Package: qemu-system-x86
Version: 1:3.1+dfsg-7
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
To reproduce:
* Create a VM using Spice.
* Tell QEmu to stream all videos by using virsh to add the streaming
mode setting like so:
<graphics type='spice' autoport='yes'>
<listen type='address'/>
<streaming mode='all'/>
</graphics>
* Start the VM and play a video in the guest. For instance:
mplayer big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov
As soon as QEmu switches the video to streaming mode it will crash. In
the log the last lines are:
(qemu-system-x86_64:6140): GStreamer-WARNING **: 16:13:21.872: External plugin
loader failed. This most likely means that the plugin loader helper binary was
not found or could not be run. You might need to set the GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER
environment variable if your setup is unusual. This should normally not be
required though.
2019-04-24 14:13:22.569+0000: shutting down, reason=crashed
Notes:
* This happens with and without apparmor installed so this is not an
issue caused by apparmor preventing GStreamer from finding the files
it needs.
* I can use video streaming just fine in Xspice so the bug is most
likely not in the libspice-server libraries.

This is a bug report about a very old version of qemu, on a very
old version of debian.
Subsequent message in this bug report indicates that another user
is unable to reproduce this issue.
Let's close this bug report now, with a version of qemu from bookworm
(arbitrary) - feel free to reopen it if you think the issue is still
present.
Thanks,
/mjt
