## Installation from Flatpak (recommended)
The `Flatpak` package includes all required dependencies and codecs.
Additionally it also has a few patches, thus some functionalities work better (or are only available) in `Flatpak` version (until my changes are accepted upstream).
It is provided as an easy "just install and use" solution.

#### Arch Linux
You can get Clapper from the AUR: [clapper-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clapper-git)
**Important:** If you build `Clapper` from source code or install it using any other packaging system than `Flatpak`, you will still need some additional `GStreamer` elements and patches that are not upstreamed in `GStreamer` source code yet.
The requirements and how to build from git source code are described in the [wiki](https://github.com/Rafostar/clapper/wiki#installation-from-source-code).

All these libs are acting "on their own" and no function calls from `GJS` related to video decoding and rendering are performed during playback.
**Q:** What settings should I set to maximize performance?<br>
**A:** As of now, player works best on `Wayland` session. `Wayland` users might want to try enabling the experimental `vah264dec` plugin for improved performance (this plugin does not work on `Xorg` right now) for standard (8-bit) `H.264` videos.

It can be enabled from inside player preferences dialog inside `Advanced -> GStreamer` tab using customizable `Plugin Ranking` feature.
Since the whole app is rendered using your GPU, users of VERY weak GPUs might try to disable the "render window shadows" option to have more GPU power available for non-fullscreen video rendering.
