shotcut extension posted
Hello Juanito
I've been testing Shotcut extension for a couple days and there's an issue - it doesn't export video.
As a long term Shotcut user I know it's using melt/qmelt or melt-7 for exporting video as a sub process.
In the extension when trying to export it mentions the path
/tmp/tcloop/shotcut/usr/local/bin/qmelt
"qmelt" doesn't exists there but "melt" does. But there's another issue - when I try to run:
/tmp/tcloop/shotcut/usr/local/bin/melt -verbose -progress2 -abort /tmp/shotcut-FKUpae.mlt?multi:1
(this is what shotcut runs when exporting the video) it works however only audio is being encoded while video is not
available. So the next thing I did was downloading exactly the 19.08.16 version (the one mentioned in the .info file)
and run it locally - when I do that I still need to run melt manually because the paths are not getting resolved automatically
but in that case I'm able to encode both audio and video.
Assumption on what may go wrong:
1. Probably there's something wrong with resolving the paths
2. qmelt is probably getting dropped after creating an extension (btw when I did
mksquashfs Shotcut/ shotcut.tcz
and then installed the issues are still there)
3. Whatever melt/qmelt when trying to encode video being exported by shotcut.tcz doesn't contatin any video stream
I'm not complaining at any point, just sharing my research.
Again, the workaround is to download 19.08.16 shotcut and
when exporting run qmelt manually and then it works like a charm.
