arraybolt3[m]@Leokolb, @guiverc: Another scam ^03:17
lubot[telegram] <teward001> orbital nuked on Telegram03:27
lubot[telegram] <teward001> y'all seem to forget I have telegram admin power too xD03:27
* guiverc just flags when I don't have the power03:28
arraybolt3[m]@teward001: Thanks. (Yep, /me forgot.)03:28
* arraybolt3[m] overnights a black hole's worth of espresso to teward's house03:29
lubot[telegram] <teward001> hah03:29
arraybolt3[m](In the unlikely event you have admin power over in #kde-devel:kde.org, too, the same bots are pestering them.)03:30
lubot[telegram] <teward001> E:NOACCESS on KDE03:31
arraybolt3[m]:(03:31
lubot[telegram] <teward001> yeah i'm not a big KDE person03:31
lubot[telegram] <teward001> and i'm not in all the matrix channels either, i just have orbital nuke on Telegram :P03:31
arraybolt3[m]One or both of us needs to get simultaneous jobs at Libera, Element, and Telegram.03:31
arraybolt3[m]Then we can orbital nuke everywhere :D03:31
lubot[telegram] <teward001> *becomes Ruler of the World, and therefore everyone must obey, or suffer the consequences*03:32
lubot[telegram] <teward001> *sips booz*03:32
arraybolt3[m]OK that may be a little overkill.03:33
arraybolt3[m]I don't think that story ends well when one of us decides to get into a sparring match with the black hole projector.03:33
lubot[telegram] <teward001> you mean THIS black hole projector?  *holds up the BHP*03:37
lubot[telegram] <teward001> *paints @tsimonq2 's location with a black hole using the BHP*03:38
lubot[telegram] <teward001> aaaaaaaanyways.  i only stopped on to burn the spam.. *goes back to the shadows*03:39
arraybolt3[m]👋03:39
tsimonq2Good morning. Finally all back, settled, and refreshed from my work trip earlier this week.13:40
tsimonq2teward: uhhhh I can try again, last time I was interrupted in the middle of it and didn't get the chance to go back13:41
RikMillsplease try vlc with some mp4 files ;)13:41
* RikMills runs off13:41
tsimonq2anyway13:41
tsimonq2when I say things have been chaotic I meant it ;)13:41
tsimonq2yeah? is it broken?13:42
RikMillsin a vm yes on the sample mp4s I tried. and on a hardware live session for me.13:42
RikMillsbut confirmation on a real installed system would be good13:43
RikMillscurrently I don't have a kinetic one13:43
tsimonq2oic13:44
tsimonq2RikMills: Bug report anywhere I can read backlog on?13:44
RikMillsnot yet. if someone will confirm, I will make one13:45
tsimonq2well I just confirmed something is wrong on my freshly-installed real Kinetic hardware13:45
tsimonq2I just don't know precisely what I'm looking at13:45
RikMillsnor do I. search the command line error hasn't provided much insight13:47
RikMills*searching13:47
RikMillsvlc usually spews many warnings13:47
RikMillsanyway, now I know it is not some weird VM thing, I can report it later13:48
RikMillsthanks :)13:49
RikMillsI am tempted to blame ffmpeg5 ;)13:53
RikMillsbut dragon-player that uses libvlc as a backend works, so not so clear13:53
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> Lubuntu or Kubuntu - maybe both? (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <RikMills> please try vlc with some mp4 files ;))13:57
Eickmeyer[m]RikMills: vlc doesn't use ffmpeg5, so it can't be that.15:32
Eickmeyer[m]it has its own code library (libvlc)15:33
Eickmeyer[m]It's probably a problem in the frontend.15:33
RikMillsEickmeyer[m]: vlc build depends on the ffmpeg -dev packages15:36
RikMillsbut yes, the front end is likely the issue15:36
RikMillsin fact, the last rebuild of vlc in the archive was a no change rebuild by steve against the new ffmpeg libs15:38
arraybolt3[m]Does mplayer still work? Might help uncover if it's ffmpeg's fault or not. (But Dragon Player still works so...)15:40
RikMillsthe forum post that alerted me to this says that mpv using things are still still ok15:41
Eickmeyer[m]Well, I can say this: per my testing, it doesn't matter if it's DE or X11 or Wayland, MP4 doesn't work on VLC.15:41
RikMillsindeed15:41
