            Bug ID: 389619
           Summary: digikam does not read from sidecars for video/mp4
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.8.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata-Sidecar
          Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: aegor...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

This is continuation of this thread:
http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/Re-read-metadata-from-a-sidecar-for-mp4-td4704976.html

I have recorded two videos.

In the first video I am adding tags, rating, gps coordinates to a video in my
collection. As you can see everything works just fine. digikam adds the
information to the database as well as to the xmp sidecar. Rating, tags and GPS
icon are seen in thumbnails view.

In the second video I removed digikamrc as well as the database files and added
a video file with an existing xmp sidecar to a new database. Neither
tags/rating nor gps logo can be seen in thumbnails view. Trying to 'Reread
metadata from Image' only shows an error. If I try to add geolocation once
again the error 'Failed to open file' pops up.

So basically there is no way to import an information from an existing sidecar
back to the database. Even though the box 'Read from sidecars' checked in
Settings - Metadata - Sidecars. I thought once the box is checked digiKam
should read from sidecars automatically.
