Symptoms¶

Playback of captured videos of your test executions is failing in the Squish IDE on Linux with the following error message:

  com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player!

Solution¶

To resolve this issue, make sure that these four libraries are present on your Linux system:

1. libavcodec.so
2. libavformat.so
3. libavutil.so
4. libswresample.so

You can verify if these libraries are present with ldconfig, like in the following example:

  ldconfig -p | grep -E "lib(avcodec|avformat|avutil|swresample).so" | sort

The following packages provide these libraries.

• ide
• video
• linux
