<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Install, as instructed, qt6-multimedia-gstreamer.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Then edit ~/.config/digikam_systemrc. Change</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">videoBackend=ffmpeg</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">to</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">videoBackend=gstreamer</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">that works for me.</p>
