    I'm trying to use a simple Audio QML element but I get the error "The QMediaPlayer object does not have a valid service"
    I'm using Qt5.10 on Linux Mint, the same code runs fine on Qt5.11.2 on Ubuntu 16.04

    I've installed every possible gstreamer dev package but to no avail.

    Any suggestions on how to proceed?

      Hi,

      What version GStreamer did you install ?

        I couldn't find which one I needed.
        So I installed both 0.10 and 1.0.
        I'm not sure whether they can co-exist though

        Which one do I need?
        And is there a way to find out which libs I'm still missing, if any?

          Start your application with QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment set to 1, you'll have more information about what is failing.

              @Marc_Van_Daele said in The QMediaPlayer object does not have a valid service:

              /home/seppe/Qt/5.11.1/gcc_64/lib/libQt5MultimediaGstTools.so.5

              Can you run ldd on that file ?

                  Looks good indeed. Can you get the exact version that was installed by the packages manager ?

                    Not sure which packages you want and how to get the corresponding info. Note that I'm running Mint 17 Qiana.
                    I executed the following command
                    apt-cache policy libqt5multimedia5 libqt5multimedia5-plugins libqt5multimediawidgets5
                    and this outputs

                      I meant the GStreamer version.

                      Note that since you are running a pretty old version of your Distribution. So it might just be that your GStreamer version is too old. So you either have to rebuild the plugin for your version of GStreamer or update your distribution.

                        I hope to get this fixed without updating the distribution but if all else fails, I'll have to do that indeed.

                        apt-cache policy gstreamer1.0-x libgstreamer1.0-0 returns the following

                          What do you get if you run nm -D /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0 | grep _gst_value_list_type ?

                            The command you gave returned nothing on the Mint setup. (On my working environment, Ubuntu 16.04, it returned 00000000003289c0 B _gst_value_list_type)

                            Below is the output (on Mint) of a slightly modified command

                            seppe@Seppe-desktop ~ $ nm -D /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0 | grep gst_value_list

                              So it looks like you have to different versions of gstreamer installed on these two systems. Can you compare that ?

                                On Ubuntu 16.04 I have the following.
                                Should I be able to install this version on Linux Mint 17?

                                  Version 1.2.4 Vs 1.8.3. That's a pretty big gap.

                                  Your Linux Mint is pretty old. You should consider updating it. Otherwise you may want to rebuild the Qt GStreamer backend for your Mint version.

                                    @SGaist Can you give me a pointer on how to rebuild the Qt GStreamer?

                                      Not Qt GStreamer, the QtMultimedia module GStreamer plugin.

                                      Download the sources from the installer.

                                      Then:

                                      mkdir build_Qt_multimedia
                                      cd build_Qt_multimedia
                                      /path/to/your/Qt/qmake /path/to/qtmultimedia/src/plugins/
                                      make
                                      make install

                                        After a long delay (sorry for that), I could finally try this
                                        I downloaded the sources from http://ftp2.nluug.nl/languages/qt/official_releases/qt/5.11/5.11.2/single/ (since downloading from the installer was extremely slow)

                                        Next, I ran

                                        /home/mvandaele/Qt/5.11.2/gcc_64/bin/qmake /home/mvandaele/temp/Qt5.11.2/src/qt-everywhere-src-5.11.2/qtmultimedia/src/plugins
                                        

                                        but running make afterwards resulted in

                                        mvandaele@nb-mvandaele:~/temp/Qt5.11.2/build$ make
                                        cd m3u/ && ( test -e Makefile || /home/mvandaele/Qt/5.11.2/gcc_64/bin/qmake -o Makefile /home/mvandaele/temp/Qt5.11.2/src/qt-everywhere-src-5.11.2/qtmultimedia/src/plugins/m3u/m3u.pro ) && make -f Makefile 
                                        /home/mvandaele/Qt/5.11.2/gcc_64/mkspecs/features/qt_plugin.prf:59: Cannot write file /mkspecs/modules-inst/qt_plugin_qtmultimedia_m3u.pri: Cannot create parent directory
                                        Makefile:48: recipe for target 'sub-m3u-make_first' failed
                                        make: *** [sub-m3u-make_first] Error 3
                                        

                                        Any ideas?

                                          Can you try to run qmake on the whole QtMultimedia module ? You can always only build the plugin after.
