DreadMore 4 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Is there a working, tested way to set up an external player (such as VLC, mplayer) that was installed from flatpak? I'm asking specifically for SteamDeck, but I guess this happened on other Linux distributions as well. Problem is, no matter what I put into player path, even if I leave the Arguments empty (or put something in, one argument per line) I get always the same results when starting a new movie entry: Error launching process: Type error: Cannot read property 'toString' of undefined Why do I need external players? Because some releases I watch unfortunately have their subtitles so broken included into their .mkv files you have to run it in VLC to make sure they show.

DreadMore 4 Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 Does anyone maybe know if you can add a separate source to VLC (was it called Portalling?) to flatpak and how would it look to add a path to VLC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadMore 4 Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 Sorry to post like this, just want to make sure that whoever is trying to solve issue with subtitles not showing: you need to set Playback options Internet and Home quality high enough so that your movies/series don't get transcoded and it should work after that.

Hi, usually this means the player was unable to launch, or launched but immediately exited with an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
