Hi all…
Installed KMPlayer on Manjaro KDE → but it doesn’t open on Wayland. x86-64.
AMD Ryzen 3200g Processor. 4 GB DDR4 RAM. No external graphics card.
Also SMPlayer not opening video files in Wayland sessions but is able to do so in X-Org.
egl-wayland installed.

QCommandLineParser: already having an option named “v”

Hm, seems the package in Arch has not been updated in a couple of years.
Maybe wayland has been updated and kmplayer has not followed.

PS: The last release tag of kmplayer was 5 years ago. Maybe it’s time to find another media player?

Thanks.
A suggestion to remove it from the official repository if it is defunct
