DetailsDescription: Smplayer fails to launch giving the following message:
"This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin 'xcb'." Additional info: * This problem started after updating "qt5-base-5.2.1-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz" to "qt5-base-5.3.0-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz" as well as "qt5-script-5.2.1-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz" to "qt5-script-5.3.0-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz". * Downgrading those two packages to their old versions solves the problem and Smplayer launches as expected. * Using the latest qt-packages mentioned above (5.3.0-3) while replacing "smplayer-14.3.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz" with "smplayer-svn" from AUR solves the problem and Smplayer launches as expected. Steps to reproduce: Try to launch "smplayer-14.3.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz" with the latest qt5-base and qt5-script. Solution: Seems like the package for smplayer needs to be rebuilt with the latest qt5. This is my first bugreport. Please take this into consideration. |
