DigiKam 5.8: AVCHD (.mts) video thumbnails missing

NeiNei
Hi there,

I work with DigiKam 5.8 on on KDE neon LTS 5.8 (Plasma 5.8.8, Qt Version
5.7.1, KDE Frameworks Version 5.42.0).

In Dolphin the thumbnails (ffmegthumbs) of my AVCHD clips (.mts suffix)
are shown and and the file association of .mts is directed to VLC player
which works flawless with this type of video clips.

However, Digikam 5.8 does not show thumbnails of these clips nor could I
play it from the preview window. Below is the output of the terminal.
Perhaps some could direct me on how to fix this issues.
Thanks in advance,
NeiNei

Perhaps QtAV does not support the file type. Try installing QtAV separately and open with it.

You are using the appimage, correct ?

Re: DigiKam 5.8: AVCHD (.mts) video thumbnails missing

Gilles Caulier-4
To be more precise, QtAv have no codecs inside. All is delegate to ffmpeg. So if your system ffmpeg is compiled with all codecs (it's optional at configuration time), some video type will not be supported.

Why not all codecs are not included by default ? Because of patents of course. There are plenty of free patents code and other ones no.

Try installing gstreamer codec bundles good bad ugly etc. And see if that helps then. I thought appimage has them embedded.

In reply to this post by Gilles Caulier-4
Dear Gilles and Andrey,
thanks for the quick replies.
I work with the DigiKam package which is distributed by KDE neon LTS 5.8
(Plasma 5.8.8, Qt Version 5.7.1, KDE Frameworks Version 5.42.0) and not
the AppImage.

In Dolphin the thumbnails (ffmegthumbs) of my AVCHD clips (.mts suffix)
are shown and I could play the clips with VLC player.

Perhaps this helps to tackle the issue further on.
Thanks,
NeiNei

Re: DigiKam 5.8: AVCHD (.mts) video thumbnails missing

AndriusWild
I would try the appimage and see if the issue is still there.
You might also try digikam from Philip Johnsson 's PPA.

Dear Gilles and Andrey,
thanks for the quick replies.
I work with the DigiKam package which is distributed by KDE neon LTS 5.8
(Plasma 5.8.8, Qt Version 5.7.1, KDE Frameworks Version 5.42.0) and not
the AppImage.

In Dolphin the thumbnails (ffmegthumbs) of my AVCHD clips (.mts suffix)
are shown and I could play the clips with VLC player.

Perhaps this helps to tackle the issue further on.
Thanks,
NeiNei

Yes, good explaination.

ffmpeg -codecs

Video support is disabled at compile time. Playing video files is not possible
with their digiKam version.

Dear Gilles, Maik and Andrey,

I tried with no luck:
 > digikam from Philip Johnsson 's PPA.
There is no DigiKam 5.8 available for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial)
 > gstreamer codec bundles good bad ugly
"good" was installed by default, installing "ugly" etc. did not change
the situation

I tried with success:
 > try the appimage and see if the issue is still ther
With the DigiKam 5.8 AppImage it is working

DigiKam 5.8 64bit on Windows 8.1 works, too

So do I now run out of options to get the native Digikam 5.8 package to
work?

Thanks,

"good" was installed by default, installing "ugly" etc. did not change the situation

GStreamer has nothing to see with ffmpeg. Both are completely different projects.

ffmpeg must be complied with right codec, and as Maik said, digiKam must be compiled with QtAV support, which is the Qt interface to ffmpeg.

Voilà for the native DK dependencies for video support.

Yes.

If the packagers who make the "native" digikam 5.8 package refuse to include
QtAV support when compiling, there's nothing you can do to get it working, as
it's a hard-coded part of the program, not a plugin.

So you can:
use the appimage, or
compile digikam yourself, or
switch to a distro that has everything you need compiled in their packages.

Thanks for the feedback and further details.

Meanwhile I did some research on the missing QtAV on the Ubuntu
derivatives. It seems so that QtAV support will be part of the Ubuntu
derivatives from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic) onward. See:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=qtav&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
Whether there will be any backport to Xenial seems to be unclear.

So, as long there is no official QtAV support on the *bunut Xenial
platform I could not expect Video support in a native DigiKam 5.8
package on these platforms or I have to switch to one of the
alternatives Remco mentioned below. I found with Gecko Linux (an
OpenSuse Spin) and OpenSuse two distros which already offer QtQV support.

Thanks for helping me to find out these details,
NeiNei

or, to forget official package, and use the Linux universal AppImage that we provide. This open as QtAV support of course...

Re: DigiKam 5.8: AVCHD (.mts) video thumbnails missing

I think Cannonical ships a wrong ffmpeg in their repository. The project split into ffmpeg and Libav (I think) one day and them both used name ffmpeg in the beginning.
Anyways, you can just compile ffmpeg yourself using this guide: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu

I am no programmer at all and I have done it few times.

So if you don't like appimages and don't want to switch to another distro this might be way to go.

I am on openSUSE and sometimes  it is a bit of pain in the a$$ compare to debian/ubuntu.  Or at least it was in the beginning.
