kdenlive Rendering Issue

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hey guys,

I’m running openSUSE tumbleweed and have been taking screencasts with vokoscreen. I have a 1366x768 screen and record with libx264 and in avi format. The clips play fine, I can successfully edit them in kdenlive, and can even start rendering. The problem is, no matter the format I try the job never finishes. The loading bar gets to the very end and then just stops with a sliver left. I’ve installed the codecs at this https://forums.opensuse.org/english/…one-click.html thread, but it didn’t fix the problem.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

This is what it looks like:http://i.imgur.com/hRlRIsF.png

Well, first of all I have to say that I never used Tumbleweed myself, so I don’t really know if it works there…

But, let’s check some facts:
What is your repo layout:

zypper lr -d

Then, is all the necessary stuff for kdenlive from Packman?


rpm -qi kdenlive
rpm -qi melt
rpm -qi libmlt6
rpm -qi libmlt6-data
rpm -qi libmlt6-modules
rpm -qi libmlt++3
rpm -qi libavcodec55

Here we go:

As I was suspecting, you have a mixture there between Tumbleweed and 12.3 (and even 12.2) repos, and you have the wrong Packman repo for Tumbleweed.

I’m not sure that those cause you’re kdenlive problem, but better remove all those 12.2 and 12.3 repos.
And the vlc repos as well! (packman and vlc don’t mix really well, and all that’s in vlc is in packman as well)

Then do this:

sudo zypper dup --from "openSUSE Current OSS"
sudo zypper up
sudo zypper ar http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed Packman
sudo zypper dup --from Packman

Afterwards, hopefully kdenlive should work correctly…

Sorry for the absurdly late response. Basically I tried your suggestion but when it didn’t work I gave up for a while. Then I accidentally uninstalled almost ALL of the libraries on my system, rendering it virtually useless. I had to wipe and reinstall. I’ve decided to try out Tumbleweed again after I’ve learned some more about Linux and have become less of an idiot.

Anyways thanks for the help lol!
