Openshot mlt error

Hi all.
I have just installed this wonderful disto on my old laptop, but I have a problem with openshot. I have tried "pacman -Syu openshot",  "yaourt openshot-bzr" also I tried to build with abs, getting same error. I have tried to search on this forum and google but nothing worked.
This is what I get running openshot from temrinal as user:

------------------------- ERROR 1 ------------------------------
Failed to import 'from openshot import main'
Error Message: cannot import name main
----------------------------------------------------------------

(process:7179): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
	Using the fallback 'C' locale.
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.3.1)
--------------------------------
Process no longer exists: 5829.  Creating new pid lock file.

------------------------- ERROR 2 ------------------------------
Failed to import 'from openshot.openshot import main'
Error Message: unsupported locale setting
----------------------------------------------------------------

OpenShot has failed to import some of the Python files or libraries 
required for our application to run.  Here are some trouble shooting
tips:

Tip 1) Check if MLT can be successfully imported in Python.  Run the 
 following commands, and see if any errors are displayed.  If you get 
 an error, you need to investigate the correct way to install MLT.
 NOTE:  Do not type the $ or >> characters in the examples below.

       $ python
       >> import mlt
       >> mlt.Factory().init()

Tip 2) If MLT is working from the first example, then the next tip is 
 to look at the above error messages very closely, and google for more 
 help.  It's likely the problem is already reported, and maybe there is
 a simple work-around.  Also, you can search for bugs or report a new 
 bug at [url]https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot[/url].  Good luck!

Thanks

Re: Openshot mlt error

Hi, yellowhat, welcome to the forums.
When pasting code, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and more convenient to scroll through.

I get an error, but openshot starts fine

[karol@black ~]$ openshot

------------------------- ERROR 1 ------------------------------
Failed to import 'from openshot import main'
Error Message: cannot import name main
----------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.3.1)
--------------------------------
Process no longer exists: 9207.  Creating new pid lock file.

Re: Openshot mlt error

Reinstalling arch from zero and installing qt before openshot worked. Now it starts.

Thanks to all

Re: Openshot mlt error

yellowhat,
that was brute force.

Nevertheless please mark this thread now as [SOLVED] by editing the title of your first post.

Re: Openshot mlt error

The qt issue should have been resolved https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25119 but I still get a segfault w/o it.
I requested reopening that bug report.

Re: Openshot mlt error

After the recent mlt update (mlt 0.7.6-1, brought into [Community] on 2011-11-12), it seems to work on both of my computers, even w/o qt installed.
