Inside systemsettings -> desktop effects. I click the video button for e.g. Invert. I'm given a play button but when I click it nothing happens. Using Kubuntu 14.04 with Neon packages. Reproducible: Always
Videos are downloaded from the interwebz, invert is divx encoded. Afaik QML uses gstreamer -> can you gst-play http://files.kde.org/plasma/kwin/effect-videos/invert.mp4
Please answer the question from comment #1 whether gst-play can play the video.
Konsole says: gst-play: command not found I'm using KDE Neon now. Is it a packaging issue?
Seems to be provided by gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-apps
It still says command not found after installing gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-apps The binary it gets is called /usr/bin/gst-play-1.0 But when running it: pascal@pascal-x1:~$ gst-play-1.0 http://files.kde.org/plasma/kwin/effect-videos/invert.mp4 Press 'k' to see a list of keyboard shortcuts. Now playing http://files.kde.org/plasma/kwin/effect-videos/invert.mp4 ERROR No URI handler implemented for "http". for http://files.kde.org/plasma/kwin/effect-videos/invert.mp4 ERROR debug information: gsturidecodebin.c(1427): gen_source_element (): /GstPlayBin:playbin/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0 Reached end of play list.
also, the video button in the settings module still doesn't work.
I just downloaded the file and played it with gst-play-1.0 on a debian testing system. Can you try to download it first?
did it, it's missing a codec. pascal@pascal-x1:~$ wget http://files.kde.org/plasma/kwin/effect-videos/invert.mp4 --2016-08-30 12:13:54-- http://files.kde.org/plasma/kwin/effect-videos/invert.mp4 Resolving files.kde.org (files.kde.org)... 195.135.221.71, 2001:67c:2178:7::71 Connecting to files.kde.org (files.kde.org)|195.135.221.71|:80... connected.

Reassigning to neon to have the dependencies updated
https://packaging.neon.kde.org/plasma/kwin.git/commit/?id=72a786183b7c5c710f5d0247430066135b6851be FTR: - kwin should assert needed decoders as runtime dependencies via cmake - qtmm should adhoc install codecs via available api https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-base-libs/html/gst-plugins-base-libs-gstpbutilsinstallplugins.html instead of being useless
When will the fix be available in KDE Neon User edition for verification?
