Kid3 Seg faults - qt.multimedia.ffmpeg (Solved)

22 April 2025, 11:11:25

Hi, does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

I noticed yesterday that kid3-qt works on my laptop while sharing the same version number as on my desktop where the app is segfaulting.

Code: [Select]

:~$ kid3-qt
qt.multimedia.ffmpeg: Using Qt multimedia with FFmpeg version n7.1 GPL version 3 or later
Segmentation fault

Yes, works on my other install too, but not this one. Slightly different error today:

Code: [Select]

(kid3-qt:29553): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:00:03.348: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",

{snip - lots of these lines ^} 

Cannot connect to the D-BUS session bus.
qt.multimedia.ffmpeg: Using Qt multimedia with FFmpeg version n7.1 GPL version 3 or later
Segmentation fault

Feels strange to get a screen full of GTK warnings from a QT package?

UPDATE: Scratch that, I was in a root shell

Resume previous error.

I found the solution here:
https://github.com/gcompris/GCompris-qt/issues/298

Removing the package libva-vdpau-driver fixed the issue.

Thanks to whoever updated my subject line as that was the clue I needed.
