Description brief 2024-06-28 21:42:44 UTC
Hello,

Yesterday I have installed Version 8.3.0 and now the audio-Files (WAV) don't play anymore. Under 8.2.0 this was okay.  Please check it.

Best regards,
Erich

WAV files play with the Qt6 version and QtMultimedia without any problems. Playing WAV files tested here with the Qt5 version and QtAVPlayer under digiKam-8.3.0 and 8.4.0 as AppImage also works here.

Comment 4 brief 2024-06-29 11:21:53 UTC
So, what is then wrong with my installation? I have the newest version Sonoma 14.5 on my MacStudio. There was never a problem with audio files as far as I can remember. Now under 8.3.0 it doesn't play anymore. I have restored 8.2.0 via TimeMachine. Attached are two screenshots. The first is a WAV screenshot under 8.2.0 after 10 seconds. The screen is black and the time display is at 00:00:10 and I can hear the audio. The second is a screenshot under 8.3.0 (same audio file), also after 10 seconds. The screen is white and the display remains at 00:00:00 and now sound is to hear.

Regards,
Erich Korn

Well, we don't make the screen black anymore. I think there was a bug in the progress display with the QtAVPlayer. Are you on macOS?
Please test the upcoming digiKam-8.4.0 version from here:

I have installed 8.4.0 on my Mac. Now the audio is to hear, but the time display remains at 00:00:00. So still not perfect. But thanks anyway for your quick response.
