Description of problem: The Media Support is not activated -DENABLE_MEDIAPLAYER:BOOL=OFF Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.0.0 beta 3 Fedora 32 How reproducible: Look in to the build Logs Actual results: Media files have no thumbnails and can't play in the application Expected results: We see the thumbnails and can watch the media in digikam Additional info: I downloaded the source and compiled it on my Fedora 32 and had no Problem but I see that two of the needed libs (x265,qtav) came from rpmfusion-free. Maybe an open source rule? -- liblqr-1 found........................... YES (optional) -- libmarble found.......................... YES (optional) -- libqtav found............................ NO (optional) -- digiKam will be compiled without Media Player support. -- Please install the libqtav (version >= 1.12.0) development package. -- -- libthreadweaver found.................... YES (optional) -- libxml2 found............................ YES (optional) -
media player support requires libraries that are currently patented and cannot be in fedora due to policy reasons, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items (Once upon a time, digikam supported plugin-based media support, so that this feature was supported easily by rpmfusion addons, but the current implementation is all-or-nothing unfortunately)
