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.

I had MPV, Celluloid and VLC. After using showtime and trying a bunch of formats, I uninstalled MPV and Celluloid. I also set it as default too (loves the adwaita UI ). VLC is just there as a backup.

Yeah, it looks nice, but as I supposed it's completely garbage right now. It can't open subtitles correctly and I don't understand English or Japanese vocals ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). And also, there is some hesitation when jumping from place to place. I'll come back when it exits alpha or even beta.
