Maik,

I just seen this automatic note appended on the bottom of QtAV report : 

"
NOTE: QtAV is no longer maintained, please use new sdk:
https://github.com/wang-bin/mdk-sdk
"

It's clear : the new sdk a closed source solution not compatible with
digiKam...

Solution :

1/ Ask to the author the keys to maintain the official repository on github.
2/ Fork QtAV in a new github repository and maintain as possible.
3/ Extract CPP code needs for digiKam and import code in core as 3rd party.
4/ Switch again to another framework : MLT used by KDenlive
https://mltframework.org/

For 1/, if original author force users to switch to closed source new sdk, i
fear no chance to obtain the key.
For 2/, simple to do but complex to maintain. We don't have the manpower to do
it. If we choose this solution, all QtAV users must help to maintain this code.
This needs coordination, which it out of scope of digiKam.
For 3/, it's my preferred way, as we will review all necessary codes and
rewrite all the complex cmake rules everywhere (a puzzle) and drop qmake stuff. 
For 4/, MLT is a bulldozer and this require to put all current code in the
trash and restart for scratch. It's not sure if it depend of ffmpeg, that we
needs.

Note : This thread is only for next 8.0.0 AND Qt6 port as QtAV Qt5 code for
git/master work as expected. 

Gilles
