IINA is only on macOS. I looked up linux alternatives but none of them seem to have similar looking UIs, at least out of the box. I want the player UI to float on top of the video + with a blurred background, it as shown in the image; or at least the ability to theme it like so.

      this is what i came here to suggest. it comes default with gnome now on most distros and looks pretty awesome. IIRC it’s based on mpv, so you won’t have issues playing back media.

        I somehow keep running across videos that won’t load in Clapper, Showtime, mpv, VLC, or Handbrake, and Nautilus won’t show thumbnails for them. It’s very frustrating. Supposedly I’ve already installed all the available codecs from RPMFusion, but still get the “codec missing” error on a bunch of videos.

        Jellyfin on the other hand, it plays everything I’ve ever thrown at it. I don’t know what the hell it’s doing differently from the other video players on my system, but it works great.

          did you get the proprietary codecs installed? i never heard of VLC failing to play anything that isn’t actually corrupted, this one is a first.
