Problem with Qt Multimedia

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 Sounds like an issue with your graphics driver. Does any media player work?

[6EQUJ5]

@KhoaTran-Programmer On https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/installing/on-linux.html the instructions for Debian installation is this:

Install GStreamre on Ubuntu or Debian
Run the following command:

apt-get install ....

Which I'm not sure about. I tried running sudo aptitude install gstreamer which didn't work. Then after typing in sudo aptitude install gstreamer and pressing TAB a bunch of packages came up which I don't know which to install.

Can you clarify how to install on Debian?

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 You should install all the GStreamer plug-in packages.
But I don't think it is related to the installed GStreamer packages: if something needed is missing you will not be able to play a media file, but you should not be logged off.

[6EQUJ5]

@KhoaTran-Programmer The Gstreamer command line tools doesn't work (no such command exists according to terminal even with sudo). But, trying to install the Gstreamer plugins such as gstreamer1.0-plugins-base with sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-base tells me it's already installed.

@jsulm What do you mean "any" media player? The examples on Qt or any media player that is installed? If you mean any old media player GNOME MPlayer works.

@SGaist Aren't I doing that already? By using this version: Qt 5.8.0 for Linux 64-bit (766 MB)

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 Qt 5.8 is for sure not what Debian provides (maybe Unstable?), I guess you installed Qt 5.8 by yourself, right? What @SGaist means is: try with Qt provided by Debian.

[6EQUJ5]

@jsulm Where can I get that? And yes I download the offline installer for Qt 5.8.0 for Linux 64-bit (766 MB) and installed Qt.

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 From Debian? Use apt-get to install it as any other packages.
What you downloaded is not what Debian provides.

[6EQUJ5]

@jsulm What packages do I install? Do I have to install them all separately like qtcreator, qtbase5-dev, etc. or is there a way to install it with one package? If not what are all the packages needed?

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 I don't have Debian here. But you should be able to find out what is needed. No need to install QtCreator from Debian as you already have it. On Ubuntu you can install qt5-default, don't know whether it is same on Debian.

[6EQUJ5]

@jsulm I uninstalled Qt with the maintenance tool. Then installed with sudo aptitude install qt5-default and qtcreator with sudo aptitude install qtcreator .

But, now I get this error Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: multimedia. In the .pro file I have QT += multimedia. I used the same code to test as way above.

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 Then install libqt5multimedia5

[6EQUJ5]

@jsulm After running sudo aptitude install libqtmultimedia5 the same problem happens.

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 qtmultimedia5-dev

[6EQUJ5]

@jsulm I can now compile successfully and run it. But, in the application output I get this:

defaultServiceProvider::requestService(): no service found for - "org.qt-project.qt.mediaplayer"

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 Can you set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable to 1 and then start your app? Post then the output.

[6EQUJ5]

@jsulm How do get to the place where I can do that?

[jsulm]

@6EQUJ5 You can do it in QtCreator: "Projects/Run Settings" in "Run Environment" add that variable.

[6EQUJ5]

@6EQUJ5 Is there something in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/mediaservice ?

[6EQUJ5]

@jsulm The folder mediaservice in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/ doesn't exist.
