Light Video
A simple GTK4 based video player for mobile phones Source
Description
A minimalistic GTK4 and gstreamer based video player for mobile phones like the Librem 5 aiming for minimal battery usage.
It supports:
- Inhibiting suspend/idle when playing video
- Stopping video playback on (i.e. power button toggled) blank
- Registering as default video player in GNOME control center
- An indicator whether hardware accleration is in use
Notice
Provides accelerated video playback, also on PinePhone. Needs to be set as default app for videos, as it lacks a dialog to open files.
