frontend crashes when QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland

Post by weff »

Is mythtv ready for wayland anyway? google doesn't seem to know.

So I have fedora-31 running mythtv-30.0-15.20191226gita27754ae7f.fc31

When running on gnome under wayland it seems to run fine.

When I use swaywm, I get a crash when trying to watch a recording:

If I 'unset QT_QPA_PLATFORM' (which is 'wayland' in swaywm and not set when running GNOME) then it works fine.

Is there some deep juju involved when running on wayland?
