Apparently the dependencies for digikam dont show QT5Multimedia or
gstreamer and I have discovered this from an openSUSE forum member
"We do build it with libqt5-qtmultimedia-devel, but I just noticed that
QT5Multimedia support is turned *OFF* by default and has to be enabled
specifically.
Unfortunately this is not even mentioned in the build log (which
displays a list of all features and whether they are enabled or not),
that's probably why this slipped through.
I will see if we can enable it, but it may take a few days until a new
package is in the repo."
Hopefully this will solve my issue once the fix is available and will
solve the problem for any other openSUSE users who may see it as well.
