Unable to play video

[Jonathan Levanon]

Hi

I'm using qt 5.10. My app runs fine on 3 different computer with ubuntu 16.04, but I'm trying to deploy it on 4th one and video playing is crashing the app.
I ran starce on it, and I get the following message after the video is opened -
access("/home/innereye/Qt5.10.0/5.10.0/gcc_64/plugins/video/gstvideorenderer/.", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/home/innereye/Desktop/0.2.0/video/gstvideorenderer/.", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

I've installed qt from the installer, and also installed qtmultimedia5-dev

On the computer that do run, this line does not show when running the same application.

Any suggestions?

@Jonathan-Levanon What OS is running on that computer?
Did you build your app on that computer?

[Jonathan Levanon]

No, it was built on another computer.
Running on ubuntu 16.04

[jsulm]

@Jonathan-Levanon Check output of

ldd YOUREXE

to see which Qt libs it really uses. Could be that system Qt libs are used. Also qtmultimedia5-dev is only needed if you want to build your app.

@jsulm
I think ldd output is ok -

@Jonathan-Levanon Does /home/innereye/Qt5.10.0/5.10.0/gcc_64/plugins/video/gstvideorenderer/ exist and is there anything inside?

[Jonathan Levanon]

No. But it does not also exist on the computer that can play the videos...

[jsulm]

@Jonathan-Levanon If the app is crashing you should debug it to see where exactly it crashes. This strace errors are not necessarily related to the crash.

[Jonathan Levanon]

This is the output I get when it is crashing

(myApp:2322): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_caps_copy: assertion 'GST_IS_CAPS (caps)' failed

(myApp:2322): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/glib2.0-7ZsPUq/glib2.0-2.48.2/./gobject/gtype.c:4273: type id '0' is invalid

And for mp4 files I get:

Hi,

Might be a silly question but did you check that you have the GStreamer plugin packages installed on that machine ?

[Jonathan Levanon]

Yes. The weird thing is that on this computer qt works with the 0.10 version of gstreamer, and on the others with 1.0. Can I change it?
Both are installed (including plugins)

[Jonathan Levanon]

@jsulm I've compiled on the same computer, still get the same errors :(

[Jonathan Levanon]

Update - After a very long day, turns out that opencv lib was linked to gstreamer0.10, qt to 1.0. This did not work well obviously.
When compiling opencv with linking to gstreamer1.0, works ok.
