Are you by any chance streaming the audio over Bluetooth? Created attachment 187454 [details] attachment-3461514-0.html Hi Nate, yes, I'm streaming over Bluetooth - which works fine with other apps.

Created attachment 187465 [details] attachment-3557756-0.html Hi Nate, I cannot say wether it works without stutter over the notebook speakers. I had uninstalled Elisa, annoyed by the bug. No I have reinstalled it though not the flatpak but the dnf version instead. And it doesn't stutter over bluetooth! Seems to be an issue in the flatpak package. BTW the other apps I tried like Strawberry are flatpaks and work well with bluetooth.

Seems to be Flatpak-related indeed. I can reproduce it with the version on Flathub as well as the version in the KDE nightly Flatpak repo. The Fedora Flatpak version is fine, interestingly. A difference is that the Fedora Flatpak version uses the QtMultimedia backend with its own GStreamer backend, while the Flathub/Nightly builds use the LibVLC backend with its own ffmpeg backend. Looks like this is a known upstream issue that's already been fixed: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-ios/-/issues/1339 Unfortunately it's only fixed in libvlc 4.0 which has been in development for ages with no clear timeline for a release. In the meantime, maybe we should switch to the QtMultimedia backend. Or just drop the Libvlc backend and its abstraction later entirely and only rely on QtMultimedia. Closing in favor of an existing, older bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 443184 *** |