Eickmeyer[m]Is there a bug report yet?15:42
RikMillsno, as I didn't want to do it from a VM15:42
Eickmeyer[m]I did it from actual hardware.15:43
arraybolt3[m]I have a Kinetic install right here, lemme try and help confirm too.15:43
RikMillsthat is what we need, as VM video is dodgy at best anyway, and could have irrelevant error messages15:44
arraybolt3[m](Is it OK that the system I have here is Xubuntu Core? It's made by a Xubuntu developer, and is essentially Xubuntu but with almost no preinstalled apps, so it's tiny. Not sure if using an unofficial flavor for this test is OK or not, though I suspect it is.)15:45
RikMillsit shouldn't matter for testing15:47
arraybolt3[m]Eickmeyer, RikMills: I'm getting audio but no video even with a .ogv file here.15:47
arraybolt3[m]So it's not MP4 specific.15:47
RikMillssigh15:48
RikMillsthanks15:48
arraybolt3[m]Whoa that's weird. I closed VLC and opened it again and now it's working.15:48
* RikMills raises eyebrow15:48
arraybolt3[m]Just after I installed mplayer for testing.15:49
RikMillscurious15:49
* arraybolt3[m] removes mplayer and autoremoves to see what happens.15:49
RikMillshave to go for a bit15:49
arraybolt3[m]Sigh, nope, now it's just working. :/15:49
Eickmeyer[m]Weird...15:50
arraybolt3[m]OK, pulling an mp4 from Pexels.15:50
Eickmeyer[m]arraybolt3: Cannot duplicate.15:51
arraybolt3[m]OK so on my (slow) laptop that I'm trying this on, when I open an MP4, I get a black screen and various odd behavior with the window size, but when I close VLC, I see a flash of the video just before the window vanishes.15:52
Eickmeyer[m]That's exactly what I see.15:53
Eickmeyer[m]On my (incredibly fast) computer.15:53
* arraybolt3[m] still wonders what was up with that .ogv a bit ago, but at least we can duplicate mp4 problems15:54
Eickmeyer[m]My MP4 might be shoddy, I can't make it open in dragon player even.15:54
arraybolt3[m]Upon closing the .ogv, I see a black screen flash in a totally different location of my screen just before VLC closes. So something seems wrong here.15:55
arraybolt3[m]I just use a drone video off Pexels, I have one that plays in Dragon Player without issues but fails on VLC.15:57
arraybolt3[m]I see a ton of "chain filter error: Too high level of recursion (3)" in the logs of VLC.15:58
arraybolt3[m]And also "main filter error: Failed to create video converter"15:58
Eickmeyer[m]I'm using a friend of mine's vod from Twitch. Same issue.15:58
arraybolt3[m]And also "co located POCs unavailable"15:59
Eickmeyer[m]I'm investigating the package from Debian.15:59
arraybolt3[m]That last one I keep getting tons of over and over.16:00
Eickmeyer[m]Multimedia team maintained (which I'm technically part of).16:00
Eickmeyer[m]Looks like it's the latest version, per videolan.org16:00
Eickmeyer[m]Just tested the snap, it works.... 🙄16:03
Eickmeyer[m]Imma try a no-change rebuild in my PPA (grasping at straws)16:04
* arraybolt3[m] takes a swing at building from source16:07
Eickmeyer[m]My changelog entry: "No-change rebuild against anything" KEK16:08
Eickmeyer[m]Now, I know the reason why the snap works: It was built against ffmpeg4.16:10
arraybolt3[m]Eh, so my test on Jammy isn't going to work, it's on ffmpeg4.16:11
Eickmeyer[m]Correct.16:11
arraybolt3[m]And no way am I making my Chromebook build anything from source with its speed.16:11
* arraybolt3[m] checks for a Kinetic VM already installed16:11
arraybolt3[m]Oh wait I have a Debian Sid VM, that might be even better.16:12
arraybolt3[m](If it survives an apt upgrade that is.)16:12
Eickmeyer[m]Oof best of luck.16:12
Eickmeyer[m]So, SUPPOSEDLY vlc supports ffmpeg 5: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/merge_requests/124516:15
ubot93Merge 1245 in videolan/vlc "[VLC3] Support FFmpeg 5.0 (except for VAAPI)" [Merged]16:15
arraybolt3[m]Hmm... except for VAAPI?16:16
Eickmeyer[m]Well, VAAPI is undergoing some patent troll stuff.16:17
arraybolt3[m]Maybe that's the problem, is it trying to use VAAPI when it shouldn't?16:17
