> So, is Wayland ready?
I'm not that interested in digging into the details of why, but SMPlayer doesn't like Wayland on my system, and SMPlayer is the only video player that I can get to play videos from smb shares without a fuzz. So Xorg it is...
I try to switch every 6 months or so to see if things have improved but, so far the answer is no.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoI use VLC to play files on a smb share under Wayland no problem.
- magicalhippo 4y agoOn my system VLC just doesn't play the files from shares. No problem if I copy the files locally. There's something in the error logs, I spent many hours trying to get it work a year ago but I just gave up and went back to SMPlayer on Xorg. VLC also has issues with audio, apparently VLC doesn't play ball with PulseAudio or something like that, so I get massive audio dropout for quite a while when skipping/jumping in the video file. Yay. Something about clocks going back in time or something. IIRC there's a fix pending, so maybe in a year or two...
- dawidpotocki 4y agoI personally use mpv and never had an issue with playing from SMB.
- l72 4y agoI love mpv on xorg, but there are still have issues on wayland depending on which compositor you are using: > [vo/gpu/wayland] GNOME's wayland compositor lacks support for the idle inhibit protocol. This means the screen can blank during playback.
