nuvio-linux v0.1.21-alpha-2 (AUR -bin gap fix + libstdc++ dep fix)

nuvio-linux 0.1.21alpha-2

Upstream 0.1.21-alpha — unchanged. This is a packaging-metadata fix
release (pkgrel 2); no application changes.

The gap

AUR nuvio-linux-bin 0.1.21alpha-1 shipped without a package()
function. The PKGBUILD downloaded the release tarball and correctly
verified it (sha256 + GPG signature), then discarded the extracted tree —
so every AUR install produced a 0-file package (0.00 MiB installed).

The release package attached here was always complete: the v0.1.21-alpha-1
smoke test validated it directly. What was never validated was the AUR
repack path — that verification step is now part of the release checklist
(makepkg -f in the AUR clone, then confirm the built package is
non-empty before pushing).

Fixes in this release

• AUR nuvio-linux-bin — added the missing package() (copies the
  auto-extracted opt/ + usr/ trees into the package). Verified: 296
  entries, 235 MiB installed, desktop entry + icon present.
• All packages (nuvio-linux, -bin, -git) — dropped the
  libstdc++ dependency. It is not a vanilla-Arch package: gcc-libs
  provides the C++ runtime, and only CachyOS repos ship a package by that
  name — so dependency resolution failed on non-CachyOS systems.
• pkgrel bumped to 2 across all three so package managers pick up
  every change.

nuvio-linux 0.1.21-alpha-1 — upstream source, Arch Linux packaging only

nuvio-linux 0.1.21alpha-1 tracks the official upstream NuvioDesktop 0.1.21-alpha release. It is built from that source unmodified — with only the Arch pkgrel added.

A change in direction for this repository

NuvioLinux began as a hard fork of NuvioDesktop, carrying Linux-specific playback work, a rebrand, and additional package formats. Upstream has since implemented proper libmpv and GTK3 integration natively, delivering smoother, fully hardware-accelerated playback that passed all of our testing. The fork and its divergent code are therefore no longer needed — the hard-fork era is over.

Arch Linux packages only, from now on

Effective immediately, NuvioLinux-unofficial publishes Arch Linux packages exclusively. AppImage, Flatpak, RPM and DEB builds will no longer be released from this repository — those formats are built and released by upstream, and we ask all users to switch to the official upstream packages:

• Upstream releases page: https://github.com/NuvioMedia/NuvioDesktop/releases/latest
• The matching 0.1.21-alpha release: https://github.com/NuvioMedia/NuvioDesktop/releases/tag/0.1.21-alpha

Upstream ships AppImage, Flatpak, DEB and RPM packages for Linux x86_64, plus DMG installers for macOS and MSI for Windows. This repository will keep building Arch Linux packages that track upstream releases until upstream adopts Arch packaging of its own — at that point this repository will retire.

What is in this package

• Built from the unmodified upstream 0.1.21-alpha source release
• Bundled Temurin 21 runtime — no system Java required
• Playback via the system libmpv (mpv dependency), with hardware-accelerated decoding through your usual VA-API/VDPAU setup
• P2P streaming included (bundled TorrServer)
• Installs to /opt/Nuvio; launcher at /usr/bin/nuvio

Upgrading from previous NuvioLinux releases

This package is signed with a new packaging key (9201A54A09675CBEBAD08647EDDA55C8236D6C88); trust it once using the commands below. The AUR packages nuvio-linux-bin (0.1.21alpha-1) and nuvio-linux-git (r2605.g785df9c3-1) have been updated accordingly and now build upstream source directly — a simple AUR upgrade moves you over.

Thank you

Thank you to everyone who used, tested, reported issues, and supported Nuvio Linux throughout the hard-fork period. Your feedback genuinely shaped this project, and it would not have reached this point without you. Nuvio on Linux is in a better place now — it simply lives directly upstream.

0.1.20-alpha-5

Nuvio Linux 0.1.20-alpha-5 — render-pipeline upgrade + interaction fixes

This release rebuilds the desktop playback pipeline end-to-end and fixes three
long-standing interaction bugs. All packages are built from the same source
(render-pipeline-upgrade merged to dev), verified per-format before upload.

