[SOLVED] Dolphin 14.11.97 no video preview in information panel

Hi all, I've noticed that on last version of dolphin, I can't see the video preview on the information panel... When I click on the start button nothing gonna happen... I can't figure out if it's a problem of dolphin or if I miss something?

EDIT: Also Dragon Player doesn't work anymore.. Are the two problems linked?

Dolphin > info.. It's the last one in official repository.. I've also installed plasma-next removing kde-workspace like it's written in the wiki

Looks like they forgot to bump the version number a while ago. What's the output of

pacman -Qs phonon

Do you have all gstreamer plugins installed? It works fine for me.

Hi debbio,
what happens if you start dolphin in the terminal, doesn't it output any error when you try to start the video preview?

Re: [SOLVED] Dolphin 14.11.97 no video preview in information panel

Hi! This is what I receive:

 dolphin(28326) KSambaSharePrivate::findSmbConf: KSambaShare: Could not find smb.conf! 
dolphin(28326)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:
QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to PhononWidget "", which already has a layout
dolphin(28326)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:

dolphin(28326)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:
dolphin(28326)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:

I've tried also to create a new user to see if it could be a configuration/home problem but I'm thinking I'm missing some libs.. maybe with plasma5 and removing kde4...

Phonon uses gstreamer 1, you're missing most gst-plugins packages

Maybe you can try to install the packages phonon-qt4-vlc and phonon-qt5-vlc and check if the vlc phonon backend works.

too slow in typing, sorry

Re: [SOLVED] Dolphin 14.11.97 no video preview in information panel

@arojas: Holy sh***!!!! I was convinced it used gstreamer 0.10!!! You're right!!!! Thank you so much!!
My question now is: why there are 2 gstreamer? I've seen gstreamer0.10 is needed also by qt5-multimedia

gstreamer 1.x is the new version which phonon already supports but Qt5 does not.
