video stuttering

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Yes this bug persists with the Qt5 version of digiKam. With the Qt6
version, we switch definitively from QtAV framework to QtMultimedia
(based also on ffmpeg) and the bug is not reproducible here under
Linux and Windows. I cannot yet test under MacOS, as the Qt6 version
available still too old for the moment.

Note : Qt6 version 6.5.0 at least is necessary.

There is not AppImage for Linux based on Qt6 available. The bundle
generated is not yet finalized. It's in the TODO list.

Best

Gilles Caulier
