Manjaro - VideoDoesNotLaunchTrainingMode

[TommyRaton]

Is there some parameter to pass to GoldenCheetah to have it use QT6 and ignore VLC?

Historically I've removed the vlc and libvlc* from the AppImage and the release worked just fine with whatever vlc and libvlc* were installed on my Manjaro machine.  That surgical removal no longer is sufficient.  Log entries

I've installed and reinstalled the ffmeg plug-in and installed ALL the VLC plugins to no avail.

I have this relatively recent 3.7 but not sure where I got it

Uses QT6 for video, No VLC, and works fine for my purposes.

qmake6 --version

QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 6.9.1 in /usr/lib

Thanks

Video is a compile time configuration option, see https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/blob/d24afec85ed5190e2041122e85bed4f9bda492b6/src/gcconfig.pri.in#L245-L249, currently you can't change that at runtime.

It looks like one of the builds I generated using Qt6 after v3.7 release, regrettably there was an anonymous claim which nobody with a real name could reproduce but  determined their removal, so they are no longer available in the oficial repor, for details see https://groups.google.com/g/golden-cheetah-users/c/VoFDLg75OLw/m/8qDfDSscBgAJ

It is irrelevant which Qt version(s) you have in your system when you use an AppImage with embedded libraries.

Well thanks and guess I'll see if I can build it with QT6
