[digiKam-users] Play Video with VLC

[Sjoerd]

Hi Maik,

Not sure if I follow:
I am on kubuntu jammy (22.04) and have both vlc and digikam natively 
installed:

ii  vlc            3.0.16-1build7 amd64        multimedia player and 
streamer
ii  digikam        4:7.5.0-3fakesync1 amd64        digital photo 
management application for KDE

it's not the latest greatest though.

Regards,
Sjoerd
