Clapper 0.10, an open-source media player, strengthens its enhancer plugin system, adding configurability, new plugins, and more.

After eleven months in development following its previous 0.8 release, Clapper, an open-source media player for Linux built on GTK4 and GStreamer, has just released version 0.10.

The main novelty is the migration of MPRIS, Server, and Discoverer functionality out of the core application and into enhancer plugins. These features are now deprecated as built-in components. Applications that bundle Clapper as part of containerized distributions are advised to disable these features at build time and instead ship them as plugins.

    Wake me up when there’s a (non-VLC) player that actually works with DVD menus (with mouse controls)

      wake up!

      mpv maybe? There a bunch of plugins, there’s probably one that does DVD menus. A quick search shows one called “mpv-dvd-browser” that uses the lsdvd utility, interesting. Don’t currently have any DVDs to test that though.

        apparently it also works well with the “mpv-file-browser” plugin too (that is one that I use and it works pretty well)
