Solved this by installing gnome3.dconf and enabling programs.dconf.enable = true;.

The gif rendering still fails but the other formats (webm/mp4) work after this change.

I noticed lots of reports upstream of issues like this. I feel like they all could be using a too recent vala version for this application.

So I was able to reproduce this issue, but after compiling with a pinned vala_0_40 the issue ceased Peek 2019-03-27 10-25

I'm still experiencing this issue by the way. Needed to install dconf and enable it, like described above.

NixOS / nixpkgs
