While OpenShot is open, other apps can't use the codecs?

I'm using Ubuntu Linux 19.10 (pop_os actually) and OpenShot 2.4.4 from appimage - also tried 2.5.0 release candidate. While I have OpenShot open, I'm not able to play audio/video from other applications.

For instance, YouTube videos or YouTube audio library (mp3s) . Once I close OpenShot, YouTube starts playing.

It's like it steals the codecs for itself?

Any ideas?
 


Not sure offhand!
At home, I’m currently using the version of openshot in the Debian repo’s to edit a video for the band.

I can’t remember if I tried watching any other videos whilst editing the other day (I often stream videos via Netflix, or amazon whilst working at home).

I’ll take a look at some point this weekend and will see what I can find out!
 
Beyond my paygrade, but subject to what you & Jas find, Rob ...

They have a presence at GitHub

https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/issues

and a fellow named DylanC who maintains the PPA seems quite helpful.
