@github-actions github-actions released this 16 Sep 20:12

Adds QGIS 4 / Qt6 compatibility. The plugin previously crashed immediately
on QGIS 4 (PyQt6); it now runs on both QGIS 3.x (PyQt5) and QGIS 4.x (PyQt6).

Added

  • FFmpeg detection status shown in the Output Options group, so it's clear
    up front whether Movie (MP4) export is available.
  • A hint next to the Run/Close/Cancel button row ("Set your output path on
    the output tab to run") shown whenever the output path isn't set and Run
    is disabled.

Changed

  • Restructured the Output tab: Output Format, Output Resolution, and Output
    Options were a group box nested inside another group box; they are now
    peer group boxes.

Fixed

  • Declare QGIS 4.x compatibility (qgisMaximumVersion=4.99) in both
    metadata.txt and config.json, so the plugin is no longer blocked from
    loading on QGIS 4. (The release packaging regenerates metadata.txt from
    config.json, so both needed the fix.)
  • Fix AttributeError crashes from PyQt5-style unscoped enum access, which
    PyQt6 removed (e.g. QEasingCurve.Linear -> QEasingCurve.Type.Linear,
    Qt.AlignCenter -> Qt.AlignmentFlag.AlignCenter, and the same pattern
    across QDialogButtonBox, QMessageBox, QStyle, QSizePolicy,
    QPalette, QProcess, and Qt.WA_DeleteOnClose).
  • Fix TypeError crash from passing a raw int to setToolButtonStyle,
    which PyQt6 requires as a real enum value.
  • Port the embedded video player to Qt6's QtMultimedia API: QMediaContent
    was removed (replaced by QMediaPlayer.setSource), and the
    stateChanged/error signals were renamed to
    playbackStateChanged/errorOccurred. Qt5 (QGIS 3.x) behaviour is
    preserved via a runtime Qt-version check.
  • Replace PyQt5-hardcoded imports with the canonical qgis.PyQt shim
    (which resolves to whichever Qt binding QGIS itself uses) in the video
    player and the test suite's mock qgis_interface.
  • Fix invisible media-list add/remove buttons: their .ui-defined emoji
    glyphs (➕/➖) have no glyph in the available font stack and rendered
    as blank "tofu" boxes; replaced with plain +/- text.
  • Fix invisible spin-box up/down arrows: styling QSpinBox/QDoubleSpinBox
    with custom QSS switches Qt off its native paint path for the whole
    compound control, so the arrow sub-controls (left unstyled) rendered as
    blank blocks. Spin boxes are now excluded from the shared input-styling
    rule and keep their native, fully visible arrows.
