I have a layout playing in one of our schools without problems on a minipc with Debian 12, xibo-player 1.8-R6. The layout contains a video and other textual contents.
When I play the same layout on a minipc with AMD GPU (driver amdgpu), xibo-player stops repeating the following message:
```auto
Gtk-Message: 13:51:47.837: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"
/usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids: No such file or directory
(player:68792): Gdk-ERROR **: 13:51:48.580: The program 'player' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc'.
(Details: serial 274 error_code 11 request_code 149 (unknown) minor_code 2)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Player exited with code 5
```
If I remove the video from the layout, no problem occurs.
NB: `libxapp-gtk3-module` is installed and `/usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids` exists
Do you have any suggestion for me? Thanks so much!

Just checking, are you using x11 or wayland? I notice that videos have problems in wayland, at least in fedora.

I had random video freezings on snap player in latest few versions of fedora, did not try X11.
Could this switch from walyand back to X11 be used as be temporary fix for video’s ?
Sadly Snap player is not supported any more.

I’m using X11 with Xfce.

Is there an alternative to the snap player for Linux (Debian) users?

We want to provide the same native experience for images/video and web embedding as we do for our other players, as well as powerful hooks into the operating system to run commands, build reliable connections, run web servers, etc. Due to various circumstances outside of our control, development of the current player stopped in May 2021. This will be the second player we’ve had to retire for technical reasons. Heading in…
