TRYX Panorama Manager 2.5.1

TRYX Panorama Manager 2.5.1

Highlights

• TURRIS 620 is now a full display target: device media library with the
  built-in presets, Apply with Single, Loop and Shuffle, deletion, brightness,
  backlight and mirror control, and the CPU/GPU overlay on the 1280 × 720
  layout.
• Images, videos and GIFs uploaded to the TURRIS 620 play after Apply. Media is
  encoded the way the official application does it, and uploaded files get
  names short enough for the device's player.
• TURRIS commands are negotiated per USB connection. A command the device
  rejects or leaves unanswered only switches off that feature; uploads keep
  working. Apply and delete no longer pause for three seconds.
• In the Flatpak, a file dragged from the host file manager is resolved through
  the desktop portal, so drag and drop works without home directory access.
• A reinstalled package always shows its own interface: the GUI no longer
  reuses the on-disk QML cache.

Thanks

• @mrjerox tested every TURRIS 620 build on real hardware and sent the logs
  that made the playback fix possible (#25).
• @droupal tested the Flatpak on Bazzite and pinned down the USB portal and
  drag and drop behaviour (#19).

Downloads

This release includes native RPM, DEB and Arch packages, a source archive, and
tryx-panorama-manager-2.5.1-experimental-x86_64.flatpak. All five payload files
are covered by SHA256SUMS and GitHub build-provenance attestations.

The DEB targets Ubuntu 24.04 and Linux Mint 22. The Arch package targets current
Arch Linux. Use the RPM matching the Fedora release shown in its filename;
packages are not interchangeable between distributions.

Experimental Flatpak

The Flatpak requires Flatpak 1.15.11 or newer, the Flathub runtime remote, and a
working USB portal backend. Keep the runtime's related codec extensions enabled.
KDE Platform provides the bundled Qt libraries; it does not require the KDE
Plasma desktop.

After verifying the downloaded file against SHA256SUMS:

flatpak install --user ./tryx-panorama-manager-2.5.1-experimental-x86_64.flatpak
flatpak run io.github.dxvsi.tryx_panorama_manager//experimental

The USB portal asks for device access every time the background runtime starts;
the portal has no persistent grant. Closing the window keeps the runtime and its
grant alive.

When updating an existing Flatpak, keep its current --user or --system
installation scope. After all uploads and Apply operations have finished, stop
the running instance with flatpak kill io.github.dxvsi.tryx_panorama_manager
and launch the updated application again. Settings and media do not need to be
removed.

Known limitations

• TURRIS 620 support is community-tested and has not been reproduced on
  maintainer-owned hardware. Split screen, waterfall orientation, custom badge
  text, Save as new, Replace, saved layouts and firmware operations are not
  available for it.
• TURRIS media uploaded with earlier test builds may stay black after Apply.
  Delete those files and upload them again with 2.5.1.
• The Flatpak remains experimental and is not published on Flathub. Legacy
  serial/ADB, firmware flashing and desktop autostart remain unavailable in it.
• Drag and drop in the Flatpak needs a source that offers a portal file
  transfer, such as Dolphin or a GTK file manager. The file chooser button works
  with any source.

Updates remain manual; the application does not download or install itself.
