Description:
nheko is a matrix client that can display messages, including video messages. Without the gst-libav package installed, nheko is unable to display video messages. Even worse, it doesn't show that anywhere in the UI, only a warning printed to the command line tells you that gstreamer is missing a required plugin. Additional info: * package version(s): 0.11.3-2 Steps to reproduce: * Install nheko with minimal dependencies (especially no non-required gstreamer plugins) * Try to view a video message |
This task depends upon

Users are expected to pay attention to pacman output during pkg
installation. The dep is technically covered already because
"gst-libav" is an optdep of "qt5-multimedia" which is a direct dep
of nheko. PM has been notified just in case they would like to
make the optdep more explicit.

On second thoughts, will leave this open for the PM to decide.
