The mediaplayer in Digikam depended on media-libs/qtav, which has been removed recently, see https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=506c569b5dd51f8a925b9492c2d96e81567b0abf However, qtav has been added to Digikam's source tree a while back, see https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/tree/master/core/libs/video/qtav The mediaplayer can therefore simply be enabled using a cmake flag. Patch attached. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 865489 [details, diff] Patch to enable mediaplayer in digikam-8.1.0
ftr this is probably better than using the qtav package given its own upstream declared itself unmaintained[1], while this bundled version seems to be maintained by digikam (haven't tried but *seems* they fixed e.g. bug #834386 -- on that note, patch is likely missing dependencies like at least ffmpeg) [1] https://github.com/wang-bin/QtAV/commit/8bb780215bcd4a16d098a2a913d01f83b16193d7
Created attachment 886807 [details] digikam-8.2.0-r1.ebuild I've attached an updated ebuild for digikam-8.2.0 which adds the mediaplayer via a use-flag and fixes its dependencies.
Created attachment 889084 [details] digikam-8.3.0-r1.ebuild It's so convenient to have a possibility to view short mp4 videos in digikam. Why isn't it in the tree? I ported the ebuild which was attached to 8.3.0-r1 and built it. Works fine. Let's commit it to the tree.
