    Hi all,

    I'm currently trying to get the Jellyfin Media Player working, but it freezes whenever I click play. Every other part of the client is available if done before attempting to play a file. See https://imgur.com/a/MkDhEi1 for example

    Currently running version 1.12.0 from Flathub, but it also occurs when downloaded manually
    OS is Pop!_OS running on latest version
    Media playback works as expected when played in browser on the same OS, issue only affects desktop client
    No issues when using Windows on the same computer, works as expected
    Server is also running on Pop!_OS on a different computer, and playback works as expected from the server client on that device
    Running Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU with Nvidia drivers, if that helps

    Logs generated when this happens are the exact same as when it works, so I'm really confused.
