Please include instructions to compile from source in major distros like Debian and fedora.
(List of dependencies and package names)

Including deb and rpm packages would also be great.

This is a great video player which is very customizable and powerful. Unfortunately since available only as flatpak, it's really hard to give it a try for those who don't use flatpak. For new users to try for first-time, Appimage packaging would also be greatly helpful.

Added list of dependencies and build instructions to readme.

Not from me. Ask your distro.

The flatpak is the easiest way to install and works great, if people don't want to use it it's their problem.

flatpak comes with a huge download size and also storage usage, so for first try, not an attractive option. Atleast appimage would be great since it is portable. I have to convince people a lot that a player is worth installing around 800 mb flatpak downloads.

works great

agree
