[digiKam-users] Reading/writing Video metadata to Caption/Title

[John Bray]

Would it be possible to extend the Metadata/Advanced configuration
options to read/write video, especially avi and mp4, metadata to
Captions/Captions or Title.

I currently use external scripts to do

exiftool -Title="title" file.mp4
mencoder oldfile.avi -oac pcm -ovc copy -info name="name" -info
subject="subject" -info comment="title" -o newfile.avi
ffmpeg -i oldfile.mp4 -metadata title="title" -metadata
comment="comment" newfile.mp4
ffmpeg -i oldfile.avi -metadata title="title" -metadata
comment="comment" newfile.avi

And I see that digkam 6.0.0 now supports ffmpeg, so it should be straightforward

Currently it seems that the Captions Caption/Title information seems
trapped inside Digikam's database, and is never read or written to
files.

Thanks

John
