pyTranscriber error

I installed pyTranscriber in order to (try to) generate captions from a video.
The problem is that pyTranscriber crashes once I press the button to select the video to open.
From the terminal, this is the error I receive:

$pyTranscriber

Gtk-Message: 07:52:18.257: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"
Gtk-Message: 07:52:18.257: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

(pyTranscriber:4112): Gtk-WARNING **: 07:52:18.274: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:7996:1: '/*' in comment block

(pyTranscriber:4112): Gtk-WARNING **: 07:53:09.604: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

Aborted (core dumped)

I do not know how to solve this. My first attempts actually ended up breaking up the system (I already recovered from that).
Does any one know how I can fix this?

Many thanks,
bigoten

Re: pyTranscriber error

That icon lookup path looks weird, what is your GTK theme supposed to be? Post the coredump and

printenv
pacman -Qs qt5

as googling for that bogus path turns up https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=266852 for example where the issue was a broken XDG_DATA_DIR variable. Some further checking this is actually using pyqt5 so your qt5 theme/config would be relevant, can you start other qt5/pyqt5 tools?

In general see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unifor … in_Qt_apps as well
