Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Fedora Linux
• Version: 39
• Installation Method: Flatpak

Additional context Logs: jellyfinmediaplayer.log I can use --disable-gpu which seems to fix the issue, however, I would like to use HW acceleration. I'm happy to assist if more information is required.

Seems to be the same behaviour on Arch Linux currently

Version: com.github.iwalton3.jellyfin-media-player 1.9.1

For my system, this only occurs using Wayland. If using X11 it works fine.

I concur, same issue on Arch (the AUR bin package)

[ToadKing]

Also getting it on Arch. Happens on KDE 6.0 in Wayland. Not sure if it's related but I have an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 with 550.54.14 drivers.

EDIT: Nvm, my problem looks like #165. The command in this comment made it work for me: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-media-player/issues/165#issuecomment-1575518323

Having the same issue on Fedora Silverblue with an Nvidia GPU. Was able to workaround the issue by following the solution in #365 and disabling the Wayland socket with FlatSeal.

[wold9168]

same problem on debian 12 It seemed like a universal phenomenon. I noticed that some of the flatpak software packages would display a black screen if the 3D acceleration was enabled. I haven't encountered similar issues when I use the AMD GPU. And I found that all problematic programs have processes in nvidia-smi. Maybe the NVIDIA proprietary driver has something to do with this.

btw, the problematic programs i mentioned above is referred to YesPlayMusic, an open-source music. I saw others have similar problems: #365 net.cozic.joplin_desktop #10
