Hi
Thanks for the reply. It does seem to be vlc problem. I have installed
mpv and it works without any problems.
I am running gnome desktop but it keeps crashing. Maybe that is
causing an additional problem.
As you are aware the system has been buggy from the start. I thought
it was sorting itself out!
I have used rpmfusion. Didn't know about folks with hats though. How
do I use fedy though? I can't see an application etc.
Thanks
Rich
