Description Flamey 2024-06-18 19:04:25 UTC 
SUMMARY
If you have FFmpeg 6, the current latest stable version, Spectacle won't start because of some missing libraries.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Check that your version of FFmpeg is 6.1.1
2. Attempt to launch Spectacle, whether via keybind, terminal, or Application Launcher.

OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma Workspace will send a notification named "Launching Spectacle (Failed)" with the content: "Could not activate remote peer 'org.kde.spectacle': startup job failed"

EXPECTED RESULT
Spectacle launches normally.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 6.9.5-arch1-1
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.8.0
