[bug] Gstreamer issues under Arch Linux when using AppImage
@mtsgrd, looks like the same error message, but you guys are building on Ubuntu not arch right?
It feels to me like you either need these deps locally, or they need to be bundled with the Tauri config below. @PavelLaptev this has likely changed as a result of that .webp
file you added in app settings recently. Could we consider replacing it with a gif or finding a different solution?
@mtsgrd GIF is an outdated and bulky format, no GIF files on my shift! I prefer WEBP due to its lightweight nature. However, we can go with PNG for now. That's strange that TAURI doesn't support WEBP.
Also not a fan of the GIF format. Looks like its just the AppImage bundler that requires extra config options for media playback as adding it can pretty significantly increase the bundle size.
Makes some sense that they would disable this by default to help reduce package sizes since most apps do not need media playback functionality.
I'm working on custom theming now. And probably all raster images will be replaced with SVGs. Let me know what you decided about this, I can replace images with PNGs if TAURI allows it

Yeah, I would find it a bit difficult to defend adding 15-30mb (as mentioned in the screenshot) for one item at this time.

Let's go with this, but let me know if you foresee more media usage within the app?
@mtsgrd @PavelLaptev I think the issue is actually the webm
video file you added not the webp images.

Ohhh.. It felt like we were talking past each other. I did mean the .webm
file, but mistakenly wrote .webp
🤦
Just merged a PR. I replaced WebM with MP4. Does it work?
@PavelLaptev I am currently unable to test (my dev environment just melted down), but I doubt this will fix anything. The AppImage needs a bunch of extra libraries bundled to play any kind of video file, hence the suggestion of GIF since it does not need video playback libraries to provide very basic animation.
I see. Let's do is without video at all then 🙂
I'll close the issue; looks like it's resolved. 🙂
As of 0.10.23, the AppImage crashes when you click on your username at the bottom of the sidebar.
