Slideshow with captions and videos?

[Tim Edwards]

I was wondering if there's anyway with Digikam (or any other program on
Linux) to show a slideshow of a directory/album of photos where the
slideshow shows the photos with their EXIF captions and plays video
files found in the directory?

Currently Digikam's slideshow feature shows photos with their captions
but doesn't play videos, although in normal 'preview image' mode it's
happy to play the videos. I've found that browsing through a directory
of photos using gThumb in fullscreen mode will show photos and play
videos, but not display the captions with the photos.

Thanks

Tim

Displaying caption is already implemented in last 4.6.0 release
(options available since a long time through Setup Slideshow config
panel). It's work too with Showfoto.

Video is complex problem with slideshow. This doesn't work in some
situation due to limitation of KDE::Phonon widget. Can be perhaps
fixed with Qt5 port. See this report in bugzilla :

Thanks for the info, so really there's no way to do it with QT4/KDE4 and
we have to wait until KDE5/QT5?

As i can see, no. I tried to implement it as you can see in bugzilla
files, but if video files are broken while slideshow, this last one
cannot be played.

Problem is located to Phonon widget which play video files (there is
no video player in digiKam code). No errors is returned is problem
occurs.
