Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I've really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

I really like the idea of Celluloid. However, last time I tried, it somehow felt less performant than pure mpv. Colors a bit washed out and not perfectly smooth playback. Should try it again soon.

Yeah, it does have some hickups when playing a movie from my HDD. I think it doesn't prefetch enough data, because I didn't have any issues after copying the movie to a tmpfs.

I still use it over mpv, because I truly cannot stand mpvs UX. But a valid point.
