The media plugin disables itself with no user facing explanation on missing gstreamer plugins

[diaphragm-workplace]

When enabling the psimedia plugin, leaving the settings menu and returning to it reveals that it's disabled again. The app seems to ignore it as well when trying to change the config file manually.

OS: Arch Linux

Psi Version: 1.5.2128 from psi-plus/psi-plus-snapshots
Built as:

mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
        -DENABLE_PLUGINS=ON \
        -DBUILD_DEV_PLUGINS=ON \
        -DQT_DEFAULT_MAJOR_VERSION=6 \
        -DBUILD_PSIMEDIA=ON ..
ninja

XML log (you can find it in account's context menu)

Make sure that you have all needed gstreamer plugins installed. gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-bad

[diaphragm-workplace]

Oh, whoop! Installing all of them (sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq gst-plugin- | grep -v lib32) $(pacman -Ssq gst-plugins- | grep -v lib32) --needed) would take ~5GiB download size and ~24GiB install size, I ain't waiting that long. So I installed all of the base sets but seem to have missed gst-plugins-bad.

Anyways, this is still not the appropriate behavior for this kind of fault.
