Makie display error when used with VideoIO

Specific Domains Visualization
1

I am trying to view some video images recorded as mp4 on a cell phone. I have loaded VideoIO and Makie along with the backend GLMakie.

I am using Windows 10, Julia 1.6.1 and have tried restarting Julia a few times and using the ] build Makie & build GLMakie, as well as removing them and reinstalling.
When adding the Makie and GLMakie I get the following errors:

I am not sure what I should be doing now? I can maybe guess that the + to the left of the package means it precompiled, the down arrow and minus sign mean there is a problem?

After restarting Julia and going through the build again I get the following results.

(@v1.6) pkg> build Makie

Thanks in advance

That doesn’t look right, AbstractPlotting is not in use anymore in the latest versions. Make sure that you install the right ones

Thank you. Without reading documentation I assumed that I needed to load Makie first and didn’t think about loading backends until things didn’t work. Then I loaded GLMakie and it still didn’t work. I removed both and just loaded GLMakie and all the tests pass.
