⁉️ FAQ

- **¿Why my server crashes on startup using (Neo)Forge?** - *WaterMedia can't run on server-side, you should remove the jar from server-side and keep it just on client-side. Fabric on the other hand still needs to keep the WaterMedia jar on server-side* - **¿Can I use VLC 4?** - *No* - **¿Why game crashes when I have FancyVideo-API?** - *Because FancyVideo-API and its forks are incompatible with WATERMeDIA, both libraries collides each other on load VLC and both ends in can't be able to load VLC, this applies for all other multimedia APIs* - **¿Can I install VLC via Flatpak or Pacman?** - *No, in fact, any package install solution that uses sandboxed installations can't be used with WATERMeDIA, Minecraft, VLC and WATERMeDIA must be installed in native ways (like APT-GET)*
