Sound not working #3

The installation went OK with no error - I have no clue how to debug.

The sound is only working with the built-in player for some videos, presumably depending on the codec. Popcorntime is based on NW.js, which is based on Chromium which does not support proprietary codecs. This package is using iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt to enable some (but not all) proprietary codecs. The "official" release of Popcorntime is probably using a custom build of NW.js' ffmpeg.

My solution was to use an external player. Just install VLC with nix-env -iA nixos.vlc, restart Popcorntime, then select VLC like this:

You can use Popcorntime's subtitles with VLC by setting the "Default Subtitle" Popcorntime setting.

Thanks for your answer - I have VLC Installed - It is working for the videos playback - but the player selection on popcorn is mising. .
