Description
Clapper is a sleek and contemporary media player designed for the GNOME desktop, developed utilizing GJS in conjunction with the GTK4 toolkit. This media player operates on GStreamer as its backend and utilizes OpenGL for rendering. It is compatible with both Xorg and Wayland systems, ensuring seamless functionality across different environments. Furthermore, Clapper takes advantage of hardware acceleration, supporting VA-API on AMD and Intel GPUs, NVDEC on NVIDIA graphics cards, and V4L2 for mobile devices. The player features an adaptive graphical user interface (GUI) that adjusts when switching to "windowed mode," predominantly using standard GTK widgets to align with the native look of your operating system. In contrast, the "fullscreen mode" alters the GUI elements to become darker, larger, and semi-transparent, enhancing your viewing experience. Additionally, it offers a "floating mode," allowing the video to remain visible above all other applications, resembling a picture-in-picture (PiP) experience. The transitions are also optimized for mobile devices, making it user-friendly. Recent enhancements have improved the automatic selection of the GL/GLES context, and the player includes several patches, which provide better performance or exclusive features in the Flatpak version, enriching the overall user experience. Moreover, Clapper's continuous development aims to incorporate user feedback for future updates.
