Hi, I think this subject have already talk in this room : Did you use the ExifTool backend for the metadata ? Look in digiKam/Setup/metadata for details? https://docs.digikam.org/en/setup_application/metadata_settings.html#behavior-settings Did you tried the 8.6.0 pre-release where we already fixed a lots of files? https://files.kde.org/digikam/ https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/NEWS?ref_type=heads Best Gilles Caulier To manage video files with tags and geoinformation, writing with ExifTool must be enabled. Reading with ExifTool does not need to be enabled, as video files are handled with ExifTool and FFmpeg anyway. Maik Created attachment 178350 [details]

I've selected "Delegate to ExifTool backend all operations to write metadata to files" but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.
I haven't tried the 8.6.0 but will look into that
Would it make a difference that my ExifTool version is 12.25, I see it's up to 13.19 so I'll see if updating that makes any difference
(wow your response to my bug report was so fast! thank you for your time. And apologies if I'm not using the bug reporting system very well, I don't know much at all about programming)
I tested it here with MP4 files. It could be due to the ExifTool version, use the one that is in the digiKam directory. I think I read something about MP4 in the ExifTool bug reports. Maik Hi, The 8.7.0 pre-release Windows installer from today have been rebuilt from scratch with Qt 6.8.3, KDE 6.12, OpenCV 4.11 + CUDA support, Exiv2 0.28.5, ExifTool 13.27, ffmpeg 7, all image codecs updated to last version (jxl, avif, heif, aom, etc.). Please try with this version to see if your problem still reproducible... https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Thanks in advance Best regards Gilles Caulier Just confirming that this bug has been fixed and is working fine for me now. I have a new laptop and with a fresh installation of 8.6.0 from your homepage it's all working properly Thanks so much Thanks Jocelyn for the feedback |
