[Gambas-user] "Cannot set status" by playing a VIDEO file with MediaView

[Bruce Steers]

Never mind i managed to fix it.
i found the commands (didn't think they'd have -1.0 as suffix like
gst-play-1.0)

Apparently, after a net search, mint has a problem with a VAAPI driver

I installed the intel-media-va-driver-non-free  and when i did it removed
the other installed driver and now i have video again :)

Sorry to be a bother folks :)
Respects
