[digikam] [Bug 366387] New: video (mts and mov) not played (neither from camera nor local file)

[via KDE Bugzilla]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366387

Bug ID: 366387
Summary: video (mts and mov) not played (neither from camera
nor local file)
Product: digikam
Version: 5.0.0
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: AlbumsView
Assignee: digikam-***@kde.org
Reporter: ***@t-online.de

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

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.

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. See below:

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.

I close this file now, as we remove Qt5::Multimedia dependency to digiKam and
replaced it by QtAv which use ffmpeg codecs as well...

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 !
