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

[Andrey Goreev]

Problem with ffmpeg is that it always produces an output file. So, for example, from file.mp4 digiKam will have to create file_out.mp4, then remove file.mp4 then rename file_out.mp4 to file.mp4. I think Gilles tested it and it slowed down the application a lot (too much).Maybe one day someone will write a plugin for that. In that case only the users who want write to video files will install and activate the plugin. I am one of them too. So I might chip in into the development if I understand how the new plugin interface works.Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
