Simple and modern media player

Clapper is a modern media player designed for simplicity and ease of use. Powered by GStreamer and built for the GNOME desktop environment using GTK4 toolkit, it has a clean and stylish interface that lets you focus on enjoying your favorite videos.

Clapper uses a playback queue where you can add multiple media files. Think of it like a playlist that you can build. You can easily reorder items or remove them from the queue with a simple drag and drop operation.

In this release Clapper code was rewritten from scratch. Now split into two libraries and an application built on top of them, with:

Brand new, simplified and consistent UI
Player now operates on playback queue model
Multiple queue progression modes to choose from (consecutive, repeat item, carousel, shuffle)
New media info window (shows media information and GStreamer elements used to play it)
More dialogs and windows use libadwaita
Multiple new status/info overlays showing what is going and other messages
Added video buffering animation
Clapper will now inform users about missing GStreamer plugins needed for playback
Video chapters now appear throughout the seek bar on hover and while dragging slider
Vastly expanded MPRIS implementation
Integrated media discovery (see titles of queued items instead of URIs)
Expanded WebSocket server functionality (for remote playback control)
Increased maximum volume amplification level to 200%
Added some new keyboard shortcuts
In addition to volume, now also speed and queue progression mode are restored on launch
Fixed keyboard shortcuts not being reversed (e.g. seek) in RTL languages
Toggle play moved to left mouse button, right one now opens context menu (which was previously hard to access)
Many bug fixes and QoL improvements
