Video thumbnails - what does it need? (I forgot...)

[Gilles Caulier]

DK 5.3.0 use Qt5Multimedia. In background under Linux GStreamer codecs are
used. Good luck, GStreamer is a big maze and i personalty lost a lots of
time to be able to see something working properly with video.

So no way with GStreamer runtimes. It's a waste of time. And it's not
possible to bundle the AppImage with GStreamer. So 5.3.0 bundle do not work
with video...

Voilà.

Now 5.4.0 is back with NO Qt5Multimedia support. We use now QtAV framework
in place for video and audio. In background, ffmpeg codecs are used WITHOUT
runtime dependencies. This permit to bundle the application as well, WITH
video support...

Voilà ^2

Best
