Bug#993490: handbrake: terminates on launch, no reason given

[Rob Moss <robm.dev@gmail.com>]

Package: handbrake
Version: 1.4.1+ds1-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: robm.dev@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

I am running Debian Testing. I last used handbrake around 2 weeks ago, and it worked as expected.

Today, both the GTK and CLI versions terminate immediately when I launch them.

When I pass the "--debug" argument, I obtain the following output:

----------
(null): create_builder_or_die()

(null): ghb_ui_update() activity_location
(null): get_setting_key ()

(null): ghb_widget_to_setting
(null): get_setting_key ()

(null): get_setting_key ()

Aborted
----------

I haven't been able to identify the cause for this.

I tried downgrading to handbrake 1.4.0+ds1-2 and ffmpeg 7:4.3.2-0+deb11u2, but this had no effect.

All the best,
Rob
