[SOLVED] [DidiKam] How can I get video thumbnails?

I use DigiKam 1.0 from Extra under Xfce and it works fine. However it doesn't show video thumbnails.
According to http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/143, DigiKam should be able to handle it:
Digikam uses KDE to generate thumbnails and KDE rely on aRts to do that.
So, you should check your aRts configuration. ARts can use xine plugin for video files, so try if xine is able to play your video files. You may have to use additional codecs (eg libxine-extracodecs on debian/ubuntu if you already have libarts1-xine) for that.
Try also to play your video files using xine (if libarts1-xine is installed).
Remember that if it doesn't work in konqueror, it won't work in digikam...
I couldn't find anything related to aRts in Yaourt. I installed xine but that didn't help.
Is there a simple way to add video thumbnails on DigiKam when running XfCE?

You are the man!
pacman -S kdemultimedia-mplayerthumbs
did the trick. I can now see the thumbnails. Now when I right click on one thumbnail I can select a video player and play the movie fine. However if I left click on a video I get an error message from the built-in video player?
Is there any additional package to add in order to use the built-in media player for AVCHD Lite movies?
Thanks again.

How can I get videos (Hulu) on my laptop to appear on my TV?

How can I get videos (Hulu) on my laptop to appear on my TV? I already have the correct cable cord, but all I can see on my TV is the start-up screen.

Your videos are saved in Photos. There is no storage capability in the Apple TV. You can only view them by streaming the videos via Air Play. Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
I don't know which iPad you have so this may not apply but if you want transfer your videos to your iPad follow the steps in this article: iMovie for iOS (iPad): Transfer video and photos between devices

How can I get video media .MOD into Premiere El. 9?

Videos from my Canon 7d camera and from my Canon ADCHD camcorder (both SD cards) are .MOD files. I open Premiere Elements 9 and click GET MEDIA and it won't recognize the files. It says it cannot open the videos because:
"your system does not have the required compression/decompression codec installed."
When I bought this software a service rep assured me that it would take .MOD files. Why weren't these codecs installed with the program? How can I get these videos to work with Premiere Elements 9?

First, I apologize - I meant .MOV files, not .MOD files. I did download the Quick Time update. Then other problems arose:
Per an e-mail from a forum member, I downloaded an update of QuickTime, which should let me open .MOV files.
Inserted an SD memory card from my Canon camcorder. I selected FLASH, ADCHD... Then GET MEDIA.
Thumbnails appeared labeled MOV001.MOD and ascending numerical order. Then Premiere stopped working and a message appeared:
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive\device\Harddisk1\DR1
So I must have picked the wrong device category?
I couldn't close the error message or the software so used the Task Manager to get out of it.
After a couple more tries I gave up.
Then I tried my DSLR Canon 7d CF memory card. Selected NEW FILE. Clicked on "edit settings" and chose DSLR > GET MEDIA. The downloader began. Up came another message.
Download failed because the files are TOO LARGE.
These are CR2 (RAW) PHOTOS. Do I have to change the format to .jpg or .psd in Photoshop Elements first?
Any suggestions?

How can I get videos from iTunes US, living in Switzerland?

Hi guys =)
I have already pre-ordered the iPod Touch and alomost can't wait until the 2nd October =P
Well, I am a big fan of Dr House and Desperate Housewives. I saw that I cannot buy videos on the swiss iPod Store.
I wanted to know how I could get videos from the US iTunes Store. Is that possible? And if it is do I need a credit card or a gift card?
Hope it'll be clear enough... Usually I don't explain the things very clearly =P
Thanks for your help

Deggie - what is better fraud or theft? To get video content on my iPod Touch I'm going to have to resort to one or the other. Your ethical advice would be appreciated....I spent 500 EUR on this, now I want my money's worth.

How can i get video downloader for nokia 5530

how can i download video from youtube on my nokia 5530

this quote is from one of the applications available for the iPhone 3G:
Record at the maximum speed of the iPhone camera (6-15 frames per second, depending only on lighting conditions) with no compression delay between pressing stop and getting to view the resulting video.
Video files are recorded at 384x288, a 4x3 (television) aspect ratio.
The iPhone 3G S records VGA-resolution (640 by 480) at 30 frames per second, witch is the standard speed capture.
This says it all, Apple does not add a Video Record functionality to the iPhone 3G because the camera is not ready for such things, and give a bad think to the users was never Apple line!

a sample of an iPhone 3GS video and a sample of one using iPhone 3G

How can I get video out to my TV from my old G4 AGP 450mHz?

