I found something, what can lead to the solution.
First: i have a notebook, on which I installed the same OS in the same kind of
my desktop. Opensuse 12.1 with KDE 4.7. an digikam 2.4. The I copied a bunch of
files (photos and camera-videos) from my desktop to the notebook and started
digikam. And: digikam played the videos! So I compared the installations rpm by
rpm and found no difference of significance (ati vs nvidia-driver). And no
difference with the mime-types!
Second: the installation is the same, the files are the same, so waht is the
difference between both digikam's? It lasted a few weeks until I had the idea:
it is the database! On my desktop the photos are from digikam 0.8 or so and the
database was updated a few times. On my notebook the database is fresh!
Third: a had no desire to make a new database, because there are more than
60.000 photos in my picture-folder. That took me some days and I had the idea:
if I get digikam to update the files in the database, perhaps I find something?
I renamed a not playing MOV-File from filename.MOV to filename.mov and digikam
played it from then on. So you think, it something with the mime-types and it's
case-sensitive? Wrong: I renamed a anotherfile.mov to anotherfile.MOV and it
played! The same with AVI and avi. So I searched my whole picture-folder for
MOV with digikam which makes digikam output MOV and mov, and renamed all to MOV
and then again everything to mov, so I was sure to rename every file. The same
with avi and now everything is fine! All videos are playing ...
And I found out, that a video within digikam is not played by the default
player of KDE. KDE plays MOV-files with ffplay and this is configured. Ffplay
plays MOV-files fine, xine plays, but with wrong colors, so I can see, that it
is not ffplay, which is working in digikam.
Hope, it helps
