  • I have now three different video players. Sometimes something glitches and doesn’t play anything - no audio or black screen! Then I try another player, and voilà, it works. Maybe it’s my Fedora fault? But I don’t think so because every app I use is a Flatpak package. For now, the best of all is VLC; it works 99.9% of the time. Showtime looks very clean, similar to Clapper, but what matters most is whether it actually works or not. I don’t need another video player that has problems with playing videos. Ideally, I just want only one player.



  • Indeed, it is working now, at least on fedora (my current distro). But it was broken a few updates ago. It froze when searchinging, when installing and so on. I tried using it for years on different distributions and it was almost always broken. Best working version I used was on manjaro, but that was 4 years ago, don’t know how now. I also tested it on debian few months. ago and it was garbage. One time I was so frustrated I rated it 1/5 in gnome software. I mostly make updates through terminal, because I do not want to get angry anymore.
