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.
Created attachment 892015 [details] qtmultimedia dep
Agreed that the official ebuild should be updated. This was difficult to figure out. I had to add a dependency to qtmultimedia[widgets] because I don't have a full QT/KDE install (awesomewm). Attached updated ebuild.

Unfortunately this is by far not complete. Where do you pass portaudio or pulseaudio option to cmake args? No linking to either? If it is just RDEPEND swappable, then it would only be in RDEPEND? Where do you handle conflict with opengl IUSE cmake arg?

But it works! I think my case is typical: I have a huge tree of photos with a relatively small admixture of videos. I want to view the materials from some travel, for example. digikam with USE=-mediaplayer will show me all jpegs. But it will not show me videos, not even thumbnails, will not show info on video files. To view them, I have to switch to a term window, cd to the relevant directory, find videos in a large pile of photos, and view them using some external tool. Many years ago I used some other program, probably, kphotoalbum (I'm not 100% sure). And when I clicked of a video file in a photo collection, it started some video viewer (maybe, kaffeine, not sure). This was convenient. But then I switched to digikam. I liked that it writes extra info (what people are on this photo, etc.) directly in the jpeg, not in some external database file (which is easily lost, e.g., when an old notebook breaks, and I switch to a new one). But digikam does not show videos :-(
It needs more attention and the issues were explained in the commit message, the bug is not WONTFIX'd. Feel free to give a patch addressing the concerns raised.
