[BUG] Video wallpapers crash it in Ubuntu 20.10 #56

Closed gekonto closed 4 months ago

hello, I wrote it originally on the 2.1 version but I thought that since the problem continued through the fork version I should write it here, just in case this helps someone else, original issue here: https://github.com/cheesecakeufo/komorebi/issues/246

Something just ocurred to me; try installing gstreamer1.0-libav, maybe that's what's missing:

sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-libav

no, it is installed, I tried removing it just in case that's the problem but it wasn't so I reinstalled it. So no, that's not it, something else messes it up

Hi, so today I finally got some time to look this up. I created a fresh 20.10 VM, and was able to install komorebi without any issue; so the problem must be something in the upgrade that messed it up, somehow.

If it seems related to video wallpapers, then are you able to watch videos without any issue? Try using mpv like this to check for hardware acceleration:

mpv -hwdec myVideo.mp4

yeah, I watch videos with no trouble, maybe if I completely remove komorebi from my computer fixes it just in case upgrade messed it up, I will try this and let you know

gekonto commented 3 years ago

nope, didn't work

rsubtil commented 3 years ago

Yes, but did you try the command I pasted above?

gekonto commented 3 years ago

yes, it worked fine
