            Bug ID: 366348
           Summary: WISH: Saving metadata to video files
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.0.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

Video files are a part of anyone's family photo archive. I think Digikam could
have got many news users if it could save metadata to video files (avi, mp4,
m4v, mov). I am only thinking of the following metadata but there might be
something else:
- Star rating
- Tags (keywords)
- Date taken (Media created)
The only software I have used that could do that was Windows Live Photo
Gallery. Since WLPG lacks some essential options like RAW files support, multi
level tags, etc. Digikam could get all its users.


Reproducible: Always

--- Comment #1 from [hidden email] ---
I close this file as UPSTREAM.

The video file metadata support is delegate to Exiv2 shared library. Is know
that implementation to write metadata in video file needs improvement and
stabilization (digiKam crash often while this kind of operation).

Nothing will be done in digiKam source code, as video file support is already
implemented in metadata interface. Just the low level backend in Exiv2 is not
yet ready for production.

The workaround for you is to use XMP side car support in digiKam with read only
files (RAW and video files).
