Overview Description: RPM package on Fedora 40. Whether it is an mp4 or an mkv file, it errors out saying "something happened".

Steps to Reproduce: Open a video file, be it through the CLI or the GUI

Actual Results: A popup appears with the following message "Playback ended unexpectedly. Reason: something happened"

Expected Results: The playback happens normally

Version: 0.27, the latest on Fedora repo

Additional Information: Log file containing the process. File name has been edited to a generic "file" for privacy.

VLC can play these videos normally.

From what I could understand from the log, it seems not to be able to retrieve any property such as duration, height, width and that it is because "core not uninitialized".

For some reason, no log messages from mpv are coming through, but I see that you're already passing the right option.

Are you able to play the files with mpv?

I couldn't, but it returned something about ffmpeg. I had to install non-free ffmpeg to solve the issue, which sucks. Sorry for opening the issue, but your insight was valuable.
