Hello,
I wanted to try Gnome on Wayland with the Nvidia proprietary drivers,
since that's a change that seems to be coming down the pipe for F36.
Most other things seem to work fine, but I cannot get videos to play,
not in MPV and not in Totem either. I only get audio. However, videos
inside Firefox seem to play just fine. Has anyone experienced this and
maybe found a fix?

Install codecs from RPMfusion? I think Firefox has its own built-in
codecs.

That's a good call, but I already did that before switching over to
Wayland and video works perfectly over on the Xorg side.
Hmm. I don´t use Wayland so have nothing to add.

I don't know what you are using to play the video, but
if you install mplayer (from rpmfusion), it has a gazillion
"VIDEO OUTPUT DRIVERS" (see that section in the man page).
I suspect some video drivers don't work in wayland, but
with mplayer you can try different -vo options to see
if one works.

I tried both MPV and Totem like I explained in the first email, but
neither worked. Mplayer, however, was able to play videos, though
Mplayer itself had no OSD or other kind of interface visible, which I'm
not sure is normal.
That said, after I realized VSCodium also didn't work right (the window
was blank even though the mouse cursor changed to indicate there should
be clickable things on screen) I switched back to Xorg. Seems like
Nvidia isn't quite ready for Wayland just yet. Thanks for the help
anyway. Maybe I'll try again once F36 rolls around.

That is normal. Try vlc if you want an interface.

I don't think this is an issue with Nvidia. I recently tried Wayland
and most of the programs I ran displayed a title bar and nothing else
- this on a system that does not have Nvidia. I think the issue is
that the *program* doesn't support Wayland, and the bit that is
supposed to provide backwards compatibility with X11 isn't
automatically configured.

It must be an NVidia thing. I'm using Wayland with an AMD graphics card
and everything works. Even OBS works now. Any program that doesn't
know about Wayland will use the XWayland server and will work fine as
long they aren't trying to do something special like read other windows.

This does not match my experience with Wayland on F35 (fresh install
using KDE, in case it matters). In my case gimp and xsane only
provided window title bars with no associated windows. I don't
remember what else I may have tried before switching back to xorg. If
it works for you, be happy.

That definitely does matter, since a lot of "Wayland" is implemented by
the window manager. Gnome works great, KDE still needs some work.

The thing is though that I use Wayland on two laptops that have Intel
or AMD graphics, and neither of them exhibit this problem. I couldn't
tell you why you experienced this issue on a system that doesn't have
Nvidia, but I can say for certain that these same exact programs do not
have issues running under Wayland on my other non-Nvidia computers.

I haven't used it for ages, but the letter "o" key was a hotkey to
cycle through the on-screen-display options. Mplayer, itself, is a
command line thing. There were GUIs for it, such as smplayer, that
gave you playlists, etc.

For the record, I'm not the OP. I don't have a problem playing video on
X11.
