I'm testing QLC+5 on my computers and detected some issues with appimages.
My computer specs:
  • HP550 laptop with Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU, graphic card Intel Corporation Mobile GME965/GLE960, Xubuntu 17.10, Qt5.9.4.
  • Desktop computer with AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+, graphic card NVIDIA Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE] (rev a1), Xubuntu 17.10, Qt5.9.4.
On both systems appimage runs well, my Stairville LED Flood Panel 7x3 fixtures, NanoKontrol2 and sound works as expected. Playing vídeo files shows white window or screen if played fullscreen, and no sound. In the console I get an error --qrc:/VideoContext.qml:21:1: module "QtMultimedia" is not installed" --

I build QLC+ 5 from GIT and created an appimage with ./create-appimage.sh. If I run qlcplus.Appdir/AppRun or the packaged appimage Q_Light_Controller_Plus-x86_64.AppImage. QLC+ 5 runs well, fixtures, NanoKontrol2, audio files and video (video and sound) plays as expected.

Hi, can you please try this bundle ?
QLC+_5.0.0_alpha2-TEST-20180308-x86_64.AppImage

QtMultimedia is in the bundle, but for some reason the first AppImage I created was still trying to load libraries from the OS, rather than the bundle itself.

Hi Massimo,
Same result with this image. I get a white window playing a video.
Same error in console.
qrc:/VideoContext.qml:21:1: module "QtMultimedia" is not installed

This evening I'll do more tests with my fixtures and other devices with different computers.
So that we can better debug these errors, perhaps it would be to know which programs, libraries, etc. and what are the minimum requirements to test and compile QLC+5 to avoid errors due to different configurations that each user has.
I installed Qt5 with the package downloaded from https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer ... b62735f3e5
If you think that if I can install a specific program or do it in a specific way, let us say so, in addition to unifying criteria and improving the debugging of errors.

QtMultimedia is a real pain in the ass.
I am preparing a laptop with vanilla Ubuntu 16.04 to see what's going on with this damn appimage bundle.

I have update the GitHub wiki with QLC+ 5 build instructions: https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/wiki
