About Glide
Glide is a simple and minimalistic media player relying on GStreamer for the multimedia support
and GTK for the user interface. Glide should be able to play any multimedia format supported by
GStreamer, locally or remotely hosted.
Once Glide is running you can use some menus to switch the subtitle and audio
tracks, play, pause, seek and switch the window to fullscreen.
How to install Glide

- Prefer the command line? With Flatpak you can install and update it with: flatpak install flathub net.base_art.Glide
- Open Glide once it finishes installing.
