Created attachment 913540 [details] ouhput of emerge --info In short: at least gsound dependency has not been mentioned in the pitivi ebuild. pitivi even do not start. The full story has been explained below. I have recently installed pitivi and tried to run it. It failed with the following error message: # pitivi Missing soft dependency: - GSound not found on the system -> enables sound notifications when rendering is complete Missing soft dependency: - cvtracker GStreamer element not found on the system -> enables object tracking Missing soft dependency: - librosa not found on the system -> enables beat detection functionality Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/pitivi/python/pitivi/application.py", line 205, in do_activate self.create_main_window() File "/usr/lib64/pitivi/python/pitivi/application.py", line 212, in create_main_window self.gui.setup_ui() File "/usr/lib64/pitivi/python/pitivi/mainwindow.py", line 135, in setup_ui self.editor.setup_ui() File "/usr/lib64/pitivi/python/pitivi/editorperspective.py", line 103, in setup_ui self._create_ui() File "/usr/lib64/pitivi/python/pitivi/editorperspective.py", line 260, in _create_ui self.mainhpaned.set_position(self.settings.mainWindowMainHPanePosition) TypeError: Argument 1 does not allow None as a value After installing gsound and gstreamer, the error message have been reduced to the following: Missing soft dependency: - cvtracker GStreamer element not found on the system -> enables object tracking Missing soft dependency: - librosa not found on the system -> enables beat detection functionality Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/pitivi/python/pitivi/application.py", line 205, in do_activate self.create_main_window() File "/usr/lib64/pitivi/python/pitivi/application.py", line 212, in create_main_window self.gui.setup_ui() File "/usr/lib64/pitivi/python/pitivi/mainwindow.py", line 135, in setup_ui self.editor.setup_ui() File "/usr/lib64/pitivi/python/pitivi/editorperspective.py", line 103, in setup_ui self._create_ui() File "/usr/lib64/pitivi/python/pitivi/editorperspective.py", line 260, in _create_ui self.mainhpaned.set_position(self.settings.mainWindowMainHPanePosition) TypeError: Argument 1 does not allow None as a value So, at least dependency of the pitivi on gsound has not been mentioned in the pitivi ebuild which is definitely a bug. Unfortunately, I do not know how to install librosa and get rid of the other error messages. I am currently use default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop (stable) profile with dwm without any desktop environment and think that this bug has appeared because the pitivi ebuild has been tested only for default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/gnome profile. Currently I depcleaned the pitivi package and all its dependences. The corresponding output of "emerge --info" command is provided in the attachment.
In FreeBSD both gsound and gstreamer are dependecies of pitivi package. See: https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=pitivi&stype=all&sektion=all Why Gentoo pitivi ebuild is so special that these two packages are not considered to be dependencies of pitivi?
I have just looked into https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=pitivi&stype=all&sektion=all and found out that media-libs/gstreamer-editing-services are also a dependency of pitivi that was not added as such into the Gentoo pitivi ebuild.

Well, emerge -vp pitivi says that gstreamer and gstreamer-editing-services (but not gsound) are going to be emerged. This, however, does not help pitivi to run. At the same time, I see that dev-qt/qtmultimedia-5.15.14:5/5.15::gentoo is going to be emerged with USE="alsa qml widgets -debug -gles2-only -gstreamer -openal -pulseaudio -test"
I think several issues are being mixed up here. * Soft dependency (media-libs/gsound) * Soft dependency (media-plugins/gst-plugins-opencv, I think) * You mention gstreamer[introspection] and gstreamer-editing-services but they are dependencies, not sure whyt this is coming up * Failing to launch for you (yet-unknown cause)

It was my fault to mention them here. > * Failing to launch for you (yet-unknown cause) Yes. :(
