WebKitGTK-based browsers look for the plugins in the GST_PLUGIN_PATH and the GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH environment variables. I retested today: actually I realized that it works if I clear ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0 :p The problem is that the cache goes stale when the path to the plugins changes. It's a rather general problem with Guix, I think it's been discussed before. If we had a way to test for the cache staleness, we could add some code to the Epiphany wrapper that clears the cache if stale. -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 487 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I forgot to mention this, but you are right, the profile must be sourced first. Anyways, as hinted above, the issue might be with the GStreamer cache going stale. I can't reproduce right now though. -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 511 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
