem - even if I set the size to 90MB no thumbnail is displayed in konqueror for a 3 MB avi file.

the process is startet, but nothing happens, no CPU activity no disk activity.
kdesvn    4780  4608  0 21:18 ?        00:00:00 kio_thumbnail [kdeinit] thumbnail /tmp/ksocket-kdesvn/klauncherq6xABa.slave-socket /tmp/ksocket-kdesvn/konquerorIf4Efb.slave-socket

BTW
IMHO it's not so good if the setting for konqueror, where speed matters, are used for digikam and HTML-export, where the feature is needed to generate usefull output.
Comment 5 Renchi Raju 2005-06-19 21:25:59 UTC
afaik, we are not allowed  override the default setting when using the videothumbnail creator. 
Comment 6 Ferdinand Gassauer 2005-06-19 21:38:58 UTC
Do you mid to reopen this bug?
Comment 7 Renchi Raju 2005-06-19 21:58:08 UTC
i can reassign this report to kdelibs. out here the thumbnails are generated fine for video thumbnails both in konqueror and in digikam.
Comment 8 Ferdinand Gassauer 2005-06-19 22:16:00 UTC
yes please
may be it should be mentioned that 2 different settings are needed, (or that the maximum filesize should be overwritable at runtime for apps like HTML-export)
Comment 9 Renchi Raju 2005-06-19 22:26:22 UTC
reassigning to xine_artsplugin. 
Comment 10 Matt Rogers 2008-11-19 23:39:58 UTC
Arts is no longer developed and has been unmaintained for quite some time - more than 2 years. With phonon as the replacement for arts in KDE4, we're closing out all the arts bugs in Bugzilla since there is no chance of them being fixed.

Thanks