Hi all,
just wondering if anyone has any idea how to get video out from my old G4 tower? It's an AGP model (1st gen), 450mHz. All I've found so far is a link to very expensive Radeon cards, well beyond what I need, which is:
- S-video or even RCA out so I can see my computer on a TV screen
- Solution for under or around $50
That's pretty much it. I can't seem to find a VGA to S-Video adapter anywhere out there - does it exist? I don't have DVI on this machine either.
I've Googled this all over, and I saw plenty of stuff to get a Mac Mini out with a DVI adapter, but this obviously won't work (no DVI)
Any ideas?
thanks

Hmm... not a bad idea! I even checked and apparently an ATI Radeon 7000 supports video-out. Gonna see if I can get one for cheap - maybe on ebay. This will work fine with Panther or Tiger?
I've even considered buying a PC version of a Radeon card and flashing it to work with my G4, but that is very sketchy, even for me.
Will let you know how this turns out. Any other ideas are welcome
mike

The not very expensive but also discontinued ATI
Radeon 8500 Mac Edition AGP card has VGA DVI and
S-Video out. Maybe you could try to find a used one
on the market... I bough one through other world
computing within the last year for not very much...
Just an idea.

How can I get Video Recording! on my Blackberry curve 8320 ???????????? HELP PLEASSEEEEE

Hi, Im a bet stressed out i just got the blackberry Curve 8320 from Tmobile and realized it has no Video recording however the person that sold it to me says they downloaded a program like a converter or something and they used to have video recording on it. Can you please tell me how i can get video recording on mine Please. Thank you.

to use video you need an upgrade. The name is handheld device software OS. I believe you have 4.2. 4.5 is required.
You have to wait for TMobile to release the 4.5 OS.

How Can I Get Videos I've Shot, Onto My PC?

I've shot several videos I'd like to get onto my PC (iTouch 4th Gen). I read the iTouch .pdf docs, and it doesn't explain it very well. So how do I can I get my iTouch videos from my iTouch to a folder on my PC? Thanks for any help!

I tried that using Windows Explorer, and Picasa. Doesn't seem to recognize my iTouch as either a device or drive, in order to import the videos...if that's what you meant. Thanks for your reply.

How can I get video out from my iPhone 5?

With my iPhone 4, I was able to watch videos on the exercise machines at my gym that were equipped with 30-pin connectors. They piped the video to their display screens, and the audio to a jack for my earpods to plug into. Now that I have upgraded to an iPhone 5, there is no way to directly connect to these machines (they don't have the new "Lightning" connectors). So I bought a Lightning-to30-Pin adaptor at my Apple Store, and sadly learned that it doesn't pass through video, only audio. This is a huge step backwards for me. What is a reasonable solution for this?

Get the Lightning USB Camera Adapter:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD821ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter?fnod e=3a
and attach your iPhone to your iPad Mini as a Camera.
or use an App which can transfer the video via WiFi like Photo Transfer:

How can i get video to play on monitors that use amplified splitterss?

I am having no luck trying to get video on to monitors using splitters from the main video system. the video on the main system works fine. can anyone help me with this?

It would seem that you accidentally unchecked all your songs. Go to the Songs view and CTRL+click on any empty checkbox. If you don't see the checkboxes press CTRL+A and then right-click for options or visit the preferences dialog box to enable them.

How can I get videos to play in playlists on my ipod touch ios6?

I have an iPod Touch that used to have ios5.1 in it but I upgraded it to ios6.
Since upgrading, the ability to play vidoes in Playlists in iTunes, seems to have disappeared!
I still have one iPod Touch with ios5.1 and it still works fine this way but the one with ios6 will not show the videos in the Playlist I created.
Anyone know how to get this fucntion back?
I've heard you can't go back to an older ios once you upgrade.....then I heard you can but it's difficult.
Thanks!

Unless your iDevice had been jailbroken, it does not have a virus. Please describe why you feel it does.
