The videos are landscape mode and show up upside-down in Digikam. By contast, videos taken with Canon S100 are correctly upside up.
There is no video decoder in digiKam. All is done with Qt5Multimedia which use GStremer backend under Linux Giles Caulier
digiKam 5.4.0 bundles will use QtAV framework instead Qt5Multimedia to thumb and play video. The Slideshow tool will also support video as well. QtAV use ffmpeg codecs. It's multi-platform and will always available in OSX, Windows and Linux bundles that digiKam team provide. For Linux packagers, you will need to turn on video support at compilation time and solve QtAV dependencies... The screenshot on here : https://www.flickr.com/photos/digikam/30886133553/in/dateposted-public/ ... is based on pre-release of AppImage 64 bits Linux bundle, just recompiled and post to GDrive for testing. The 32bits version is under process and will be available at the same place today evening. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM Please report if this problem remain on this version. If yes, report this to QtAV project... Gilles Caulier
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. Gilles Caulier
