Kdenlive only loads audio - no video

English Applications
1

I have kdenlive 23.08.5 installed and everything is up to date.
When I load a clip to edit it, it just loads the audio portion, no video. I’ve tried this with a few clips and get the same results. All the clips play as expected in VLC.
I tried reinstalling kdenlive but get the same result.
Anyone have any ideas about this?
Thanks in advance.

Has it ever worked?

A couple of quick troubleshooting steps:

  1. Launch kdenlive from a windowed command line and see if there’s any error output.

  2. Create a new user account… login to that new user … launch kdenlive… any improvement??

Thanks for responding.
Yes it has worked before, but I don’t know if it has worked with this update.

  1. I’m not sure what a “windowed command line” is but I launched it from Konsole and there where no lines that said Error. There where lots of things it didn’t find. There is an interesting line that says"=== GOT DROPPED MIME: “video/mp4"”. I’m trying to edit an mp4.
  2. I logged onto a different user account and had the same problem.

What is the version?
rpm -qa | grep kdenlive

Does the flatpak work ( it has all the codecs built in )?

Did you run the Config Wizard?

Start Kdenlive.
Select menu → Settings → Run Config Wizard

Does it show any issues?

The config Wizard says “Codecs have been updated, everything seems fine.” The hardware acceleration seems fine.

Here is the output:

kdenlive-23.08.5-bp156.1.6.x86_64
kdenlive-lang-23.08.5-bp156.1.6.noarch

I think I will try the flatpak tomorrow, it’s getting late here.
Thanks.

The flatpak version works.
