Clapper - Flathub repo (SOLVED but for the dev...)

Hardware Librem 5
1

Problem: video not displayed out of the box on l5
ERROR REPRODUCE:

  1. reflash pureos
  2. in pureos store: searrch for ‘Clapper’ and install it
  3. try to open an mp4 video: app starts but no video displayed
    NB: flatpak list shows:
    Clapper com.github.rafostar.Clapper/aarch64/stable
    puri platform sm.puri.Platform (43)
  4. uninstall it

SOLUTION:
5. install flathub with flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
6. install the flathub version: flatpak install -y flathub clapper
NB: 7 packages are being installed
7. open an mp4 file. IT WORKS

CONCLUSION: default pureos flatpak repo is missing packages (opengl and others?) for apps which needing them.
