Description:
This forum thread pretty much says it all:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=171010

There are workarounds listed there, but if I install a simple application such as this one I expect it to just work.
What I got instead is completely non-functional.
No Icons/controls. The workaround is to fake a specific DE.
With the gst backend I get no video or audio.
With the vlc backend I got video once, no audio either.
Seriously, this is supposed to show videos, it simply does not work at all.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
2.3-1
* config and/or log files etc.
Openbox, ALSA


Steps to reproduce:
Just install it and see how it doesn't work. Maybe it works on KDE or GNOME, but I don't care for DEs. Programs should work independent of a DE.
This task depends upon

Just tested minitube. I get audio but no video. It also segfaulted once when I used the "back" button in the GUI.

@OP: is this still an issue?

@xyproto: which phonon backend? if gstreamer, do you have all necessary plugins installed?
Comment by Alexander F. Rødseth (xyproto) - Wednesday, 06 September 2017, 14:55 GMT
@arojas, thanks for the input. I'm not sure which phonon backend is used by minitube (where does it say?), but these packages are installed: phonon-qt4 phonon-qt4-gstreamer phonon-qt5 phonon-qt5-gstreamer gstreamer qt-gstreamer gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-base-libs gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-ugly (I just installed the ugly package to check if it would have any effect).

Try gst-libav
Comment by Alexander F. Rødseth (xyproto) - Wednesday, 06 September 2017, 19:57 GMT
Thanks, that made minitube work here. I think it would make sense if gst-libav was added to optdepends.
Comment by Antonio Rojas (arojas) - Tuesday, 12 September 2017, 06:27 GMT
It is an optdepend of phonon-gstreamer, where it belongs. minitube also works with phonon-vlc, in which case it doesn't need any additional plugins.
