Description James A. Jaworski 2017-05-14 18:50:31 UTC
After using 'yumex-dnf' or Software Centre in Fedora to update gstreamer1-plugins-bad, ffmpeg, h264 codecs, I can no longer Render to File. Kdenlive halts rendering immediately after start and displays the following error message in the status window:

Rendering of /home/lilzebra/kdenlive/projects/untitled.mp4 crashed

Unknown flag: 'p'; Usage: freeze [-cdfvVg] [file | +type ...] -c Write output on stdout, don't remove original. -d If given, melting is done instead. -g Use "greedy" parsing (1.5% worse, 40% faster). -f Forces output file to be generated, even if one already exists, and even if no space is saved by freezeing. -i Image mode. -t Text mode. -v Write freezing statistics. -vv means "draw progress indicator". -V Write version and compilation options.

I am wondering whether it is the 'fedora-multimedia' repo from  'negativo17' and whether it is possible to back out of the updates it made that caused Kdenlive to lose the ability to render video files.

Please try with the actual Kdenlive AppImage version 18.08.2
Run the Appimage from the terminal (press CTRL + ALT + T). Move to the AppImage folder and run the .AppImage: ./Kdenlive*.AppImage
Comment 5 emohr 2019-01-12 16:13:09 UTC
Please try with the current Kdenlive AppImage version 18.12.1b

I am getting this issue on Fedora 29, with KDENlive 18.2.2 (RPM Fusion repo is enabled). Freeze version is reported as "@(#) freeze.c 2.5.0 2/7/93 leo@ipmce.su"
Comment 9 emohr 2019-03-27 16:20:22 UTC
Please try with the upcoming refactoring version. 

Kdenlive_Nightly_Appimage https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Kdenlive_Nightly_Appimage_Build/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/ 

We fixed there some Fedora Melt issues.
Comment 10 Joao Bueno 2019-03-27 16:32:25 UTC
I figured out what was going on here: - Fedora places another exectutable in /usr/bin/freeze - an archive app that has nothing to do with video, but which outputs are generic and misleading enough to confuse users. -manually setting KDEnlive to /usr/bin/mlt-melt on startup (after removing incorrectly configured "/usr/bin/freeze" ) solves the problem.
