First launch KDEnlive complains

Kdenlive 20.12.0 complains about a possible missing recommended plugin:
frei0r-plugin from MLT 6.24.0

That is surprising is that:
$ rpm -qa | grep mlt
lib64mlt++3-6.24.0-2.mga8
mlt-6.24.0-2.mga8
mlt-kdenlive-6.24.0-2.mga8
lib64mlt6-6.24.0-2.mga8

Also:
$ urpmf -f frei0r-plugins

returns no one.

So. This error? at first launch is cosmetic?
Not really user-friendly.

Assigning KDE Team and Kdenlive maintainer.

frei0r is recommended with kdenlive but I think as kdenlive is installed by default in the ISOs and ISOs don't install any recommended pkgs this is why it complains about missing dependency.

Comment 2 Aurelien Oudelet 2020-12-28 12:01:28 CET
Yeah, but which package provide it?

$ urpmf -f frei0r-plugins

returns no one.
Comment 3 David GEIGER 2020-12-28 12:28:59 CET
$ urpmq --whatprovides frei0r-plugins
frei0r

This is a bad user experience.
I should check if doing a "personalized" install will install it.

if you use "urpmi --downgrade kdenlive" I'm pretty sure that the recommended pkgs will be installed.
Comment 6 Nicolas Lécureuil 2021-01-08 15:25:30 CET
is it something we can add a require instead of recommands ?

For better user experience, frei0r package should be part of required packages for Kdenlive if it complains at first boot about missing one, IMO.
