Created attachment 473396 [details] emerge --info Since updating to corebird-1.5 videos can't be played anymore. I emerged corebird with the gstreamer USE flag and also have gst-plugins-hls installed.
What happens exactly, if you try to open a video? Have you tried to rebuild its dependencies already?
I have the same problem. It seems there was a problem at some point with gst detection, adding this in the ebuild: --disable-gst-check $(use_enable gstreamer video) Apparently, the gst-check now works correctly, but the --enable-video flag...

Apparently, --enable or --disable does the same thing, it disables the stuff...
I can confirm it, too! I pullrequested a fix at https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/4728.

The USE flag "gtk" on media-libs/gst-plugins-bad needs to be added as dependency. I already had gst-plugins-bad-1.10 installed, but without the gtk use flag. So instead of videos I got the message "Could not create a gtksink. Need gst-plugins-bad >= 1.6" Emerging gst-plugins-bad with USE=+gtk resolved that issue.
