im facing some weird issue with media players on fresh linux mint installation: neither mpv, haruna or celluloid will play any video file. upon drag-dropping an ordinary mp4 file, these hang and require terminating process. the only flatpak player that works is vlc - no issues there.
i tried reinstalling flatpaks, trying out different nvidia drivers and no luck
i had no such issues on previous installation of mint - videos in mentioned players were opening without issues.
is there some runtime my installation may be missing? im using gtx 1080 gpu. or perhaps its some permissions, environment issue?
update: for sake of tests i just deployed another fresh mint install on a spare disk and same thing happens with all 3 mentioned programs above. guess this might be a distro issue.
i tried all available drivers for mint for my gpu and no luck - it still pairs same extensions for flatpak tho. doesnt matter if its nvidia-driver-535 right now or 545, or the oldest 390 - problem repeats.
i did deploy another installation, this time with mint cinnamon and out of blue celluloid was able to play videos while haruna and mpv didnt. and i also tried zorin but there wont be surprises - videos were played in all 3 programs.
anyway, heres what pops in the console:
flatpak run -v org.kde.haruna

thats for haruna and its nearly the same for other two - the differences are within messages about gui libs but no error is recorded whenever i press play or close the window
frankly, i think ill just abandon mint and swap to something else.
