Those bugs look like they are for streaming video. This problem is for local
audio files. I don't think they are related, but I could be wrong. the first
one might have some bearing, given that it is for files with both audio and
video "streams". But it also calls out video files "QMediaPlayer does not play
back video file". The second one lists a fix that was applied to QT 6.8.1. I'm
running 6.9. it could have reverted i guess.

It could be, but the ones that did work either didn't have a size listed or had
a size under 600x600. (For the embedded cover art)

I also don't have any issues when playing in any other player, like Amarok or
the Flatpak version of Elisa. It is literally just the repo version of Elisa in
Opensuse Tumbleweed. The repository version of Amarok plays these same songs
just fine.

Actually, I think it is an issue with specific encoders (e.g. the ones that do
work for you don't seem to output which encoder was used, whereas the ones that
failed used something like lacv*)

So, certain encoders fail on files with embedded album covers, I think?

I think that is the album artwork embedded in the files. It must be reading it
as some other stream and it doesn't know what to do or can't ignore it

So, I removed the second track from some files that did not work and viola,
those file are working as expected.
( -i input.mp3 -map 0:0 output.mp3)

It seems that in all the tracks bought from amazon music have this second track
integrated in the mp3-File.

I'm beginning to think it isn't an encoding problem. I have 2 opus files that
both use Lavf60.3.100 .
However, the one that doesn't work properly has metadata like artist, album,
etc. as well as 2 streams that show up in the journal.
These streams are:
1. Stream #0:0(eng): Audio: opus, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp [and accompanying
metadata]
2. Stream #0:1: Video: mjpeg (Baseline), yuvj420p(pc, bt470bg/unknown/unknown),
500x500 [SAR 1:1 DAR 1:1], 90k tbr, 90k tbn (attached pic)

Stream #0:1 is probably the album cover image I am using.

If the file doesn't have this second stream metadata / cover image, it plays
perfectly fine. Can anyone else confirm that this is reproducible?

my apologies if I don't do this correctly , its the first time for me. 

Fedora KDE 42 , Elisa 25.04 
.m4a and .mp3 file fail to play when the "play" button is pushed or when a
playlist is built. 
Worked fine before with Fedora KDE 41 , 40 and 39 .
Have tried both upgrades to 42 and clean install on seperate machine and same
issues . 
Have uninstall and reinstall Elisa with Flatpak through Discover and CLI with
DNF , same problem. 
Wipe and reload new fresh version of Fedora KDE 42 and problem still exists.

Thanks - there must be some interaction here between GStreamer and

Thanks! Based on the issue being reproducible when using the Fedora and
openSUSE supporting distro libraries, and not being reproducible with the
Flatpak and Solus supporting libraries, this one must somehow come down to
distribution-specific issues.

My *guess* just from intuition is that some of the encoders built and packaged
by distributions to deal with license/patent issues - either to avoid them in
the distro repositories, or to not care about them in the community
repositories - might not be working correctly with QtMultimedia, but that
generally unaltered ones are fine.

For the original reporter - can you confirm that the same files that aren't
starting automatically on the Fedora RPM version are working OK with the
Flatpak version?
