Gnome videos not working

Ask Fedora

After updated to fd 35 gnome videos does not start anymore. VLC works correctly. Any solutions?
Thanks in advance

Use VLC, and report a bug with some logs or output.
Start Gnome Video from command line and see what it complains about.

Hi @nano007 Welcome back. Gnome video needs some codes. Did you not enable other applications in the install process?

Did you install ffmpeg?

Yes the app was working with the previous version of Fedora

I run the app from CLI.

totem

Switch to Xorg session
or
Try using

GDB_BACKEND=x11 totem

Also check if Cheese & gnome-maps also doesn’t work.

to Start it and see if that works. Also do you have Nvidia or Intel/Nvidia hybrid Graphics by any chance?

Thanks for your help.
I run totem and cheese from the CLI and this is their outputs:

I have a Nvidea graphic card and even installed a propretary driver with fedy but no success.

Switch to Xorg session for now. It’s Nvidia drivers + Mutter issue. I’m also having this issue even though my system is running on Intel Graphics (Hybrid GPU).
