[Digikam-users] Problem deleting albums / Problem videos

[Stuart T Rogers]

I have just run digikam from the commandline and see the following in 
the console for my .MOV files:-

digikam.metaengine: Cannot load metadata using Exiv2   (Error # 11 : 
/home/stuart/Work/Graphics1/Pentax-K500/2016/06/IOW/IMGP8490.MOV: The 
file contains data of an unknown image type
digikam.dimg: 
"/home/stuart/Work/Graphics1/Pentax-K500/2016/06/IOW/IMGP8490.MOV"  :

"/home/stuart/Work/Graphics1/Pentax-K500/2016/06/IOW/IMGP8489.MOV"

Does this help explain what is going on?
