About Clapper

Simple and modern GNOME media player. Clapper is a GNOME media player built using GJS with GTK4 toolkit. The media player is using GStreamer as a media backend and renders everything via OpenGL. The player works natively on both Xorg and Wayland. It also supports hardware acceleration through VA-API on AMD/Intel GPUs, NVDEC on NVIDIA, and V4L2 on mobile devices. The media player has an adaptive GUI. When viewing videos in "windowed mode", Clapper will use mostly unmodified GTK widgets to match your OS look nicely. When the player enters "fullscreen mode" all GUI elements will become darker, bigger, and semi-transparent for your viewing comfort. It also has a "floating mode" which displays only video on top of all other windows for a PiP-like viewing experience. Mobile-friendly transitions are also supported. We improved the GL/GLES context automatic selection. Additionally, it also has a few patches, thus some functionalities work better (or are only available) in Flatpak version.
