Does Dolphin display them if Video Previews are enabled? No reproducible here under Mageia 3 with digiKam from git/master (next 4.0.0-beta3) There is no video thumbnailer in digiKam. digiKam just delegate to KDE thumbnailer to task to generate thumbnails from video files. Check your system installation/settings, and respond to comment #1 please... Gilles Caulier Note : under Mageia3 this package is installed : ffmpegthumbs - Video thumbnail generator for KDE4 file managers FFmpegThumbs is a video thumbnails implementation for KDE4 based on FFmpegThumbnailer. This thumbnailer uses FFmpeg to decode frames from the video files, so supported video formats depend on the configuration flags of ffmpeg. This thumbnailer was designed to be as fast and lightweight as possible. Gilles Caulier Fedora 20 Gnome, digikam 4.0.0-beta2 - My videos now have thumbnails except for some AVI files (mjpeg inside) that were created by a very old canon camera. Ffmpegthumbnailer also does not create thumbnails for these files although they play perfectly on my system so there must be a codec for them. Looks like my problem was not system wide, but just a few files of a particular type. I've been playing around with ffmpeg to see if I can convert these files but so far now joy. Mencoder does convert them, but I still can't get ffmpegthumbnailer to work even with the converted files (to mov format). Original and converted files play perfectly. Jim Shipman Thanks Jim for the update. So can we close this bug? Yes. As far as I'm concerned you can close this (non) bug. Jim Shipman Since digiKam 5.2.0, we use QtAV/FFMPeg framework to render video thumbnails. |
