Public bug reported: When trying to play a movie in digikam with the nvidia driver open, the movie will not play since upgrading to 24.10. (Specifically, the sound will play but there's no picture.)
There is an error message when digikam is started frome the console: [hevc_cuvid @ 0x603210bd4280] Codec hevc_cuvid is not supported. Could it be that digikam was compiled with Nvidia hardware decoding enabled, but ffmpeg was not? I have a laptop with nvidia prime setup; when I disable the nvidia card completely and use just the onboard intel graphics, movie playback works fine. Currently installed nvidia driver: nvidia-driver-560-open The display server (X11 or wayland) makes no difference.
