Dear Maintainer,

When trying to run nheko on Google Pixel 3a running Droidian (rolling release), I get the error:

[ui] [error] Missing GStreamer elements: nicesrc nicesink glsinkbin glupload qml6glsink pipewiresrc

After installing gstreamer1.0-gl which is not listed as a dependency for nheko, I get the following error:

[ui] [error] Missing GStreamer elements: qml6glsink

I'm still trying to track this further missing dependency but it appears gstreamer1.0-gl should be added as a dependency for nheko to avoid issues for other users.

Cheers

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I don't think it is sensible to depend on (or rather recommend)
gstreamer1.0-gl until confirmed that it is actually of use to nheko:

It seems, unfortunately, that Debian does not currently provide
qml6sink, so if gstreamer1.0-gl only silences a non-fatal error but
does not actually enable use of OpenGL, then I don't see a benefit.

I will leave this bugreport open, as indeed it is a bug, just seemingly
one that needs deeper work to solve.
