Question regarding digikam libs

[Pedro Neves]

Hi Giles

I was wondering which libraries are used by Digikam to read:

- raw files

- video files

The reason I'm asking is because the developers team for Subsurface (a diving log software written with QT) is considering implementing those formats. So far we support several image files but no videos nor raw files.

Thanks in advance:

Hi,

libraw is used to process RAW files : http://www.libraw.org

For Video files we use Qt5::Multimedia framework, which delegate decoding to extra codecs installed on target OS. For Linux, it's GStreamer.

But, due to poor support of this framework under OSX and Windows, especially to be able to extract video thumbnails, we plan to use a dedicated wrapper based on ffmpeg.
