hypnotix freezes up

[mandraid]

I am running Ubuntu 20.04.2. When I go to choose a station on hypnotix, the program seems to freeze up. I see at the bottom of the screen, it says "IPTV: Loading channels".

[Axel-Erfurt]

does this happen at every station?

[mandraid]

yes

It is also freezing for me. running kubuntu 20.04 all Python3 dependencies are installed. Also, attempted to load my own playlist to see if perhaps it was just the server of the one that came with it./ The playlist loaded great and all of the channels were listed, However, like the original, it freezes whenever I attempt to play/open a channel stream. So not the playlist. Is there a way to choose the video player? I feel like this could be the issue-but I have no idea. Thanks though to the people that made this. It looks great can't wait until I can get this up and running! Appreciate the efforts guys, like always...I will stop brown nosing now Im making myself sick.

I downloaded and installed the 1.1 DEB from GitHub and installed in Ubuntu 20.04.

(Linux box 5.11.0-27-generic #29~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 11 15:58:17 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

I noticed an error when navigating through to the player (for TV) and selecting a country (in my case, Canada).

The error appeared to have something to do with MPV and Wayland (I seem to recall something xid, and will post more detail if I can reproduce it).

Logging out, and using Ubuntu (no Wayland) results in things working fine, with stuttering on some channels (and the "not all channels work" caveat).

It seems a fresh Wayland session can produce the error condition, and subsequent runs fail silently.

It wasn't the error described here (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45762522/get-gdk-window-from-xid-under-wayland), but does indicate I probably didn't hallucinate the xid part.

Found the logs...

(and should probably add that I did a minimal Ubuntu install (recently) in this case)

try in terminal

GDK_BACKEND=x11 hypnotix

try in terminal

GDK_BACKEND=x11 hypnotix

That resolved the "nothing happens"/error scenario; however, MPV jumps out of the Hypnotix window, and is larger than the area it would have consumed.

See the screenshot attached.

[Axel-Erfurt]

add

vo=x11

to mpv options in Settings.

Well, that worked!

Took me a bit to find the Settings... didn't realize it only stuck around on the main Hypnotix window (tried editing ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf to set vo=x11... that didn't work)...

Gah!

You are so correct!

Thank you for your patience and perseverance!
