kdenlive: cannot find your MLT profiles

This problem commonly encounter after you update you libmlt. Normally the popup suggest the path /usr/share/mlt/profiles, but after re-install/update the mlt path will commonly become /usr/share/mlt-5/profiles and /usr/share/mlt-6/profiles. But in my case i use /usr/share/mlt-6/profiles as my profile path.

Opensuse - KDENLIVE not working on on MPEG file.

KDENLIVE avformat module(FFmpeg) not working.
Opensuse version - 12.3

Root of problem:

libmlt5 has no avformat.

Fixed:

Update libmlt5 to libmlt6

Updating libmlt

* Add Packman repositories.

zypper ar -f -n packman-essentials http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_12.3/Essentials/ Packman-Essentials
zypper ar -f -n packman-multimedia http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_12.3/Multimedia/ Packman-Multimedia

Since Im using openSuse 12.3, above urls put as example. However if your not using same as mine, you can check the specific url for system here.

* Open YAST ans search libmlt6. While attempting to install ibmlt6 expect a prompt/comfimation to install libmlt6 and uninstall libmlt5.






After you updated libmlt to libmlt6, i suggest to reboot your system to fully reload any possible services that was affected. And if your encounter kdenlive: cannot find your MLT profiles follow the links.
