Description Bernhard 2010-05-09 10:55:01 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I read several bugreports before but there is still this problem:
The digikam embedded video viewer still shows no video but sound.
I changed all the codecs of the installed Players (xine,gxine,kaffeine ...) all of them work fine.
Only Digikam plays no embedded videos.
I changed systemsettings, created avi file association with mplayer_part as embedded viewer.

Which embedded player is used by digikam and how to change the settings of it?
It would be fine to change at least the embedded video codecs/players in digikam itself.

Install Phonon/Xine interface from KDE4 packages.

Comment 5 Myriam Schweingruber 2013-04-13 06:22:08 UTC 
Closing for lack of feedback. Please feel free to reopen if you can reproduce this with KDE 4.10.2 or later.
Comment 6 caulier.gilles 2018-08-21 08:56:54 UTC 
Not reproducible since digiKam use QtAv framework + ffmpeg to handle video files.
