> Note that another workaround would be using the environment variable `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb` to use xwayland And of course, maybe it is obvious in this case as WSL2 is meant to run on Windows but, the ultimate workaround would be using the native Windows build. If you are a user, maybe you are not aware (as I have seen on the internet some people are not), but there are nightly builds here (https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc/nightly-win64-ucrt-llvm) that you can get the optimum results on Windows. If you are a developer, for Linux specific things I think it makes more sense to not use a virtual machine (especially for developing a video player), and for Windows specific things I think nowadays it is not so hard to use MinGW-w64 to cross build for Windows. _______________________________________________ vlc-devel mailing list To unsubscribe or modify your subscription options: https://mailman.videolan.org/listinfo/vlc-devel
