libCEC connection errors

Jellyfinmediaplayer linux client taking a long time to open, I looked into logs, and seems it is repeatedly trying to connect to libCEC and failing till it connects.

any idea on what the issue is, and what can i do to fix it.

- Jellyfin.Server 10.9.7.0 running in a docker container on rasp pi
- jellyfin-media-player 1.11.1-2 from AUR
- Arch/Hyprland

I believe the issue is your use of Wayland/Hyprland. This user on github had a workaround that worked for them.

Install JMP via flatpak and disable the setting they mentioned.

thanks, yea flatpak version launched instantly, even tho most of the issues in that thread seems to be related to nvidia gpu, and i have an amd igpu

didnt even need to disable that wayland socket thing
