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](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/) as a media backend and renders everything via [OpenGL](https://www.opengl.org).

## 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 a compiled C 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 can try enabling highly 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 want to disable the "render window shadows" option to have more GPU power available for non-fullscreen video rendering.
