[Digikam-users] Playing videos in V5

[Stuart T Rogers]

OK to answer both Gilles and jdd

To open the video I do what I always did in V4 which is double click on 
it and it expect it to open and play in the preview part of the main 
display which is what it has always done in V4 - in V5 it plays the 
video sound but the preview window shows all the thumbnails not the video.

Secondly the openSUSE version did not have the correct compile options 
for QT5Multimedia so once that was corrected the proper thumbnails 
appeared for the video clips and the video should play. One of the 
openSUSE forum members confirmed that for him he can get the video to 
play, although it is not clear exactly how he did this as he does not 
normally use digikam and just tested it for me.

If I right click on the video thumbnail and use open with and choose a 
video player then the video plays but externally to digikam in that 
players own window.

Now unless V5 has changed how it works I expected the video to play in 
the preview part of the digikam window.
