A rewritten Clapper video player made using "Clapper" and "ClapperGtk" libraries.
Since both libraries from this repo are in C, newly rewritten Clapper binary is also in C to
avoid mixing different programming languages in a single repo, thus making maintenance easier.
Not depending on GJS gives us also an additional benefit of supporting different operating
systems or linux shells without pulling GJS as dependency.

An easy to use media playback library (libclapper) as a GstPlayer replacement.
Previously we tried to use upstream `gstplayer` library to control playback and
pass all events from multiple threads GStreamer uses into an app main thread.
Since this caused some thread racy problems and we needed additional ABI breaking
changes to better suit our needs, we ended up with a modified fork of said library
renamed to `gstclapper` as a temporary solution.
This new library simply named `clapper` replaces our previous `gstclapper` solution
and is written completely from scratch by myself. The aim here is to have an easy to
use playback library better suited to work with (but not limited to) GTK and GObject
properties bindings by relying on "notify" signals.
Major differences include:
* Operates on a playback queue (inherits `GListModel` interface) instead of a single URI
* Uses "notify" signals for property changes always dispatched to app thread
* Time is passed/read as decimal number in seconds instead of int64 in nanoseconds
* Integrates `GstDiscoverer` to figure out media info (such as title) before playback
* Easy to use MPRIS support as part of library
* Optional playback remote controls with WebSocket messages
The new library will be distributed with Clapper player. This includes public headers
and GObject Introspection support.
