Apparently this is a known issue, see this upstream bug filed in February: https://github.com/jliljebl/flowblade/issues/329
Yes, Flowblade uses MLT SDL consumer to display video and this does not work on Wayland. Wayland support will be added in summer/autumn 2017, it will require quite a bit of work to get done and cannot be added to 1.12. The WORKAROUND is to use X11 session when running Flowblade. The question is, if this is fixed in e.g. Flowblade 1.14 within the next few months, will we upgrade to 1.14 in Artful or will the packages stay broken until 18.04? ** Bug watch added: github.com/jliljebl/flowblade/issues #329 https://github.com/jliljebl/flowblade/issues/329 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725118 Title: Flowblade crashes with AttributeError: 'GdkWaylandWindow' object has no attribute 'get_xid' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flowblade/+bug/1725118/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
