Exiv2 bug reports

[Gilles Caulier]

yes. The problem is that metadata abstraction use the same interface for
image and video. It's homogeneous. If we want to use another frameworks for
video only, this will increase the complexity of DK code, so the
probability of bugs.

We have an entry in QtAV framework to have an interface to handle metadata
with ffmpeg, but we don't receive a favorable response from QtAV team :

https://github.com/wang-bin/QtAV/issues/820

A digiKam user has proposed to use this tool :

https://www.bento4.com/

But it support only few video formats (mp4 mostly).
