dvbsrc or mpegtsdemux: GStreamer 1.16.2 → 1.18.0 upgrade on Debian Sid has caused Me TV to stop working as it should.
The recent upgrade of GStreamer 1.16.2 → 1.18.0 on Debian Sid has led to Me TV now failing to work. Me TV starts as per expected, but no video or audio is now shown when a channel is selected – the screen(s) remain blank. Previous behaviour was for the channel audio and video to display, now there is no audio or video at all.
Attached is a list of which gstreamer1 packages are installed, and attached is a log of a run of me-tv at GST_DEBUG=6.
