net.lutris.Lutris VS org.qutebrowser.qutebrowser

Are you using flatpak? Could be this issue or similar. There are quite a few pitfalls with Wine video decoding unfortunately.

Flatkill is full of misinformation or no longer true information. There're many posts debunking most of their points [1]. Some parts were true a few years ago but aren"t anymore.

For example if VSCode wouldn't have direct access to the file system, it would be unuseable since it doesn't support portals to ask the user to grant it access to specific folders (by selecting them through the file picker).

In the process of packaging an app for flathub, the packager has to provide some reason for why for example full file system access is necessary. The discussion to add or remove permissions are always open [2].

https://flathub.org/apps/details/net.lutris.Lutris is always best option for lutris, if your distro is okay with flatpak.

Probably easiest to get Lutris as a Flatpak https://flathub.org/apps/details/net.lutris.Lutris

You can install lutris via flatpak. link

> One thing I don't know about (which maybe somebody can inform me/us about): the wiki states that PRs are reviewed by Flathub reviewers, but I see no sign of human review on e.g. https://github.com/flathub/com.bitwarden.desktop/pull/167 (or others in that repo). What's the actual process?

In this case, I think the lack of human involvement is mostly a good thing. Flathub was criticised for having outdated packages[1]. Using automation to automatically update packages is mostly a good thing.

Obviously, we want to see thorough review of new packages, but that's a separate issue.

[1] I thought I read this in an LWN article, but I can't find it. But see e.g. https://github.com/flathub/org.qutebrowser.qutebrowser/issue...

If you're already testing the userscripts, any chance you can report here. I'm not using qutebrowser currently, so testing the userscripts is a bit lower on my to-do list.

Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I've been looking for a solution to this problem for a while now and I'm posting here because I haven't been able to find anything. I'm using the command :spawn mpv {hint-url} --ytdl-format="bestvideo[vcodec!=?vp9]+bestaudio/best" under a bind to move youtube videos into an mpv instance in order to bypass ads. However, I'm using the flatpak version of qutebrowser (as the version on apt is very far out of date -- I'm using Ubuntu), and when I try to use the bind to open a youtube video, I get the following error message: flatpak-spawn-wrapper: Please enable host access. For more details visit https://github.com/flathub/org.qutebrowser.qutebrowser/wiki I've tried using the command sudo flatpak override org.qutebrowser.qutebrowser --filesystem=host and rebooting, but after doing this, my browser throws the same error.

Probably relevant, if that's not you as well: alsa support? · Issue #126 · flathub/org.qutebrowser.qutebrowser

I don't understand what you're asking - you should find the permissions and such in the Flatpak YAML, no?

You might want to open an issue in the qutebrowser Flatpak repository asking for some documentation on how to get mpv to work - the maintainer there is usually quite responsive.

I think so, though I don't think I've ever tested it.
