Can't make video work

[lgbaldoni]

Packaged 0.8.0 on openSUSE Tumbleweed, application start and it loads and properly decodes a file, but it doesn't show anything in the video tab.

This is what I see on startup:

** (__main__.py:7269): WARNING **: 18:36:19.319: AT-SPI: Could not obtain desktop path or name


** (__main__.py:7269): WARNING **: 18:36:19.325: atk-bridge: get_device_events_reply: unknown signature

What could be possibly missing?

Full disclosure: I'm using a simulated webcam via v4l2loopback. It creates /dev/video0 and according to strace, CoBang is opening it. It also works from a web browser.

Could you please give more info about your system: GTK version, GNOME version (if you use GNOME), GStreamer version?

[lgbaldoni]

Using GTK v3.24.29, plasma5 5.22.2.1 and GStreamer 1.18.4.

Also on launch, I see this error, but not always:

** (gst-plugin-scanner-x86_64:15184): CRITICAL **: 19:27:53.514: Couldn't g_module_open libpython. Reason: /usr/lib64/python3.8/config-3.8-x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.8.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Further detail I forgot to mention; I'm running openSUSE Tumbleweed in a VirtualBox VM, but that shouldn't be a problem, should it?

[hongquan]

Using GTK v3.24.29, plasma5 5.22.2.1 and GStreamer 1.18.4.

This is almost the same as Ubuntu 21.04 on my PC. But these warning message I never seen before, look like they are from lower level than the application.

Couldn't g_module_open libpython

Sound like something wrong with your OpenSUSE installation.

I'm running openSUSE Tumbleweed in a VirtualBox VM

I remember when I tested CoBang in VirtualBox, I faced something wrong, that I had to warn in README. But not remember what is exactly.

I have a /usr/lib64/libpython3.8.so.1.0 on my system. Just not in that path and not the generic .so which is reserved to the linker, AFAIK.

I remember when I tested CoBang in VirtualBox, I faced something wrong, that I had to warn in README. But not remember what is exactly.

No USB subsystem by default, perhaps?

Anyway, this is what I see: how come the video source is not detected?

New warning:

(__main__.py:24854): dbind-WARNING **: 11:29:51.345: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

(this is the only one now).

dbus-monitor shows some activity, and the following error lines appear only when cobang is running:

Couldn't debug further without knowing what to look for.

No, it is related to graphic (display/render). Could you test with OpenSUSE on real machine and real webcam?
