Additional context
Logs: jellyfinmediaplayer.log
I can use --disable-gpu which seems to fix the issue, however, I would like to use HW acceleration.
I'm happy to assist if more information is required.

Seems to be the same behaviour on Arch Linux currently

Version:
com.github.iwalton3.jellyfin-media-player 1.9.1

For my system, this only occurs using Wayland. If using X11 it works fine.

[HamletDuFromage]

I concur, same issue on Arch (the AUR bin package)

[ToadKing]

Also getting it on Arch. Happens on KDE 6.0 in Wayland. Not sure if it's related but I have an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 with 550.54.14 drivers.

EDIT: Nvm, my problem looks like #165. The command in this comment made it work for me: #165 (comment)

[SupremeMortal]

Having the same issue on Fedora Silverblue with an Nvidia GPU. Was able to workaround the issue by following the solution in #365 and disabling the Wayland socket with FlatSeal.

[wold9168]

same problem on debian 12
It seemed like a universal phenomenon. I noticed that some of the flatpak software packages would display a black screen if the 3D acceleration was enabled.
I haven't encountered similar issues when I use the AMD GPU. And I found that all problematic programs have processes in nvidia-smi. Maybe the NVIDIA proprietary driver has something to do with this.

btw, the problematic programs i mentioned above is referred to YesPlayMusic, an open-source music.
I saw others have similar problems: #365 net.cozic.joplin_desktop #10

Getting this on bazzite with nvidia-stable. On flatseal i disabled the "wayland windowing system" and it fixes it.

Otherwise I was getting lots of errors like this:

Fixed on Fedora 41 with nvidia driver v550
