Warning qt6 v6.6.0-1 upgrade makes shotcut timeline not to be showed

Hello community,

Today, I upgrade my Artix and saw that qt6 v6.5.3-1 was upgraded to 6.6.0-1

Then I opened my shotcut to continue working on my channel videos and I saw that the timeline was completely white: I cannot see nothing but a white square. So, it is impossible to edit a video.

I changed the visualization from OpenGl to mesa (software) but that doesn't fix the problem.

I examine the Shotcut's application log.

I saw a warning:
[Warning] <MLT> mlt_repository_init: failed to dlopen /usr/lib/mlt-7/libmltopencv.so (libopencv_tracking.so.408: no se puede abrir el fichero del objeto compartido: No existe el fichero o el directorio)
However, mlt is installed although world version is 7.18.0-4 and extra is 7.20.0-1

I installed, then, the arch version but that doesn't also fix the problem.

So, I desinstalled shotcut and its dependencies and I installed shotcut again: The problem remains.

Then, I decide to downgrade qt6 version and... Now it works.

So, I think, I have to wait for a new version of Shotcut because it has a serious problem with this new 6.6.0 version of Qt.

Anyway the mlt warning is still on.

Anyone have another idea?

Thank you all. I was a Debian user but now, I am an Artix user and I like it very much. I dón't like systemd.

Shotcut v.23.09.29-2 has been published on archlinux last sunday 22th.

This upgrade fixes the problem.
