Problem with Qt Multimedia
-
@SGaist I didn't install GStreamer. How to install? Specific instructions please the official GStreamer site doesn't help much at all for Debian.
@KhoaTran-Programmer Firstly, the commands to check if GStreamer is installed doesn't work. How to install? Specifically. The official GStreamer site doesn't help at all for Debian. Also, I would want to play MP4, MP3, AVI, WMV, etc. All those common ones. Doesn't QMediaPlayer support most common ones?

Because it's not their role. Use your distribution tools to install GStreamer.
Specifically,
apt-cache searchto see what package are installed andapt-get installto install what you want.In your case,
libgstreamer1.0-devas well as all the 1.0 plugins packages. -

Can you play that file with the gstreamer tools directly ?
-
gst-play-1.0 your_video_file -
That's the development package to be able to use the library in your own projects. You need to install the GStreamer tools.

Please learn to use the tools from your distribution
apt-cache search gstreamer | grep tools. -

What doesn't work ?
You can't read the file using the command ?
-
Seriously, did you even try to search where that file could be found ?
In this case it's the package
gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-appsand the tools package is a dependency of that one. -

gst-play-1.0to work but came up with nothing.Installing
gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-appsallowed me to use thegst-play-1.0command. But, when I try to play a video file (MP4) the same thing happens! I get logged out! -
Then you have determined that it's not a Qt problem. There's something fishy going on with your machine.

You are comparing apple to oranges. Both are completely different OSs with completely different multimedia backends.
I don't know what is going on with your Debian but you sure have something either misconfigured or buggy. However, it's not something Qt related. You should check with the Debian folks.

@SGaist It works fine in Windows 10 though. What could possibly be wrong with Debian Linux?
@6EQUJ5 I would guess bad graphics driver.
You could check the output of dmesg command. In general you should ask this question in a Debian forum or mailing list and attach information about your system (especially graphics hardware). -
