I am trying to figure out why it isn't working for 2.4.0 (to be released next week) but may not have time until 2.5.0. -Ananta video thumb computation is delegate to KDE thumb kioslave. Under Linux, mplayerthumbs is used. Under windows, no idea... Gilles Caulier Nice to know that new version is coming soon. Hopefully someone figures out how AVCHD thumbs could be displayed also in Windows. There doesn't seem to be too many commercial video supporting DAM software on the market. So being able to display mts/m2ts thumbs in digikam would be super cool. Perhaps under windows VLC is used to display video thumbs. You can see that phonon vlc is an in-deep depency for KDE Gilles Have you noticed a free software called JPhotoTagger? It might be able to create thumbs for video files also. I haven't had time or expertise to test it, but thought I would point it out for you, if information provided could be for any help for you. MPlayer mentioned isn't MS Media Player. ;) http://www.jphototagger.org/usr/tn_script_mplayer_01.html Just installed DigiKam 2.5.0 under Windows 7 (64 bit Home Premium). Double clicking .m2ts files opens the video file inside DigiKam (DK) but widens the DK window to my another monitor. The video is also so big, that it goes partly over the screen edge. Hopefully you can unlock/implement XMP sidecar support for video files and all other file types user wants to. Embedding metadata only inside DK database seems very risky at the moment. ;) To Anthiah, comment #6 : XMP sidecar support is implemented since a while in digiKam and Exiv2. Gilles Caulier I move this file to KDELibs, as digiKam do not have video thumbnailer, and all is delegate to KDE thumb kioslave. Under linux and OSX, this work as expected when 3rd party components are installed to handle video files. Under Windows, i don't have any idea how video files are managed in this case... Please re-assign to right component/section if necessary Gilles Caulier I see no reason why the ffmpeg based thumbnailer shouldn't work on Windows. hm, the only reason might be that we might have to link against ffmpeg (which requires binaries/builds). In case the thumbnail uses commandline tools, it should work. Also a solution based on mplayer should work (we had an example phonon backend iirc). Hello, I can confirm the same problem with the latest available binary for Windows http://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/digiKam-installer-4.12.0-win32.exe Thumbnails are generated for pictures, but not for videos (tested with several formats). Tested on Windows 10. Related forum question https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-users/2015-August/021340.html Any workaround welcome, and do not hesitate to ask for tests. kdemultimedia is no longer maintained.
