Can't play audio

[hermann-p]

Composer & operating system versions

Composer: git latest 2023-05-03
OS: Linux (NixOS)

What is the problem?

The UI works, I can import audio files and text, drag around notes export result files etc.
But when I click on "Play (P)", nothing happens.
During start up I get following error message:

QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName: No matching signal for on_actionVideoFile_triggered()

Steps to reproduce

I built the app with the following nix expression, against

• qt 5.15.9
• qt phonon 4.11.1
• qt phonon-backend-gstreamer 4.10.0
• ffmpeg-full 5.1.3

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { } }:

pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
  name = "performous-composer";
  src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "performous";
    repo = "composer";
    rev = "master";
    sha256 = "sha256-Xz0NlVBLTAHbt9d6MBMn8lqxAJz417B+aFunSGjX17U=";
  };
  buildInputs = with pkgs; [
    qt5.qtbase
    ffmpeg-full
    qt5.qtmultimedia
    libsForQt5.phonon
    libsForQt5.phonon-backend-gstreamer
    libsForQt5.libqtav
  ];
  nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [ cmake extra-cmake-modules ];
  dontWrapQtApps = true;
}

I had the same while building from scratch again. I had to install

sudo apt install libqt5multimedia5-plugins

to get it to play audio

Let me know if it works then we'll close the issue :)

I have the same issue - or a very similar one. I am using performous-composer 2.0 installed via apt on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS.

When I press P to play the song, nothing happens, only the vertical line indicating the position starts shaking a bit, but it doesn't move forward. libqt5multimedia5-plugins is already installed.

This is the output on the terminal:

Same issue here. When pressing Play (P), the playback cursor shakes but does not move forward.

@hermann-p @Tuupertunut can either of you try the fix GH-copilot created listed in #58 ?
