After the 23.03.31 Manjaro update, Gwenview hangs when playing an .mp4 file and after it finishes, you go to the next item, be that a pic or vid. You see the little wheel spinning in the center and can not but force the application quit. There is no such bug when the video is still playing or when you move backwards. Also, changing to the Browse overview in Gwenview once the video has finished playing hangs the application. There was a similar bug some years ago, fixed without confirmation, which might have been Qt related: show_bug.cgi?id=344809 The bug didn’t exist before the 2 most recent update cycles. Reinstalling Gwenview, rebooting, to no avail. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a folder with pics and MP4 files, last file should not be an MP4. 2. Go to browse overview, select the MP4 file and let it play to the end. 3. Try to go to the next item. OBSERVED RESULT Gwenview hangs and can only be forced quit. EXPECTED RESULT Next file is shown.

Seems I solved the issue by installing phonon-qt5-vlc (0.11.3-2) sudo pacman -Sy phonon-qt5-vlc Gwenview also plays videos without screen tearing now. I don’t know why I never heard about that video-backend option before! Oh and I also forcedly reinstalled by graphics driver because it was recommended somewhere to reinstall third party software (like my Nvidia driver, but also AUR stuff …) after every. I don’t know if this was needed to solve the above issue though. In my case it was, from tty: sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-nvidia
