Debian stable

#1

we are asking for deb.motionbox packages…v. 1.4.0 does not work on debian stable

#2

Hi @darek, could you elaborate on what error you get in the console ?

#3

According to Darek issue, I use v. 1.3.0 on Debian stable Stretch and testing Buster with no problems at all. Trying to launch 1.4.0 on testing gives the output:

./MotionBox 
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

So I reinstalled libx11-xcb1 and libqt5x11extras5 packages - no changes.
I also created a symlink:

ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforms/ /usr/bin/platforms

And the 1.4.0 still can’t be loaded.

This seems to be the same issue than @GPL on ArchLinux: http://omega.gg/t/jumping-between-positions-in-videos-are-not-working-anymore-in-1-3-0/60

Could you try extracting the following archive in the folder of the application: http://dl.free.fr/gLKLvLZBf

#5

I did:

./MotionBox 
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Same problem, in Mint 18.03 (Ubuntu 16.04)

@pavroo, could you give this archive a spin: http://dl.free.fr/qVfcUqsVr ?

You can run it with the start.sh script.

The start.sh runs the app OK.

Just update the linux archives: http://omega.gg/MotionBox/get.

Unfortunately with VLC 2.2.x Youtube video seems to have issue playing. Consider upgrading to 3.0.x.

VLC 3 is in Debian’s stable & testing repos, so no problem with that.

Tested the latest packages on Debian testing 32 & 64 bit - all fine.

But there is a problem on Debian stable:

  • 32 bit package doesn’t start due to missing libgcc >= 7.0
  • 64 bit package works fine even I have libgcc 6.x installed

Here is an output from Debian stable 32 bit:

Starting MotionBox...

Thanks for the feedback,

Can you confirm that Youtube playback works with VLC 3.0.x ?

#12

Yes, the latest 1.4.0 with VLC 3.0 plays youtube videos fine on Debian testing.
