Description Vladimir 2023-06-03 19:29:17 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/113.0
Build Identifier: 

The programm goldendict was removed a few days ago, as a result of a system's upgrade. Insted of it, there is now a goldendict-nl package in the repositories. goldendict-nl is a fork of goldendict. I has installed goldendict-nl, but the program does not start. 

If I enter command goldendict-ng in konsole, I receive the message "If 'goldendict-ng' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf goldendict-ng"

If I enter command goldendict in konsole, I receive the message 
"could not load multimedia backend ""
QtMultimedia is not currently supported on this platform or compiler.
Aborted (core dumped)"



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just try to run the program.



I use openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230531 KDE/Plasma

The goldendict in the repo was the fork's older version.

Yes, openSUSE's qt multimedia seems to have some problems.

As workaround, you can open `~/.goldendict/config` or `~/.config/goldendict/config`

And manually change from QtMultimedia to FFmpeg at this line (just delete the line also OK):

```
  <internalPlayerBackend>FFmpeg</internalPlayerBackend>
```

It seems openSUSE's current Qt6 Multimedia is a dummy implementation.

This method works. Thank you.

Another workaround is `sudo zypper in qt6-multimedia`.

My bad, I didn't realize that qt multimedia needs a run time dependency :(
