GNOME Replaces Totem Video Player with Showtime

Roll credits on Totem, roll camera on Showtime — GNOME developers have cast a new video player for a staring role in GNOME 49, out in September. Per an upstream change now merged, the aged GTK3 video player Totem has been replaced by newer, fresher and modern GTK4/libadwaita app Showtime in the GNOME Core Apps lineup. Like its predecessor Totem, Showtime’s user-facing name in GNOME 49 will morph into the generic moniker of Video Player (though I’d wager most of us will still call it by its codename, the same way we refer to Files as Nautilus). Showtime may be new in GNOME’s Core
