Some reports from Cinnamon users not detect that problem at XFCE version.

Additional information

Pix at Linux Mint XFCE 20.3 worked fine, the problem is just in new version 21.3. Installing gThumb to use it, is the same, perhaps is a libs problem.

Why aren't you using a proper media player eg: vlc, mpv?

[leigh123linux]

If you insist on using pix I would recommend that you remove the gstreamer vaapi package.

Thanks for answer.

For play videos I use celluloid and vlc.

For my class lessons I use Pix to show images and videos. I just change the name of each image and video, and I change it for numbers, like: 1.jpg, 2.png, 3.mp4, 4.png ... for example, and Pix show in order all images an videos, and the videos start automatically.

Some times is better than a presentation software.

I cans't uninstall "gstreamer1.0-vaapi" because ask me to uninstall "mint-meta-codecs", and I think I will loose some performance on my computer.

[leigh123linux]

mint-meta-codecs is an empty package with deps, it's safe to remove it.

[Miguelin3mil]

It work!!!! :D

Yes, I see the packages of "mint-meta_codes", and are some files at "/usr/share/doc/", nothing esential.

Thanks.

I will report it at Linux Mint forum.
