Bug Description

A change made in gstreamer-1.24 (which is supplied with ubuntu-24.04 (beta)) breaks uxplay-1.62.2 also supplied with Ubuntu-24.04. It is fixed by a small change in just-released uxplay-1.62.3. The maintainers of the Ubuntu-24.04 uxplay-1.68.2-1build2 package should update ASAP. (I am the uxplay maintainer.)

The bug usually, but not always, prevents uxplay from opening a video window, and is due to a change in video pause/resume in gstreamer-1.24.x.

The bug only affects uxplay when used with gstreamer-1.24.x (1.22.x is unaffected)

Our releases are quickly picked up by Debian, (currently for Trixie/Sid) and I think that is how they get to Ubuntu.

typo in bug report: "uxplay 1.62.2" and "uxplay-1.62.3" should have been uxplay-1.68.2 and uxplay 1.68.3

Hi Duncan, I'm the maintainer of Debian, where I can fix it, but I have no influence to Ubuntu freezes and updates...
