DigiKam does not write a tag list in video files and does not read them. Exiv2 is not stable enough for video files to read metadata. We use FFmpeg to read metadata from video files written by camera devices. For video files you have to use sidecars. Maik Another question, which program wrote the "XMP-digiKam:TagsList" in the video? Can you provide a test video? Maik Created attachment 127693 [details]
Example video with TagsList
I added the tags with exiftool, with this command: exiftool '-XMP-digiKam:TagsList=Subjects/Animals/Fish, Categories/Underwater, Places/Asia/Philippines' '-XMP-exif:DateTimeOriginal=2020:01:19 17:42:19+08:00' '-XMP-tiff:Artist=xyz' '-XMP-tiff:Copyright=Copyright © 2020 xyz, all rights reserved.' file_example_MP4_480_1_5MG.mp4 I attached the example to the ticket. Git commit febc26188fe4e6037e5c8a9b1840f65729972a47 by Gilles Caulier. Committed on 06/04/2022 at 20:38. Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'. Add ExifTool backend to load metadata for image or video. Exiv2 is always used in priority. If it fail, ExifTool is used instead. ExifTool has the capability to create an EXV container for Exiv2. All metadata extracted with ExifTool are concatened to the EXV container with all possible translations with Exif, Iptc, and Xmp tags. Of course tags supported by ExifTool but not supported by Exiv2 are lost.

Committed on 08/04/2022 at 03:25. Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'. Use only ExifTool backend to write metadata to RAW files, as Exiv2 is fully unsafe with these kind of operations. Reading and Writing metadata to video files is now delegate to ExifTool Backend too.
