[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#834131: Video support still not working

[Simon Frei]

Sorry for not responding on this. I don't really use digikam for video
files and the few videos I had in my digikam collections still did not
run after.

However upstream has dropped QTmultimedia for video handling and uses
QtAV (which in turn is based of ffmpeg). Unfortunately QtAV is not yet
in debian (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=737016),
however upstream provides debian packaging already, which worked almost
fine for me (buildep without -nc flag resulted in an error). This will
take effect in the upcoming 5.4.0 release due at the end of this month.

[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#834131: Video support still not working

[Steve M. Robbins]

Hi Martin & Simon,

In my testing yesterday, I found that before the "fix", NONE of my video
files played on digikam.  After I built with ENABLE_MEDIAPLAYER=ON, then
at least some of my videos played.  But not all of them.

I wanted to ask whether this matches your experience.

The videos that did NOT play for me did emit a message about GStreamer
plugins, as the KDE bug alludes to.  I do have "good", "bad", and
"ugly" plugins installed.  So I'm at a loss here.

That sounds like the right one.

Thanks!
