[Bug 288068] New: Thumbnails for different video types in Windows

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288068

           Summary: Thumbnails for different video types in Windows
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.3.0
          Platform: MS Windows
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Thumbnails
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           2.3.0 (using KDE 4.7.2)
OS:                MS Windows

It would be nice, if digiKam could show video file thumbnails in addition to
still image file thumbnails while browsing through albums. This would make
managing your video collection so much easier in Windows environment!
Especially mts/m2ts video file thumbnails would help AVCHD video shooters.





Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
DigiKam would display video file thumbnails extracted from video files in
Albums view.

I am trying to figure out why it isn't working for 2.4.0 (to be released next
week) but may not have time until 2.5.0.

video thumb computation is delegate to KDE thumb kioslave. Under Linux,
mplayerthumbs is used. Under windows, no idea...

Nice to know that new version is coming soon. Hopefully someone figures out how
AVCHD thumbs could be displayed also in Windows. There doesn't seem to be too
many commercial video supporting DAM software on the market. So being able to
display mts/m2ts thumbs in digikam would be super cool.

Perhaps under windows VLC is used to display video thumbs. You can see that
phonon vlc is an in-deep depency for KDE

Have you noticed a free software called JPhotoTagger? It might be able to
create thumbs for video files also. I haven't had time or expertise to test it,
but thought I would point it out for you, if information provided could be for
any help for you. MPlayer mentioned isn't MS Media Player. ;)

Just installed DigiKam 2.5.0 under Windows 7 (64 bit Home Premium).

Double clicking .m2ts files opens the video file inside DigiKam (DK) but widens
the DK window to my another monitor. The video is also so big, that it goes
partly over the screen edge.

Hopefully you can unlock/implement XMP sidecar support for video files and all
other file types user wants to. Embedding metadata only inside DK database
seems very risky at the moment. ;)

To Anthiah, comment #6 : XMP sidecar support is implemented since a while in
digiKam and Exiv2.
