The version of wxPython on Videomass AppImage is incompatible with your system. Currently Videomass AppImage has been tested on these Linux distribution: https://jeanslack.github.io/Videomass/Pages/Packages/Linux.html#appimage-format

It is to be expected that it may not work on all available distributions. I will try to do some tests on openSUSE but for now I have no solution to your problem. I'll let you know if there's any news.

[RusselNash10121]

Okay, well, at least you're aware of it.

[RusselNash10121]

IDK if it matters or not but I do not have python 3.9 installed on the system. Only 3.10(.9).

[jeanslack]

That doesn't matter, an AppImage should work completely independently of what you have installed system-wide.

I figured but thought I'd mention it anyway.

Meanwhile, if you want to use Videomass, you could install wxPython with your distribution's package manager and launch Videomass from the source code.

Same problem as last Manjaro release

I am running Videomass-5.0.2-x86_64. Same issue on Debian 12.
