Problem with Qt Multimedia

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 Is there something in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/mediaservice ?

[6EQUJ5]

@jsulm The folder mediaservice in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/ doesn't exist.

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 Looks like media plug-ins are missing.

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 Install libqt5multimedia5-plugins package

[6EQUJ5]

@jsulm I got this now:

(Media-Player:7076): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_ref_sink: assertion 'GST_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 Can you post the output with QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS again?

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 Also: can you play a media file now?

[6EQUJ5]

@jsulm No I cannot. Not with QMediaPlayer. QSoundEffect works though.

What GStreamer package did you install ?

[KhoaTran Programmer]

@6EQUJ5 ,

Your log is not detail enough. You should enable Gstreamer debug, your current is just Qt.

But I guest that, your current Gstreamer plugin is not enough to playback.

One question, what kind of movie content you want to playback?(Mp4, WMV, H264, H265, MP3, ...)

Best regards,
Khoa

[6EQUJ5]

@SGaist I didn't install GStreamer. How to install? Specific instructions please the official GStreamer site doesn't help much at all for Debian.

@KhoaTran-Programmer Firstly, the commands to check if GStreamer is installed doesn't work. How to install? Specifically. The official GStreamer site doesn't help at all for Debian. Also, I would want to play MP4, MP3, AVI, WMV, etc. All those common ones. Doesn't QMediaPlayer support most common ones?

[SGaist]

Because it's not their role. Use your distribution tools to install GStreamer.

Specifically, apt-cache search to see what package are installed and apt-get install to install what you want.

In your case, libgstreamer1.0-dev as well as all the 1.0 plugins packages.

[6EQUJ5]

@SGaist I did that and the same error happens.

[SGaist]

Can you play that file with the gstreamer tools directly ?

[6EQUJ5]

@SGaist How would I do that?

[SGaist]

gst-play-1.0 your_video_file

[6EQUJ5]

@SGaist The command doesn't exist. Even though I installed libgstreamer1.0-dev.

[SGaist]

That's the development package to be able to use the library in your own projects. You need to install the GStreamer tools.

[6EQUJ5]

@SGaist What package do I need to install for the GStreamer tools?

[SGaist]

Please learn to use the tools from your distribution apt-cache search gstreamer | grep tools.
