problem playing videos...

Hi all,

Lately, I wanted to correct problems with digiKam and videos. Thumbnails of videos where not there, and the default video player is the image editor.

Going to the FAQ, the thumbnails are now working! Thanks. But I still can't work out the default video player.

So when I click on a video, it is running the normal image viewer. Going in kcontrol then to KDE Components/File Associations, then video, then x-msvideo. The first application listed here is Kaffeine.

Everything works great in Konkeror.

Anyone has any idear what is wrong? Thanks.

Ubuntu 7.04
digiKam 0.9.1

That's not good.

Oddly, on mine, the thumbnails are not working. But, the video works like a
charm.

So, I am guessing that Konqueror uses Kaffeine to watch the video. Am I
correct?

Possibly. Do you have KMplayer installed? When I play a video, Digikam embed
KMplayer, not Kaffeine, even though Kaffeine is the default video player on
my computer. If you don't have KMplayer installed, I would try installing it
and see if that fixes your problem. If it doesn't, check to make sure
KMplayer is working correctly.

I'm running Feisty too.

Check FAQ. Problem already reported.

To be clear, digiKam use the first video service found in mime type KDE settings (set in kcontrol center)
 

If you don't have KMplayer installed, I would try installing it
and see if that fixes your problem. If it doesn't, check to make sure
KMplayer is working correctly.

In my computer, kaffeine, and kmplayer are installed and both can be used to play video, depending of the settings.

I run Mandriva 2007, and i have installed all proprietary codecs to play video (like avi, mov, mpg, etc.)

Hi Gilles and Andy (and all),

Andy, check the FAQ for the thumbnails.

For the videos, I can actually play them without any problem with a right-click, open with, there is a list of video players. In VLC, Kaffeine, xgine, Mplayer, watever they all work. The problem is that the default player with a simple click is the same software that is used for viewing the pictures.

Now going in KDE control center - Components/File Associations, video, x-msvideo witch has the *.AVI, *.avi extensions shows the softwares that will run video. Like I said, everything works in Konkeror.

What else could it be?

Thanks.
