After doing clean install Eos 6.1 to two laptops I saw that the video app is not opening.
Even if I click the icon nothing is happening. I checked to run this from terminal and I got the below error that I have in screenshot.
i also installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras to see if this fix the error but unfortunately I am getting the same error. The video app is not opening. I didn't had this problem on 6.0 version. The problem is on the 6.1 version of EOS.
Do you have any idea?
the two commands above:
flatpak install io.elementary.video and
flatpak install --system freedesktop org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default//20.08
doesn't work for me... So I uninstalled the video from the app center, then we installed celloid with Faltpak (https://celluloid-player.github.io/installation.html)
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub io.github.celluloid_player.Celluloid
and it worked on my computer... The result is that Celluloid is installed and the Video app is also installed and working fine..
I had the same issue. Elementary OS Videos couldn't play videos. I tried to debug the reason and launched via terminal:
flatpack run io.elementary.video
But there was no error in the terminal. I tried installing various recommended codecs:
sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras libavcodec-extra libdvd.pkg
These measures couldn't help Videos.
So I downloaded Celluloid from AppCenter which weighed about 700MBytes and then removed Celluloid. Voila. Videos runs flawlessly now. I think the reason is the lack of multimedia codecs.
Install io.elementary.video from flatpak daily
flatpak install io.elementary.video
then choose daily build it worked for me.
I believe its been reported that an update is missing from the stable version that is available already in the daily builds. Try adding this command:
flatpak install --system freedesktop org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default//20.08
I've seen a few people report that fix worked for them in a Brazilian user group
I am not a technical person,but the other OS worked nice Would it be better just to forget os6 Can't be done with pissing about tbh
Installing haruna player via flatpak works for me.
