Hello,

I wasn’t able to get videos to play in pdfpc with the current version of the package. I’ve tried both with the `?autoplay` flag and without (i.e. by clicking on the video). Both worked with the previous version, which I tested around 2018-05-10.

Could it be due to an update to one of the dependency package?

Steps to reproduce:
Launch a presentation with videos using pdfpc, or use the one listed as an example ( https://pdfpc.github.io/demo/pdfpc-video-example.zip ). Upon reaching a slide with a video, it doesn't play if it had the `?autostart` flag, or doesn't play by clicking on it.

Extra notes:
Launching a video with `gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=video.mp4 ! decodebin ! autovideosink` works, which would seem to rule out gst.

Thank you for your help.
This task depends upon

Seems to be a regression in last pdfpc release 4.1.2 , the upstream have reverted the corresponding change in master branch [1],and this has also been reported to debian [2]. I will backport this fix to pdfpc 4.1.2-2 .

I'll wait for the next release, then. Thanks for looking it up.
