Version 5.0 is great - nice progress ! However I am no longer able to see the videos in digikam. The preview is still correct, but the video is not playing. Instead it shows: "Mit dem Medienspieler ist ein Fehler aufgetreten ..." From shell I find the following: digikam.database: Complete scan took: 2645 msecs. digikam.general: Event is dispatched to desktop notifier through DBUS digikam.general: Stacked View Mode : 6 digikam.general: Error: "Das QMediaPlayer-Objekt hat keinen gültigen Dienst" digikam.general: Stacked View Mode : 6 digikam.general: Error: "Das QMediaPlayer-Objekt hat keinen gültigen Dienst" I am not able to play neither mov (Canon) nor mts (Sony). I am unavailable the next four week - hope these details suffice to track the problem. Thanks, Georg Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start digikam 2. select video to play 3. Actual Results: Not being played. Expected Results: Video shall be played.
digiKam use with 5.0.0 Qt5Multimedia to play video files. Qt5Multimedia under Linux use GStreamer backend, as explained here : http://wiki.qt.io/Qt_5.7_Multimedia_Backends So you need to install GStreamer "bad", "good", and "ugly" codec packages. There will be detected at run-time by Qt5Multimedia. Gilles Caulier
Hi Gilles, I have installed gstreamer 1.0 and gstreamer1.0-plugins-good / bad /ugly. The latter one also one with amr. There are also gstreamer0.1 plugins but here ugly is missing. Behaviour is unchanged.

These message come from Qt5::Multimedia : digikam.general: Video monitoring is not available. digikam.general: Failed to extract video thumbnail for It's not a digiKam implmeentation problem but a run time from Qt5::Multimedia + the low level backend used by this framework to handle video files. Report this problem to Qt team. Gilles Caulier
I close this file now, as we remove Qt5::Multimedia dependency to digiKam and replaced it by QtAv which use ffmpeg codecs as well... Gilles Caulier
Yes, I have seen that it works now but was unsure why it worked again. My inital trials to find a cause in QT5 were unsuccessful. Good Job !
