µPlayer 's #flatpak now includes all the needed #gstreamer bits to play #h264 accelerated video on the #librem5 out of the box. This allows for fast 📼 on distros that don't ship #gtk4 or #gstreamer git.

It not working yet on full screen?

@carlosgonz it does #fullscreen , see https://social.librem.one/@agx/106392894382489327

@agx
Wow it nice. I tried yesteday compiling the livi package by using my Librem5 but i canceled the build because too much time of build. : ( do you have plans to share Livi on flathub.org? Or something easy to install it ?

@carlosgonz I dumped a flatpak here: https://honk.sigxcpu.org/tmp/org.sigxcpu.Livi.flatpak - note that this is not meant as a generic player but more as a testing tool - hence flathub might not make sense.

@agx
Thank you Guido i installed as well and tested uplayer it work beautiful and super smooth. : )

@carlosgonz yeah, it's pretty smooth and even more important to me: i can watch video continuously without thermal throttling kicking in or draining the battery too fast.

@agx
uplayer is affected for suspending like lock screen? it happened me.

@carlosgonz it's not #µPlayer, it's #phoc. Happens to all GTK4 apps and I've fixed it with this MR https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phoc/-/merge_requests/252

so will be gone after the next #phoc release.

@agx
Can you update the uPlayer flatpak please i see new improvement.
libgtk4 is going to be available soon to L5 then i can update uPlayer from master, i am not sure if i need Gstreamer 19 to build uPlayer but i tested Gstreamer stock from terminal to see if video hardware accel work but it worked.

@carlosgonz you can try https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.sigxcpu.Livi

@agx
I updated Livi from Flathub but Livi not boot from the file manager Portfolio. So is not working ATM.

@carlosgonz works fine here in nautilus. Any error messages in the console? Does `flatpak run org.sigxcpu.Livi --h264-demo` run?
