Description Alexey Fisher 2007-02-22 10:40:32 UTC

Version:           0.9.0 (using KDE 3.5.6, Gentoo)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.21-rc1

JVC GZ-MC500E video & photo camera 
1) use *.mod suffix instead of *.mpeg for video and it's will be not reconised with digikam improt (without reconfiguring it), it can't thubnail the video. I think it will be great to add this issue to the mainstream and rename suffix on inport. If suffix is renamed there is no problem with thubnails.

2) import dialog will reconise mgr_data and prg_mgr like row-image format. But it is not.

May be it will be good enath to blacklist this location "sd_video/mgr_info" or make it configurable.

Here ist the list output of cammera:

Alexey,

This problem occur from KDE thumnail generator which have not a codec to handle this video format by default.

Installing right codec (Win32 port avaialble in non-free repositories) must solve this problem.

There is no video codec in digiKam. Nothing can be changed here...

digiKam 5.4.0 bundles will use QtAV framework instead Qt5Multimedia to thumb
and play video. The Slideshow tool will also support video as well.

QtAV use ffmpeg codecs. It's multi-platform and will always available in
OSX, Windows and Linux bundles that digiKam team provide.

For Linux packagers, you will need to turn on video support at compilation time
and solve QtAV dependencies...

... is based on pre-release of AppImage 64 bits Linux bundle, just recompiled
and post to GDrive for testing.
