videos only play sound but no image

[Stéphane Magnenat]

After an upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04, videos in pdfpc do not show image any more, only sound. I have created a minimal test case here (please fetch both the PDF and the mp4):
- http://stephane.magnenat.net/~steph/bug-pdfpc/bug-pdfpc.pdf
- http://stephane.magnenat.net/~steph/bug-pdfpc/gtc-studentgames-2018.mp4
The sources being:
- http://stephane.magnenat.net/~steph/bug-pdfpc/bug-pdfpc.tex
- http://stephane.magnenat.net/~steph/bug-pdfpc/video-title.png

Videos in the PDF play properly with other viewers, such as Okular, and also directly with gtc-play, and even with a vaapi chain: `gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=videos/gtc-studentgames-2018.mp4 ! qtdemux ! vaapidecodebin ! vaapisink`.

Here is the log of pdfpc when launched with `export GST_DEBUG=*:WARNING`:

[Alessandro (moskante)]

I have the same bug after upgrading to 18.04. I tried to add video to the pdf with multimedia package and pdfpc-movie, neither is working. The example from https://pdfpc.github.io/ is also not working.

[Evgeny Stambulchik (fnevgeny)]

Probably the same as #1790389; try installing gstreamer1.0-gtk3.

[Stéphane Magnenat (stephane.magnenat)]

Yes, installing gstreamer1.0-gtk3 solves the problem for me.
