Hello!

I'm trying to use Lumina Desktop in Gentoo. It works as a desktop environment well, but I can't play music in its Lumina Mediaplayer:
Code:
$ lumina-mediaplayer
...
defaultServiceProvider::requestService(): no service found for - "org.qt-project.qt.mediaplayer"
...


What I need to use Qt5-based mediaplayer in Gentoo?

There is a message about media-plugins/gst-plugins-qt5 ebuild, but I can't install this package from Portage repository:

Code:
# emerge --pretend --verbose media-plugins/gst-plugins-qt5
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "media-plugins/gst-plugins-qt5"


Is there any way to make Lumina Mediaplayer work?

What are your USE flags on dev-qt/qtmultimedia:5?

Do note that there has not been a new Lumina release in 3 years, no upstream commit in 2 years, with it still being based on Qt5, it means the clock for package removal has started ticking already.

dev-qt/qtmultimedia-5.15.16::gentoo was built with the following:
USE="alsa qml widgets -debug -gles2-only -gstreamer -openal -pulseaudio -test" ABI_X86="(64)"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs -Wl,--undefined-version"

Thank you for the warning... It's very sad.

Try enable gstreamer then.

After I specified the USE flag gstreamer for dev-qt/qtmultimedia:5 package, the no service found error was gone.

Then I encountered the following problem: Warning: "No decoder available for type 'audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, layer=(int)3, parsed=(boolean)false'."
Solution for it I found here and it is to install media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta package.
Now lumina-mediaplayer works as expected.

Thank you for the help!