Render pipeline

• Direct-write frames: mpv now writes video straight into Skia pixel memory
  (stride-aware via GL_PACK_ROW_LENGTH / SW_STRIDE), deleting the per-frame
  CPU copy (~800 MB/s at 4K24) and one of three per-slot allocations.
• Event-driven frame pump: the frame producer sleeps until mpv signals a new
  frame (bounded 50 Hz pull) instead of polling at ~1000 wakeups/s — roughly a
  93% reduction in timer wakeups per playing surface, with cadence still locked
  to video FPS (verified 24.0 fps on 24 fps content, both AMD and NVIDIA).
• Playback-quality telemetry: under NUVIO_MPV_DEBUG=1 the per-second line
  now reports mpv-fps, measured bitrate, decoder drops, mistimed/delayed
  frames; decoder transitions (vaapi → vaapi-copy, etc.) are logged
  unconditionally the moment they happen.
• Compatibility Rendering toggle (Settings → Playback → Decoder): forces the
  software render path while keeping decode on the GPU (auto-copy) — a last
  resort for broken GPU driver stacks.

Fixes

• Preferred audio/subtitle tracks now apply reliably on slow-opening
  sources: selection retries key on mpv FILE_LOADED and re-apply opportunistically
  until they latch, instead of giving up after ~3 s from player open
  (previously the container-default track — e.g. French on MULTI releases —
  played for the whole session).
• Volume slider / seek / track switching latency: queued mpv commands now
  apply within ~1–2 ms instead of waiting up to 250 ms in the event loop;
  slider drags no longer trail the pointer audibly.
• Cursor idle-hide: hero/trailer preview surfaces no longer fight the main
  player over the window cursor — the idle timeout is deterministic even while
  previews play.

Notes

• If your ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf sets alang=…, mpv's own default selection
  masks Nuvio's per-track selection; language preferences are applied by the app
  after load either way.
• Dolby Vision HEVC sources that fail zero-copy import now fall back to
  vaapi-copy automatically (existing behavior, verified on RDNA4 with this release).

0.1.20-alpha-4

0.1.20-alpha · Release 4 — The Stability Milestone 🚀

This is the largest hardening pass Nuvio Linux has ever had. Under the hood, an entire layer of the app was rebuilt: playback timing, player teardown, memory management, hardware decoding resilience, and a long list of races and crashes that have been lurking since the early builds. If Nuvio ever felt almost great but occasionally weird — stuttering 4K, mystery crashes, RAM creeping up over a long session — this release is for you.

What was broken (the honest version)

4K HDR playback was "smooth but jittery." Frames averaged the right rate but arrived scattered — the async frame-transfer path we added for weak integrated GPUs was quietly scattering frame delivery on powerful discrete GPUs. We bisected it frame-by-frame on real content, proved the old model itself was the problem, and replaced it with an adaptive engine: deterministic synchronous reads by default, escalating only when measurements prove your GPU needs the async path. Result: locked, judder-free cadence — verified on AMD RDNA4 and NVIDIA across packaged builds.

Closing a popped-out video could crash the whole app. When mpv took over playback outside the app window (for example Dolby Vision content via your own mpv config), closing that window killed the app with it. Root cause: a shutdown race in our native bridge that aborted the process during cleanup. Fixed properly, pinned by a regression test.

Trailer playback was fragile by construction. The old logic preferred live-HLS variants whose streams could degrade into decoder corruption storms. Trailers now prefer proper progressive/adaptive MP4 (H.264 + AAC) chains and only fall back to HLS as a last resort.

Hardware-decode failures spammed errors every single frame, forever. When zero-copy decoding couldn't map surfaces (certain codecs/GPU driver combos), the bridge retried and failed endlessly. There's now a runtime fallback: after a short burst of failures it switches to copy-mode decoding automatically and carries on. Hybrid-GPU laptops also no longer risk decoding on one GPU while the other tries to import the frames.

Memory was held together by strings. Metadata caches grew without limit, a streaming-cache setting was silently doubled by a back-buffer bug, the torrent engine ignored its cache-size setting entirely and stayed resident in RAM all session, and image caching claimed a quarter of your heap by default. All of it is bounded, wired, and measured now — plus blocking subprocess calls were removed from the UI thread, so settings toggles can't freeze the window anymore.

A pile of races and sharp edges, fixed one by one: a use-after-free between rendering and disposal, stale window sizes causing wrong-scale frames, plugin refresh jobs racing each other, Trakt progress maps publishing half-updated snapshots, cookie jars appending duplicate entries, an updater that kept downloading after you cancelled it, and more.

Troubleshooting & reporting

Using a Nuvio online account? Having login/library/sync weirdness?
Please log out and sign back in first — it rebuilds your credentials and re-syncs library state, and resolves the majority of account-related reports on its own.

