Gstreamer error only when running app with sudo
Unsolved
QML and Qt Quick
-
When I run my Python/QML app with sudo, it doesn't play the WAV file, and shows the error below. But if I run the app without sudo it works fine and I hear the sound. I am pretty sure I just need to configure something for maybe gstreamer and the root user but I am not sure what to do? Any ideas? I installed X and the i3 window manager on my own.
I am using Ubuntu 20.04 with Python 3.7 and PySide2 5.15 and QML.

Hi,
AFAIK, every recent Linux distribution has disabled root access to X by default. You have to explicitly enable that before calling sudo.

Calling them with sudo from your standard user ?
Can you give an example ?
