Video Not Working Properly

[BenLeadbetter]

Hi!

I'm a new user running Ubuntu 18.04.4 and using mapmap-0.6.2.

My issue is that video content is not loading correctly.

When I try to create a new mesh from video content, there seems to be no content there - the mesh has zero dimensionality with all points on top of each other. The points also do not drag properly when you try to move them. I tried using both .mp4 and .avi videos.

Images are working fine. If I create a mesh from an image source and then switch the source to video content all I see is a white mesh layer.

I just had the same problem. Write the following, before running mapmap.

export GST_DEBUG=2

As soon as you load the video and create a mesh, the above will tell you (print in the terminal) which gst plugin is missing or if there is another problem. My problem was that I was running mapmap from within an anaconda environment which has its own gstreamer libraries and did not use the system's. I also had to rebuild mapmap.
