Re: MPV media player in BionicPup64 won't play .mkv files

you'll need shaderc from the ppa and quite a lot of other stuff. running in a terminal will show what you need. there's also a few bits from the ppm if not in the ppa

It seems there is different .mkv versions existing. I also have this problem on some .mkv videos. Though, some of them playing fine. I think I can recall an error message like playing mpeg4-2 not supported.

a link to a problem mkv would be could if you're happy to post a link to it

Re: Strange conky issue

hi @WoodLark ,
fossapup uses true transparency for conky whereas bionicpup uses fake transparency which sometimes doesn't work.
try resetting the wallpaper as this can spark it to life.

i like the .pet and will add it to the repo but need to make some changes to it first as it overwrites users configs for conky etc.
i'll look into a better working pinstall.sh that may prompt the user and also make backups
