Only a white tile

[fionera]

Hi,

I just tried to compile the software, but I only get a white square when rendering. I already tried against multiple video files. I run Sway and compiled against the current sources. I also get the following messages into stdout [1].

Thank you very much :)

It is likely due to missing GStreamer plugins for your file format. Qt plays video with GStreamer. You can check if GStreamer is able to play your file with gst-play-1.0 command.

My bad, didn't notice this line in your log.

defaultServiceProvider::requestService(): no service found for - "org.qt-project.qt.mediaplayer"

This means that Qt plugin for its media player backend is missing. On Debian and its derivatives the plugin is packaged as libqt5multimedia5-plugins. It is plugins/mediaservice/libgstmediaplayer.so in archdatadir (e.g. /usr/lib/qt/ on Arch Linux, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5 on Debian) directory of your Qt installation.
