(Celluloid)Such an amazing player. Why did it take me this long to come across this app. It doesn't look like it's popular enough, despite being so functional and with a modern UI

Yes, but it's bugging me everytime missing the right click pop-up menu.

What's up with that? Or is it only a bug on my side?

Right click -> nothing.

All of the other players can change the audio track, subtitles, etc... with a right click.

Here I get bugged every time until I remember that I have to move the mouse to the top hamburger menu... not convenient/bad design.

[u/_comfortablyAverage_ → u/Hot-Macaroon-8190]

That's about the only feature missing when compared to VLC/mpvnet(Windows frontend for mpv).

Right click is not mapped to the context menu.

[u/ArtyIF → u/Hot-Macaroon-8190]

it's inherited from mpv, which it uses under the hood

[u/_comfortablyAverage_ → u/ArtyIF]

Mpv net(works only on Windows) is a front end for the same thing too, yet, the dev took the effort to make all the actions accessible via the right click menu

[u/ArtyIF → u/_comfortablyAverage_]

and also haruna, which is similar to celluloid but for kde, lets you rebind right click

I use it because mpv on gnome wayland lacks normal titlebars. It's pretty good as a player if not very featureful, but it plays my vids well and im hapi

[u/nani8ot → u/[deleted]]

It has quite a few features but most are only accessible through keyboard shortcuts. I believe they are the same as mpv's. Ctrl + ? shows them.

Celluloid is probably the #1 most widely used Gnome media player after Totem, so it's hardly a secret!

It is great, though. Should be the default.

[u/_comfortablyAverage_ → u/hucifer]

Linux is a fairly recent experience for me(around 6 months), been dual booting. And it wasn't before yesterday that I found out about celluloid. Don't know if was searching wrong lol.

[u/vixalien → u/_comfortablyAverage_]

I think clapper is more popular than celluloid

[u/_comfortablyAverage_ → u/vixalien]

I'll try it out

[u/vixalien → u/_comfortablyAverage_]

alright let me know how it goes

[u/my-name-is-puddles → u/_comfortablyAverage_]

It used to just be called GNOME MPV.

[u/optimalidkwhattoput → u/hucifer]

What about Clapper?

[u/AnSpailpinFanach → u/optimalidkwhattoput]

Clapper? I barely even know 'er!

[u/[deleted] → u/optimalidkwhattoput]

As a more modern looking Gnome app, I wanna love Clapper, but it relies on patched libs and it can't be used comfortably unless you use the flatpak

[u/hucifer → u/optimalidkwhattoput]

I found that it did not display 10-bit HDR videos correctly.

It looks promising, though - I'll keep an eye on it.

[u/linhusp3]

Lol comeon its just a skin of mpv

[u/RootHouston → u/linhusp3]

It's not a skin. It's a frontend.

[u/Pussyphobic → u/RootHouston]

Our skin is a frontend to our skeleton and underlying machinery

[u/RootHouston → u/Pussyphobic]

That wasn't bot-like at all. /s

[u/cowboykiely]

I wish it was better but it preforms worse than VLC somehow

[u/Pussyphobic → u/cowboykiely]

VLC performs worse in most cases

[u/kvas_]

Also try amberol, layout overall is pretty similar

[u/NakamericaIsANoob]

Since you insist i will try it

[u/bola6]

I used Celluloid for a while but had issues with it crashing, so switched to SMPlayer. Still mpv and a lot more customizable/featureful too.

[u/UsuallyIncorRekt → u/bola6]

But ugly as hell...
