When exporting video to any other format, shotcut calls /usr/bin/qmelt, but qmelt not in tree. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open any video file 2. Choose "Export" 3. Press "Export" button 4. Look in log Actual Results: In journal: /usr/bin/nice: «/usr/bin/qmelt»: No such file or directory Failed with exit code 127 In console: [Debug ] <MeltJob::start> "/usr/bin/qmelt" ("-verbose", "-progress2", "-abort", "/tmp/shotcut-ACxlju.mlt") [Info ] <AbstractJob::onFinished> job failed with 127 Expected Results: Convert file to another format media-libs/mlt-6.10.0::gentoo USE="ffmpeg frei0r gtk kdenlive melt opengl python qt5 sdl xml -compressed-lumas -debug -fftw -jack -libav -libsamplerate -lua (-opencv) -rtaudio -ruby (-vdpau) -xine" CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx sse sse2" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" 3314 KiB maybe need qmelt in tree? or symlink melt -> qmelt
>> maybe need qmelt in tree? or symlink melt -> qmelt symlinking will not work because qmelt is a totally different app - part from webvfx Actually none of the shotcut portage versions do work, because the package needs an mlt engine that is missing totally in Gentoo. The problem is described here: https://github.com/mltframework/shotcut/issues/284 and here: https://forum.shotcut.org/t/usr-bin-nice-usr-bin-qmelt-no-such-file-or-directory/1414 Basically openshot needs: https://github.com/mltframework/webvfx and without it it is non functional when you get to export things.
I've created a very basic ebuild for webvfx, but it needs some polishing and some changes in the ebuild of shotcut, so I do not upload this here... but the discussion can be found here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8311200.html#8311200
How much sense does it even make to keep shotcut in tree if it is missing a critical RDEPEND?
Well if you include the webvfx ebuild in tree it makes sense :) Besides shotcut is a very popular application (at least in other distributions) and removing it from Gentoo will be shame :)
Then someone should step up and maintain the required package.
Shotcut needs webvfx to export, unfortunately there's no ebuild in the tree and the linked ebuild in comment 2 does not work, fails on install with: ================================================= Files matching a file type that is not allowed: usr/lib/libwebvfx.so.1.1.0 * ERROR: media-libs/webvfx-1.1.0::tcgOverlay failed: * multilib-strict check failed! ================================================= Shotcut can't export, Kdenlive crashes after upgrade to qt-5.14, video editing is about dead on Gentoo.
Ebuild for webvfx, provides qmelt support to Shotcut https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703576 works here, no guarantees
Should be fixed by media-video/shotcut-19.12.31.
