Description Talya 2024-10-03 17:40:22 UTC
Created attachment 174375 [details]
Screengrab of the behaviour with sample MP4 and OGV files downloaded for purpose (WEBM behaviour identical to MP4)

SUMMARY
DragonPlayer fails to play all video files. Tested .webm, .mp4 and .ogx.
The first two resulted in the title bar displaying the video name, but the rest of the app behaved as if no media was loaded.
The OGV resulted in some marvelous, Windows 95-like stutters, followed by the same behaviour as the first two.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Double click a video file with DragonPlayer set as your video player of choice
OR
1. Select a video file
2. Open with>DragonPlayer
OR
1. Open DragonPlayer
2. Click on "Play File"
3. Select any video file

OBSERVED RESULT
Video not played. Other than title bar, DragonPlayer behaves as if no file was selected.

EXPECTED RESULT
Video plays normally

(this line gets printed so many times it fills the buffer and everything that was printed before is gone)
trying to select a file the second time, or trying to click the "play" button at the top:

You'll want to talk to your distro, they are installing a deprecated and unmaintained phonon backend.
