Description Christian Müller 2013-12-23 17:49:13 CET 
Description of problem:

The Miro player shipped with Mageia 4b2 (upgraded from mga3) fails to start.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

miro-6.0-4.mga4

How reproducible:

Install miro via rpmdrake, und try to start it, no window comes up. If I try to 
start it from console, I get this output:

using /usr/bin/gdb

Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Damien Lallement 2013-12-24 05:48:41 CET 
It's because cauldron have libtorrent-rasterbar7 and miro 6 needs libtorrent-rasterbar6 to work...

Comment 2 Florian Hubold 2014-02-02 20:49:32 CET 
Well, now the problem is also with Mageia 4. How to fix this? The changes in libtorrent-rasterbar cannot be backported?

CC: (none) => doktor5000
Version: Cauldron => 4
Severity: normal => critical

Comment 3 Florian Hubold 2014-02-02 20:59:10 CET 
FWIW, Mageia 3 also has libtorrent-rasterbar7, and the older mga3 version of miro works just fine. Also rebuilding latest miro from cauldron under Mageia 3, miro works - and that's also using libtorrent-rasterbar7.
Comment 4 Florian Hubold 2014-02-02 21:03:47 CET 
Seems more like some gstreamer plugin or python binding for gstreamer is missing ... or webkit:

Comment 5 Olivier FAURAX 2014-11-09 23:34:13 CET 
Still valid with up-to-date mageia 4.
miro-6.0-4.mga4
python-libtorrent-rasterbar-0.16.17-1.mga4

What about Mageia 5 alpha?

(In reply to Olivier FAURAX from comment #5)

> What about Mageia 5 alpha?

Beta, that is. miro starts up normally, using gstreamer0.10 packages.

Can't confirm this. Just installed Mageia 5 x86_64 beta, and miro still isn't working :-(
Comment 8 Florian Hubold 2014-11-15 14:40:27 CET 
(In reply to Christian Müller from comment #7)
> miro still isn't working :-(

Meaning what exactly? Please at least attach the full output of miro for a clean start (either move away or rename .miro with e.g. "mv ~/.miro/ ~/.miro-old/" and then start miro from a terminal) and the installed version of miro, otherwise that comment is nearly useless.


miro-6.0-9.mga5 starts just fine here.
Comment 9 Christian Müller 2014-11-15 15:54:29 CET 
It's still the same as in my first post: No window comes up.

Clean install of Mageia 5 beta1 64, new user profile, miro-6.0-9.mga5

Please show the output of 
rpm -qa | grep gst | sort
rpm -qa | grep webkit | sort


FWIW, this is what a normal start looks like here (output trimmed down):

Comment 17 Christian Müller 2016-01-03 16:40:37 CET 
I did a default installation of mga5-64 as a vbox virtual machine and upgraded it to cauldron with plasma5-desktop, because I was curious, and noticed that miro works... till I installed task-gnome-minimal. After that it fails to start again.

I think this package should be now dropped as the project seems dead since latest version published 2013-04-08.
