Bug ID: 459928
Summary: Tags/keywords are not written back to MP4 video files,
even with exiftool being configured
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 7.9.0
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Tags-Engine
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I'm trying to make Digikam to read/write tags to/from my *.mp4 video files:
- I do have a latest version of Digikam built from git (7.9.0), also tested the
same with prev version (7.8.0)
- I have configured it with the latest exiftool 12.16
- I do see, this pairing works and tags information is being picked up from my
*.mp4 files. If I use "Metadata" pane on the right hand side and "Exiftool" tab
in there, I do see my tags, which I set manually with exiftool.
- I also configured Digikam to write tags back to files ("Settings" ->
"Configure DigiKam" -> "Metadata" -> "Behavior" -> "Write this information to
the Metadata" -> all boxes checked)
Tagging works perfectly for all my photo files. Whenever I assign some tag for
one or bunch of photos, I can see Digikam immediately processes those files.
And if I crosscheck them later with exiftool I can see my freshly set tags in
there.
But this doesn't work for video files. Like if I assign tag on some of my mp4
files, nothing is get written back to file. Digikam shows all these updates to
tags being made, below video thumbnails, but my guess it just writes them to
its own sqlite database and gets them from it.
And from the way how UI behaves when I set tags on videos, I don't see Digikam
triggers the same batch queue processess to update files, as it does when I
assign tags for bunch of photos.
I even tried to run "Album" -> "Write metadata to files", but my *.mp4 files
didn't get any tags as well.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get Digikam v7.9.0 or v7.8.0 configured with exiftool
2. Configure Digikam to write metadata back to files
3. Assign a tag to one of your mp4 files
4. Use exiftool <filename.mp4> to see what tags the file got
OBSERVED RESULT
No tags being written to actual file
EXPECTED RESULT
Tags should have been written to mp4 file
