digiKam plays vob file

Example file with vob extension

When we had old films digitized we got them back on dvds with .vob extension.
I would like to be able to geotag and browse these films in digikam without changing the format of the films. Is it therefore possible to add the .vob extension to the formats digikam can handle ?
Plays nicely in vlc.

I could change the format but I would like to be able to view and play the files in their original formats.

digiKam plays vob file

DigiKam-5.4.0 uses QtAV to play video files and supports VOB files. Simply add VOB as Mime type. See the screenshot.

Thanks

I added vob as MIME type and it works perfectly, as far as I uderstand it will also be included as default in the future. Superb, and thanks again.
