Uncaugt Exceptions in 3.5 on Fedora 39 fresh install in 'Manage files'

[pmwisse]

Describe the bug :
Python outputs a list of exceptions when opening 'Manage files' (in which there are two audio files):

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/Qualcoder-3.4-py3.12.egg/qualcoder/main.py", line 1380, in manage_files
ui = DialogManageFiles(self.app, self.ui.textEdit, self.ui.tab_coding, self.ui.tab_reports)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

File "/home/maarten/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/vlc.py", line 302, in _Cfunction
raise NameError('no function %r' % (name,))

NameError: no function 'libvlc_new'

To Reproduce :
As mentioned: install on Fedora 39 with the script that is intended for it. Then, QualCoder does not start by the way but there is a fix for that mentioned in one of the bug reports on GitHub, namely by reinstalling PyQT and after that, rerunning the script for Fedora. After that, Qualcoder starts, but after I imported two files, the 'Manage files' does not work anymore.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Fedora Linux, with kernel 6.8.4
• Version 39 with all updates applied

By the way, as you see in all the error messages, it still talks about 3.4 whereas the download was 3.5.

Ah thanks, yes I forgot to update the version number in line 44 in the setup.py file from 3.4 to 3.5.

@pmwisse I tried looking for a solution to the python vlc module not working and am unable to resolve this.

So, for audio/video (loading files or coding) either use a different OS or another qualitative software, is for now the only advice I can offer.
I can add in some code that catches the error, but does not fix it.

Unfortunate but thanks for the reply!
