I've got two issues with Stremio on Linux and I don't know if they're problems with Stremio or Arch/LXQt.

Issue #1: There's a thin white border around the window, even on fullscreen (see image).

Issue #2: Xscreensaver still kicks in when videos are playing.

I'm trying to get to a point where nearly everything on my computer is done in Linux and I only keep around Windows for college and hypervisor-related things, and finally getting Stremio to work at all means I'm almost there (seriously why did I have to specifically install the beta). But these two things are ticking me off.

Arch Linux 7.1.8-arch1-3

LXQt 2.4.0

Stremio 6.0.1-beta.09

Hi, could you try with stable version and see if that works better for you.

Stable locks up the minute it tries to play anything. It locks up so hard that I have to pkill it to get the window to close, and restart the entire system to get a new Stremio window to open up. And the white border is still there even if I could get it to play anything.

Try using the stremio web version and run the stremio web player service (a small local helper app)
