Bug ID: 500178
Summary: Star Rating metadata won't write to Video
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 8.5.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Video
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: backu...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Configuration reports that the included exiftool.exe is both READ/WRITE
compatible with MP4 files. Yet, basic metadata is not being written to the
files by digiKam or its management of exiftool.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure all metadata namespaces are checked in `Settings > Configure
digiKam... > Metadata > Advanced > Rating`
2. Star Rate a video in your Album
3. Select the video and `Item > Write Metadata To File`
4. Select the video and `Item > Reread Metadata From File`
OBSERVED RESULT
Star rating disappears in the process. (it never gets written as metadata to
the video file)
EXPECTED RESULT
A star rating should be present in the metadata and be read by digiKam or even
show in the Properties view from the OS.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Without success, I’ve tried variations on the settings:
`Settings > Configure digiKam... > Metadata > Behavior > Reading and Writing
Metadata`
- Use ExifTool backend to read metadata from files
- Delegate to ExifTool backend all operations to write metadata to files
There appears to be a couple Metadata-Video bugs filed here like Bug 500043,
but none that came up in my search seem to address fundamental metadata like
Star Ratings.
digiKam is successful when READING the Star Rating metadata from files. Tested
by setting the rating from the OS file properties, then `Item > Reread Metadata
>From File`
Only fails when `Item > Write Metadata To File`
