Same for 22.12.2 appimage, both SDL and RtAudio settings segfaults with alsa.

I've added the stdout of both segfaults as attachments to the report.

We fixed some AppImage start-up issues in version 23.04.1. Please try if you can start Kdenlive.

Thank you, I missed your reply (or at least most certainly forgot to test).

I could start the appimage, but when switching to RtAudio backend and applying the setting I still get:

```
ALSA lib /home/appimage/Craft/BC/linux-64-gcc/build/libs/libasound2/work/alsa-lib-1.2.5.1/src/conf.c:4499:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /home/appimage/Craft/BC/linux-64-gcc/share/alsa/alsa.conf

RtApiAlsa::getDeviceCount: control open, card = 0, No such file or directory.

Segmentation fault
```

I have already reported it, but wasn't aware of the needed status change. Doing it now.
Comment 9 emohr 2025-01-11 08:25:18 UTC
Thank you for your feedback. Glad to here it works.
Comment 10 dreamer 2025-01-11 16:15:50 UTC
On the latest Appimage, version 24.12.0-x86_64 I'm not even able to start the program as I get the following error:

Cloud not create video preview window.
There is something wrong with your Kdenlive install or your driver settings, please fix it.


Two instances of this error pop up immediately and after clicking one away the program closes with a Segmentation fault.

This is most likely not related to the error this bug report was created for. Could you please set the status back to RESOLVED and open a new one? Thanks you!

True, but only after that is fixed am I able to confirm that this ticket is resolved.

Until then I'm going to assume that it is not, though.
