If the issue is with the DE, I’m actually using the Xfce edition of Linux Mint. I would just use VLC but it gives me performance issues because I don’t have the best hardware and mpv seems to work much more efficiently. But yeah, changing the audio output fixed this issue, I’m guessing the flatpak version of mpv defaults to pipewire. I was curious and I did test pipewire with both versions and I got the same results that they did.

Am I missing something here? I thought X/Twitter always allowed NSFW content.

I know it’s been a while but I tried the flatpak version of mpv and it’s not working. If I open the flatpak version without any music it opens but it becomes unresponsive as soon as I try to load any music. I also have no idea how to diagnose this issue as running the flatpak version in the terminal gives no error messages.

The version that comes with Linux Mint works perfectly fine, so I don’t need the flatpak version, I’m just curious as to why the flatpak version doesn’t work.

I might try that later because, like I said earlier, I got the version of MPV that’s already installed to play YouTube videos and that fine for me. I also made configurations to the preinstalled version and I don’t know if it would be easy, or even possible, to transfer them to the flatpak version.

Well, while MPV might be outdated, I already mentioned that I was able to get YouTube videos working by downloading a newer version of yt-dlp and creating a conf file for MPV that links to it. While I was looking into the problem, the versions available in apt for all three of these are outdated by at least a year, possible 3 years for MPV. I’m not sure if this is just a Linux Mint issue but I have noticed that a lot of the software both preinstalled and available in it’s repository, are pretty outdated.

I might try downloading the newer versions of these later. I got MPV working and that’s good enough for me right now.

I got YouTube videos working in MPV. While I have no idea if the way I did it was technically not correct, all I did was download the newest version of yt-dlp from github and created a file name mpv.conf which links to the yt-dlp python file. I was also able to set a preferred resolution using that conf file.

VLC still gives me the same error message.

For MPV, it gives me the following error message:

`mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e9_l2oGxdw [ytdl_hook] ERROR: [youtube] 3e9_l2oGxdw: Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q= , filling out the appropriate issue template. Confirm you are on the latest version using yt-dlp -U [ytdl_hook] youtube-dl failed: unexpected error occurred Failed to recognize file format.

Exiting… (Errors when loading file) `

I just tried that and it’s not working for me. MPV just closes itself and VLC gives me an error message. Do I need to do more that just drag and drop the URL?

Also, something else that is interesting, there was a developer named DeNA Corp. They were the developers for Final Fantasy Record Keeper*. Despite the fact that the game has been EOL for about 1 and a half years now and the Developer’s account seems to have been deleted, I can still download the game. I don’t think it works anymore but it’s something interesting I thought I’d bring up.

*The link works for me when I’m logged in but it doesn’t work when I’m not logged in, so it might not work for you if you’ve never downloaded that game before.

I’m not sure why your comment is just now showing up in my inbox but I’ve looked into it and there are developers who haven’t updated or released any apps in the last 5 years and I can still see and download their apps. An example I can give is mkrupczak3, who has only released one app and it hasn’t been updated in almost 5 years.

I forgot to mention it in my previous comment but because I don’t own the crew, the only option available for me in my country, is to spread it on social media. I’m also going to add that link to my post because I just realized that I probably should.

That’s the “movement” that I was referring to in my post.

I mean, if that was the case, why didn’t they mention that anywhere and wouldn’t their website also be shut down as well?

But the thing is that, even with apps that haven’t updated in years, I can usually download them from my library. But in the case of DreamSky, every app they ever released is completely missing from my library, they’re even missing from my purchasing history.

I know I can do that, but that’s not the problem here. I’ve seen developers remove old games before but I’ve never seen an entire developer completely disappear.

Also, I’ve had no problem in the past with downloading old apps from the Google Play Store. For example, about a month ago, I downloaded a game that was last updated in 2016. The Google Play Store usually allows you to download old apps from your library, but as I stated in my post, their apps are completely missing from my library.

Doesn’t this violate HIPAA, or does HIPAA not cover this?

I’m a bit confused as to how this could be an alternative to social media. The only things I’ve known RSS feeds to be used for are keeping up with subscriptions on platforms like YouTube and Odysee or updates for games like RuneScape.

Also, I just want to say that the last time I heard someone use the term “vcard”, it meant something completely different and I was confused at first.

So I just read the article and I was right and I’ll be editing my comment to reflect that.

Also, I did just re look at the tweets, they weren’t calling for the mass genocide of gay people, they were calling for the mass genocide of jewish people. The problem was that the tweet was linked with another tweet where they used the F-slur, so I forgot they said “jews” and not the F-slur. I’m going to have fix that too.

Just out of curiosity, have you even seen any of the tweets that I’m referring too?

While I have no problem with what Sweet Baby Inc does, I hate that all of the articles defending them (like this one) refuse to acknowledge a lot of the reasons why they are getting backlash. Like all of the tweets from SBI employees that either use racist/anti-LGBT slurs or advocate for the mass genocide of Jewish people or the fact that this whole thing started because SBI started a harassment campaign towards the creator of a steam group despite not having any information that actually proved that the group was in the wrong and also ignoring the fact that the group was created by someone from Brazil and claiming that the group was created by right-winged conspiracy theorists.
