Bug#1141240: showtime: Fails to start with `gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-io-error-quark: Timeout was reached (24)`

[Paul Menzel]

Package: showtime
Version: 50.0-1
Severity: normal


Dear Debian folks,


Some update (Python?) seems to have broken showtime:

     $ LANG= showtime
     DEBUG: showtime:54 Starting org.gnome.Showtime v50.0 (release)
     DEBUG: showtime:55 Python version: 3.14.6 (main, Jun 10 2026, 
18:54:31) [GCC 15.2.0]
     DEBUG: showtime:56 GStreamer version: 1.28.4.0
     Traceback (most recent call last):
       File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/showtime/main.py", line 213, 
in do_handle_local_options
         self.register()  # This is so props.is_remote works
         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^
     gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-io-error-quark: Timeout was reached (24)


Kind regards,

Paul
