Need to try it out!

Flathub

This could be the Qt replacement for Celluloid, a modern flatpacked MPV GUI

I’ve been using Haruna for a while instead of VLC because it works with Wayland. Menus can be hidden, lots of options: configurable hotkeys, VAAPI enabled, allow multiple instances, etc. It remembers position in last video when reopened, overall it’s very nice.
