I have been trying to install lollypop or elisa players as flatpak, but I get these errors when it tries to install Gnome or KDE platforms,

Other programs that no not need gnome/kde platforms were installed and run just fine, the system is up to date.
From what you describe,
Either the authors of those apps didn’t write their apps well
or
You’re not reading the description and requirements of the app.
I don’t know that what you’re describing is an openSUSE issue (as, something that openSUSE needs to fix) from the info you posted.
If you don’t believe the problem is User Error, the authors of those Flatpak apps should be notified of your problem.
I was hesitant to bring this up in here since it seems to be a flatpak issue,
but I opened threads on flathub’s forums regarding this, so far, no response,
not bashing, surely they have their hands full.
I was hoping to figure out if someone else has this issue in tumbleweed,
maybe leap, or it is just me.
It seems like not a lot of forums users use flatpak. I’m not using it myself so unfortunately I don’t run into these problems.
But hopefully somebody will be able to help you
Not knowing the whole story, I’ll mention the following in case it’s helpful. I’m not tech/coder savvy so this is the best I can offer.
Did you reboot and sudo reinstall the Flatpak repo from Flathub?
Did you install Flatpak app via the command line (Flathub) or via the Gnome Software/equivalent in KDE? For Flatpak apps I make sure I’ve tried both. If Gnome Software isn’t working I make sure I go in the Yast repo and delete Gnome software then reinstall it. A lot of times that will free up “kinks” when trying to install.

Are you running a DE that is not GNOME or Plasma? On Plasma, I have been able to use Elisa with “zypper install,” although I cannot speak for GNOME Music.
I was using KDE, but now I made a new install, this time I chose Xfce, I was able to install lollypop and elisa as flatpaks,
however, when I run
flatpak run org.gnome.Lollypop
I get this
No protocol specifiedUnable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Gtk-Message: 20:37:19.511: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
(lollypop:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:37:19.883: cannot open display: :99.0
and when I run
flatpak install flathub org.kde.elisa
I get
No protocol specified
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display :99.0
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.
The Xfce desktop included pragha, it works fine so I’m going with that.
I’m going to flathub’s forum and see what I can find out.