* arraybolt3[m] hopes the US joins with the EU in saying "no you can't patent software", this codec nonsense is insane16:19
arraybolt3[m](But whatever, that's off-topic.)16:19
arraybolt3[m]Ah, that lovely feeling as you watch various LXQt components get removed during the upgrade and you really really hope that's because they're about to be replaced :P16:30
arraybolt3[m]Nope, looks like Debian Sid just nuked LXQt. Sigh. Well at least I know how to use the terminal and I might still be left with Trinity Desktop Environment (let's hope).16:31
arraybolt3[m](Shoulda' looked at the list of packages to be removed.)16:32
Eickmeyer[m]My mock "no-change rebuild" was unsuccessful.16:46
arraybolt3[m]Alright, so now that I've shredded my VM, let's try to install VLC. 🙃16:50
arraybolt3[m]Same symptoms on Debian Sid as on Ubuntu Kinetic, though slightly different errors in the terminal.16:55
Eickmeyer[m]I have the feeling this is going to be a bug report and a release note. I'm not seeing any bug reports in Debian that match this, so this will need to be reported in Debian as well.17:27
arraybolt3[m]Eickmeyer: Send the link to the report, I'll help confirm it.17:41
arraybolt3[m](Whenever it's written.)17:42
Eickmeyer[m]I haven't written it. sigh And as I think about it, I probably should.17:45
arraybolt3You want me to?17:46
Eickmeyer[m]Being the de-facto multimedia guy for Ubuntu and all....17:46
arraybolt3Either way. I'm available if you need help.17:46
Eickmeyer[m]If you could do the Debian one, that would be awesome.17:46
Eickmeyer[m]Then I could link to that from the Launchpad bug report I'll write.17:47
arraybolt3OK. I'll see if I can wrangle it (I've never reported a Debian bug before).17:48
Eickmeyer[m]Oh, it's easy. There's even a command for it.17:48
Eickmeyer[m]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian/Bugs17:48
arraybolt3I found that, just booting up the Debian VM so I do it from there and have the best chance of success. (My upgrade nuked LXQt for reasons unknown to me, but TDE survived so \o/)17:49
arraybolt3Eickmeyer[m]: Does reportbug allow me to export the final bug report text as a text file and then send it with GMail?17:54
Eickmeyer[m]arraybolt3: I think so.17:54
arraybolt3[m]Eickmeyer: One last thing, while I was making the bug report, it said that the debug log from VLC would be handy, so I made one according to its directions. Should I attach the contents of the log inline with the rest of the email? It's 183.4 KB file.18:20
arraybolt3[m](Not sure if Debian actually wants me to do that, or if that's detrimental like it sorta sounds like.)18:20
Eickmeyer[m]I'm not sure, to be honest.18:20
arraybolt3[m]I'll err on the side of caution and say "I have a debug log available, but it's 183.4 KB, so I didn't include it for fear of messing anyone up, if you'd like me to send it, let me know."18:21
Eickmeyer[m]I have LP: #1991418 if you'd like to comment there and add it as an attachment.18:22
ubot93Launchpad bug 1991418 in vlc (Ubuntu) "VLC unable to show MP4 video, plays audio fine" [Undecided, New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/199141818:22
arraybolt3[m]Will do. (Strange, reportbug didn't request any authentication info or anything, it just... sent the bug. (I forgot to say anything about the debug log 🤣))18:24
Eickmeyer[m]Automagic.18:24
Eickmeyer[m]Did you get a debian bug number?18:25
arraybolt3[m]Not yet, they said within the hour.18:25
Eickmeyer[m]Ah.18:26
arraybolt3[m]Commented and confirmed Ubuntu bug.18:26
arraybolt3[m](It's always a bit scary to me when thing work automagically when I would have expected that I would need a password or something. :P)18:28
arraybolt3[m]Woot, got the bug number!18:28

arraybolt3[m]Ah, nice.18:30
arraybolt3[m]Uh, should I put the link in the Launchpad bug or are you doing that already?18:30
arraybolt3[m](I don't know how to add bug watches, if I can.)18:30
Eickmeyer[m]I can do it.18:30
Eickmeyer[m]Done.18:32
arraybolt3[m]OK, and now I just attached the debug log.18:36
