Clapper is a GNOME media player build using [GJS](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs) with [GTK4](https://www.gtk.org) toolkit. The media player is using GStreamer [GstPlayer API](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/player/gstplayer) as a media backend and renders everything via [OpenGL](https://www.opengl.org). Both [GTK4](https://www.gtk.org) and [GStreamer](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org) plugins share a single global GL context which improves performance greatly.

## Q&A
**Q:** Does using `GJS` negatively impact video performance?<br>
**A:** Absolutely not. `GJS` here is used to put together the GUI during startup.
It has nothing to do with video rendering. All used `GTK4` and `GStreamer` libraries are in C.
Even the custom video widget that I prepared for this player (based on original `GTK3` implementation) is in C.
