Running Ubuntu 24.10. After installing SwitchFin I try to run the application and I get the following error in my event logs and the application will not run:

bwrap: Can't mkdir /app/lib/ffmpeg: Read-only file system

If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear. Thank you.

Good work! I've been daily driving this client for the past 2 weeks and it has been pretty ideal for my steamos living room pc, works great with a controller or mouse/keyboard, even switching between the two regularly. It's been extremely stable.

I was able to install the version 0.5 flatpak, the newer releases gave me the 'bwrap: Can't mkdir /app/lib/ffmpeg: Read-only file system' error and I haven't really dug into it so far.

I have one feature request: an option to preset the user selection screen on startup, being behind the settings button my roommate never switches profiles and gums up my watch history.

Either way, I appreciate the work you've put in to this, it is an excellent client.

Hi,

Just a quick question, this might be nothing. On nintendo switch, when I check to see the extra data of the file (while it's playing, pressing - I believe) I get this:

...
Resolution 1440 x 608 (window 1280 x 720 framebuffer 1920x1080)
...

This also shows on other media that has a traditional 1920 x 1080 resolution.
Does this mean all my files are actually being displayed in 1280x720 on Switch? It's docked to a 1080p TV.

If you could please clear it up for me.  Either way, great work with the app!

ps4 version has no thumbnails is this meant to happen?

Please port to PS3 too. H.264 should be possible with the CELL CPU.
