VLC doesn’t support wayland. It’s an X application.
take a look at https://arewewaylandyet.com/ https://arewewaylandyet.com/ to find some alternative app for your X-only software
Also make sure to alias vlc to your new alternative, i keep forgetting i don’t have vlc installed anymore...
- wing-_-nuts 4y agoI tired using celluloid which is a gnome wrapper around mpv, but it stopped working. Running it on the command line, I'm prompted with an exception and admonished that wayland support is 'experimental' and known to be unstable.
- sph 4y agoI use celluloid on Wayland. Never crashed. It'd be helpful to know what distro you are using. Fedora has the best Wayland experience of them all, others not so much. You wouldn't have a nice Wayland experience on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for example.
