We need a GDB backtrace to hack. Look below for details :

Exiv2 problem with video files.

See bug #340373 for details...

Comment 4 Adrian Dziubek 2014-12-09 09:14:08 UTC
I tried downgrading exiv2 and libkexiv2, but that didn't help even after I matched one to the other. The workaround I used is to set MIME Type Filter to Image Files.
Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2018-02-28 12:37:50 UTC
With 6.0.0, we have now a FFMpeg low level metadata parser based on libav C API
for video files database registration.

The Exiv2 video support is not used anymore as this code is buggous and nobody
sound motivated in Exiv2 to finalize the code.

The original post for this file must be fixed now and video metadata support
with ffmpeg must be enough to populate database entries.
