digikam-freeworld, with mediaplayer A/V (ffmpeg) support

[pgnd]

Please describe why this package is not eligible for Fedora ?

digikam can be built with qtav/ffmpeg for audio/video mediaplayer support.

Fedora doesn't ship FFMPEG, so their digikam package doesn't use it.

Is this software redistributable ? Is this software an alternate version of a Fedora provided package ?

yes & yes.

digikam is currently built for Fedora 35/36:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/digikam

but, @ spec

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/digikam/blob/rawhide/f/digikam.spec#_171

explicitly DISABLES mediaplayer support,

-DENABLE_MEDIAPLAYER:BOOL=OFF

required for video/audio thumbnail/player support

digikam's MEDIAPLAYER support requires

optional deps of libqtav & libffmpeg

libqtav     opt     >= 1.12.0   http://www.qtav.org     To play video and audio (ENABLE_MEDIAPLAYER=on)     
libffmpeg   opt     >= 3.3.x    http://www.ffmpeg.org   To play video and audio (ENABLE_MEDIAPLAYER=on), libavformat, libavutil, libavcodec used to extract video metadata
