QMPlay2 cannot be run

MandrivaONE07 · 01-20-2024, 07:27 PM

I downloaded the appimage, until unzipped it, I also don’t see how to resolve the alleged dependency from the package manager.

QMPlay2, sinigual, has integration with YouTube in a tab and consumes few resources compared to the browser playing in the domain.

It’s the only thing I need to make my FATDOG perfect.

And just what might this "alledged dependency" be?

What specific error messages are you receiving?

Thanks for the interest... you can download the appimage(28 MB) and see for yourself (in FATDOG64 901); the only thing I can think of is to try a previous release!
I was also thinking of sending an email to the developer "Błażej Szczygieł - mumei6102@gmail.com"

I downloaded the version "QMPlay2 23.09.05", because in an older version the YouTube plugin did not work... the problem is if in the future it becomes obsolete, the program is not in the repositories and also the appimage does not run.

I didn't get the app image because I'm not interested in it.

I did look at, and got the source here:
https://github.com/zaps166/QMPlay2

Read This:
https://github.com/zaps166/QMPlay2/b...ster/README.md

Created a build dir, put the source tree in it.

I did not want to build new Qt5 stuff so I remarked out:
QMPlay2-master/lang/CMakeLists.txt Line:15 through Line:22

Code:

cd <build dir>
cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DUSE_VULKAN=NO --fresh
make -j8

And that took about 5 minutes to build on an intel old dual core machine.

Code:

[ 96%] Building CXX object src/gui/CMakeFiles/QMPlay2.dir/VolWidget.cpp.o

And that works. Did a search on youtube for frog. Then played the first one.

That's not too bad of a little player thing.

OK is great... I will keep it in mind for the future. I used to deal with that a little bit, but now with appimage no more.
It’s one of the reasons why I see some advantage in an old computer with less than 4GB of memory, which can opt for 386/586 architecture.
The other big advantage is that you just save the appimage, transport it, saving a lot of time and disk space.
