melt failed to load filter and transition qtblend


I've installed melt from sources in Ubuntu 18.10, codename:cosmic Everything seems to be fine but when I'm trying to play some kdenlive file I got [producer_xml] failed to load filter "qtblend" [producer_xml] failed to load transition "qtblend"

When I made ./configure in the installation stage, I've detected no errors regarding Qt not found.

Which is the module that contains qtblend?

Any hint is appreciated.

Regards David


Solution

  • To see if qtblend is compiled in, run:

    melt -query filters | grep qtblend
    

    QT is compiled by default unless the configure script is not able to find your installation: https://github.com/mltframework/mlt/blob/master/src/modules/qt/configure

    If QT is not found during configure, it will print out the message: "- Qt not found - disabling"

    Setting qt_includedir, qt_libdir, or the $QTDIR environment variable can help.

    MLT has a convenience script to compile MLT and all dependencies:

    https://github.com/mltframework/mlt-scripts/blob/master/build/build-melt.sh

    This script can be helpful to inspect to see how it works for QT.
