Thanks for your report. I can confirm that the current builds are not able to play music. It is needed to identify if it is due to missing gstreamer plugins or if the problem is somewhere else. I have never found the time to generate flatpak packages built with libvlc support. Would you be want to work on that ? The need is mostly gathering information and opinions on the best way to do it. The technical part will be quite small.
>It is needed to identify if it is due to missing gstreamer plugins or if the problem is somewhere else. If it helps, I just tried rebuilding the flatpak against org.kde.Sdk//5.11, and that worked. >I have never found the time to generate flatpak packages built with libvlc support. Would you be want to work on that ? I might be able to. I'm pretty new to flatpaks. Would that require adding libvlc as a module in the elisa .json, changes to the org.kde.platform runtime, or something else?
I've submitted a patch to Phabricator adding libvlc to the elisa flatpak. https://phabricator.kde.org/differential/diff/49752/
