celluloid VS river

Also their readme ( https://github.com/celluloid-player/celluloid ) suggests there is an RPM package via dnf. Why use flatpak?

Personally I use the mpv-amd-full-git package with the Celluloid fronted. Haruna works fine but it loses some functionality compared to Celluloid, like adding an external audio to a movie. Haruna is far superior in terms of front-end design.

Celluloid

gnome-mpv was abandoned and forked into Celluloid: https://github.com/celluloid-player/celluloid

For those who don't know, Celluloid (which ships with mint) is just a better (imo) frontend for MPV

Both VLC and MPV frontends like Celluloid give you keyboard control over playback speed.

There are GUIs based on mpv that provide a user-friendly interface and just use mpv for playback, see Celluloid [0].

If you can get past some minor wayland related annoyances, river is pretty easy imo, you can write a config in whatever format you want, it just needs to be an executable file, the most common type is a shell script. The actual configuration happens by calling the riverctl program from the file, which from what I've heard is a similar method compared to bspwm.

Coming from awesome you may find river more to your liking than sway.

River crashed everytime I closed Chromium. The developer fixed it in 5 minutes :)

I've written a plugin that implements the river-layout-v3 wayland protocol in Hyprland. This means you can run something like rivertile, river-luatile, rivercarro or kile as a layout provider.

Author here. And yeah, as of 0.6.0 it supports master stack - I just called it stack main. I was in fact inspired by river: https://github.com/riverwm/river. River is really promising but is still in very early development. Sway on the other hand has been around for a long time and I, for now, prefer that stability.

In my very specific case, I'd probably start by taking a look at how animations were previously implemented in river, and then I'd pay careful attention to that transform matrix at the end. I'm not super crazy about the implementation using timers to drive it (versus interpolating where the transform should be across a deadline), but I guess they were going for smoothness.
