On Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 whenever I'm trying to use QMediaPlayer I'm being prompted with no service.
>>> from PyQt5 import QtMultimedia
>>> qtm = QtMultimedia.QMediaPlayer()
defaultServiceProvider::requestService(): no service found for - "org.qt-project.qt.mediaplayer"
The Internet suggests installing some gstreamer packages but it doesn't say which. How can I figure out which package is needed?
It seems that by default Ubuntu comes with Gstreamer1.0 and I can run gst-play-1.0 FILEPATH. Any chance that gstreamer-0.10 is needed instead? How can I set reverse the dependency?