If playback misbehaves, give us data. Launch from a terminal with debug logging:

# Native package (Arch/deb/rpm/AppImage):
NUVIO_MPV_DEBUG=1 nuvio-linux

# Flatpak:
flatpak run --env=NUVIO_MPV_DEBUG=1 io.github.jjdizz1l.NuvioLinux

Extra knobs for specific problems:

Flag	Use for
NUVIO_MPV_DEBUG=1	Everything playback: renderer init, hwdec status, frame cadence (render cadence:), readback health (readback stats[...])
NUVIO_READBACK=sync	Stutter/judder triage — forces the deterministic path
NUVIO_MPV_HWDEC=auto-copy	Suspected hardware-decode issues
NUVIO_MPV_NO_AUTOFALLBACK=1	Keeps decode from auto-switching, so we can see the raw failure
NUVIO_TRAILER_DEBUG=1	Trailer extraction problems
NUVIO_WINDOW_DEBUG=1	Window sizing/fullscreen issues
nuvio-linux --nvidia-diag	Prints an NVIDIA driver/GPU diagnostic block and exits

Please report issues on GitHub — with data from the application, not just sentences describing the problem. A report we can act on includes: the terminal output from the commands above (especially any [mpv/...], readback stats, or render cadence: lines), your GPU + driver (nvidia-smi or lspci), which package format you run (Arch/deb/rpm/AppImage/Flatpak), your desktop environment, and exact steps to reproduce. Reports with logs get fixed; reports without them usually can't be reproduced.

0.1.20-alpha-2

Nuvio Linux v0.1.20-alpha (release 2)

Aligned with upstream NuvioDesktop 0.1.20, plus everything below. I've worked very hard to get NVIDIA working in the flatpak build, it should be stable, please report issues if you experience any with this build. It's always best to use a native package or AppImage over flatpaks.

Highlights

• Flatpak rebuilt on GNOME Platform 50 with VA-API hardware decoding on every vendor — including NVIDIA VA-API (via the bundled nvidia-vaapi-driver shim). The Flatpak no longer uses CUDA/NVDEC; native packages keep plain NVDEC through the regular NVIDIA driver.
• Memory fixes: the Streaming Cache Size setting is now actually respected (the back-buffer no longer doubles it), trailer previews no longer stack extra full players, TorrServer honors the Torrent cache size setting and shuts down when idle, and the image cache is capped.
• Smoother playback: a new producer/consumer frame pump renders 4K without stalling the UI, fixes judder at 24 fps, and fixes a crash when resizing during playback.
• Trailer improvements: in-app YouTube extraction survives rate-limiting, separate-audio streams play correctly, and poster hover previews are more reliable.
• Bundled JRE updated to Temurin JDK 25 (baseline x86-64 portable).
• Tested on AMD Radeon RX 9070 (Mesa 26.2.1) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (driver 610.57.04) — hardware decode verified on both, including 4K HDR10.

0.1.17-alpha-7

Full GPU acceleration for NVIDIA

This release makes the app fly on NVIDIA graphics cards. If you have an NVIDIA GPU, the whole app — the interface and video playback — now runs on your GPU instead of your CPU.

What changed

• GPU-powered video decoding (NVDEC). Videos are now decoded by your NVIDIA card's dedicated hardware instead of your CPU. High-resolution and 4K content plays smoothly without pegging your processor.
• GPU-rendered interface. Windows, menus, posters and controls are now drawn by your GPU too, so the whole app feels smoother and snappier.
• Zero-copy video path. Decoded video goes straight from the GPU to the screen — no more wasteful CPU round-trips.
• One graphics system for everything. This is the important change under the hood that made the rest possible: NVIDIA doesn't allow two different graphics stacks inside one app, and previously that forced the video player onto the CPU whenever the interface was on the GPU. The player now uses the same graphics path as the interface, so both run on the GPU together.

Flatpak users

• The Flatpak now supports hardware video decoding: NVDEC on NVIDIA, VA-API on AMD/Intel. Previously it could only decode on the CPU even when your hardware supported GPU decoding — that's fixed.
• One caveat: HDR tone-mapping isn't available inside the Flatpak sandbox. Use the native Arch / RPM / DEB / AppImage packages for HDR content.

A note on AV1 hardware decoding

AV1 is the newest video format, and not every GPU has a hardware decoder for it yet:

• NVIDIA — AV1 needs a GeForce RTX 3000 or newer (desktop or laptop). H.264 and HEVC decode on any NVIDIA card from the GTX 750 onward.
• AMD — AV1 needs a Radeon RX 6000 or newer (e.g. RX 6600 / 6700 / 6800 / 6900), or a Ryzen 6000-series processor or newer for laptops and handhelds (like the Steam Deck). RX 5000 cards and older don't have it.
• Intel — AV1 needs 11th-generation Core or newer (Tiger Lake / Rocket Lake and later, including Core Ultra) or an Arc discrete GPU. Older Intel integrated graphics don't have it.

