I also cannot play videos in digikam, and I think I found the cause of the
problem and a workaround.  I noticed that in the MIME Types tab of the
configure tool, the edit box for "Additional image file extensions" contained
the string "avi;jpg;mov".  This leads me to suspect that digikam was treating
AVI and MOV files as if they were images (hence the "Could not load image"
error message when trying to display a movie).  I cleared that edit box, but
that in itself did not fix the problem.  I then had to go to the Collections
tab, and remove and re-add my photo collection.  This forced digikam to rescan
my entire collection. After that, I can now play video files in digikam.
