Description Axel Braun 2024-04-27 18:30:46 UTC
Since Plasma 6, videos aren't played anymore in gwenview. Sound is there, but screen remains black.
changing the video backend from kaffeine to vlc player does not change the result

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Gwenview 25.08.0 (the latest released version)?
Comment 4 Axel Braun 2025-09-04 16:56:41 UTC
I can confirm that it works in the latest version again (Plasma 6.4.4, Framework 6.17.0)
