Mediaplayer - no service found

[alastairdb]

I can get the browser, image and pdf viewers to work fine but I have problems playing videos. I see the following message in the *eaf* buffer:

defaultServiceProvider::requestService(): no service found for - "org.qt-project.qt.mediaplayer"

Am I missing a dependency?

@alastairdb Looks backend of qtmediaplayer not installed success.

I found a way to get videos working. I am using Ubuntu 18.04. When I set up a virtual environment and use pip to install PyQt5 into this environment, it does not work. If I use the PyQt5 from the standard Python interpreter (installed via apt), it does work

@alastairdb I think apt or pip is same, just apt install some dependences that need by PyQt5.

Anyway, glad you make EAF works.
