One thing bothering us when playing videos with our little, mobile friendly video player #livi was that playing from video sites like #peeretube or #youtube showed very little information in #phosh's media player widget. This is now fixed on Livi's main branch where it fetches the necessary bits from #ytdlp to display a thumbnail and artist information making it a better companion to the pipeline app too.
We've improved a bunch of other things like faster seeking as well. -

Note that offloading currently requires HW decoding - something I hope we can change next cycle. #livi will display a little icon in the top-left if hardware decoding and thus offloading is not used.
Whenever HW decoding and offloading works I'd expect the player to be competitive to whatever other favorite player you have performance wise.

For those of you interested in our recent video offloading / zero-copy playback work: I quickly put together some #livi #flatpak s to make it easy to test stuff already. Compositor offloading should work on all semi-recent Intel/AMD and a variety of ARM64 devices.
If you trust the sandbox you can get them here:
