I can add hard dependency: gnome-shell in this case if you think this is better rather then installing ffmpeg. IMHO, the best thing would be for upstream to add some kind of error or information dialog saying why it wouldn't work in the places it wouldn't work and suggesting users install whatever to make it work? Failing that perhaps adjust the desktop file to add a 'OnlyShowIn=Gnome'? But does it work only in Wayland sessions? kevin
