Running Ubuntu, I have a player on a window(the example) which does not seem to play. Did some searches but no avail. The app run, the variables are seen but no video. Works on Mac but not on linux. Any direction would be helpful.
Did you install the prerequisites?
- libgstreamer-1 - used by DesktopMoviePlayer
Yes I did…
Im running my test enviroment on virtualbox. Do you guys have the actual command to install the libraries I need? I ask because when I try to install what google tells me it breaks x11. 
SO, I got it to work:
My config is, Host is windows 10 running virtualbox. Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
So when I installed the libraries ubuntu would give me a BLANK SCREEN as soon as the login information was entered.
After some research it seems that some people recommended that the Video Card setting be adjusted or changed from what it was to anything new.
I made the changes and the desktop shows. Then i run the app and it showed the video as needed.
1- Install the libraries as needed
2- if the blank screen shows after login in, try changing the display adaptor or video card settings.
3- reboot and try.
here is the libraries installation command.
sudo apt install libgstreamer1.0-0 gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-libav
NOTE: IM NOT TRYING TO RUN XOJO. I am trying to run my video player build with xojo.

Question Greg, once i have the app compiled, is there a way to just have the user install my app or are they gonna have to install the libraries themselves?
thank you greg
The way to do this is to use an rpm or dev installer package or just have the users install it themselves.
FWIW, I suspect people will have better luck on real machines. VMs are notoriously just a little off