If your hardware isn't listed, AV1 videos still play fine — the app just decodes them on your CPU instead.

0.1.17-alpha-6

Fixes the 4K lag on NVIDIA (issue #13).

NVIDIA GL renderer fallback (issue #13)

The GL renderer previously failed to initialize on NVIDIA — eglMakeCurrent rejects surfaceless contexts on NVIDIA's X11/Wayland platform displays — so playback silently fell back to the CPU software renderer. That CPU color-conversion/scaling of 4K p010 frames was the real cause of the lag, even with NVDEC hardware decoding active. The bridge now falls back to a 1×1 PBuffer surface when surfaceless make-current fails, restoring GPU rendering and correct nvdec selection on NVIDIA in one change.

Full commit list:
ca6870b fix(player): EGL pbuffer fallback when surfaceless make-current fails (issue #13) @JJDizz1L

0.1.17-alpha-5

Hotfix release. Fixes two issues:

KDE screen-sleep during playback (issue #12)

The Flatpak previously held an inhibitor that Plasma 6's PowerDevil silently dropped. The sandbox path now routes through the standard XDG Desktop Portal Inhibit API (org.freedesktop.portal.Inhibit v3) via a bundled helper, which xdg-desktop-portal-kde bridges to a real logind idle inhibitor on the host. Native installs are unchanged (logind via systemd-inhibit).

4K / decode hardening (issue #13)

Hardware-decode selection is now vendor-aware (nvdec on NVIDIA, vaapi on AMD/Intel) instead of the generic auto-copy list, so mpv no longer probes CUDA/drmprime-overlay on non-matching hardware. The app also logs frame drops and a one-time warning when playback falls back to software decode, so lag reports are self-diagnosing.

Full commit list:
1f12c27 fix(power): route Flatpak inhibit through XDG portal Inhibit (issue #12) @JJDizz1L

7ddaf58 feat(aur): add nuvio-linux-bin (prebuilt) package + README AUR options @JJDizz1L

0.1.17-alpha-3

This is release 3 of 0.1.17-alpha; it supersedes v0.1.17-alpha (release 2, published 2026-08-07) and includes additional sync/auth fixes, the Flatpak screen-sleep fix, and the release-notification toast. It restores the upstream server identity for cross-app sync parity.

⚠️ Important: sync identity change (please read)

0.1.17 restores the upstream sync identity — client-id prefix nuvio-mobile-, device name "Nuvio Desktop", user agent NuvioMobile. Earlier 0.1.16.x builds used a rebranded identity (nuvio-linux-, "Nuvio Linux", NuvioLinux).

If you signed in with a 0.1.16.x build, your device can conflict with the sync service — add-ons may stop loading and settings/progress may not sync.

Fix: in the app, go to Settings → Account → Account and Sync Status → Sign Out, then log back in to your Nuvio account. This re-registers the device with the correct identity.

Fresh installs are unaffected.

Highlights

• New AUR package — nuvio-linux-git (VCS, builds the dev branch).
• New AUR package — nuvio-linux-bin (compiled from dev branch).
• 0.1.17 upstream alignment — player UI, subtitles & libass styling, watched/projection refinements, provider-credential sync, merged translations, cache-control-aware image loading, and a plugin cache split (see "All changes").
• Screen no longer sleeps during playback (issue #12) — the app holds a logind inhibit (native), and in the Flatpak sandbox it now talks to org.freedesktop.PowerManagement/ScreenSaver (previously blocked by the sandbox D-Bus filter).
• Release notification toast — the disabled in-app updater banner is replaced by a toast that surfaces new releases and links to the releases page. It never downloads or installs anything.
• Sync & auth stability — serialized Trakt/Simkl auth mutations, volatile client-id / credential-sync state, tolerance for malformed remote credential rows, atomic 0600 storage, and account-wipe clearing the sync identity.
• Packaging hardening — all five formats rebuilt with a baseline x86-64 Temurin JRE (no AVX-512 requirement), TorrServer source checksum pinning, DEB/RPM version-revision fixes, and portability checks covering the full runtime.

How this release was built & tested

• All five packages (Arch, RPM, DEB, AppImage, Flatpak) built from the same commit with a baseline x86-64 JRE (Eclipse Temurin 21.0.12) — no AVX2/AVX-512 requirement.
• Each package smoke-tested for playback; the Flatpak was verified with VA-API zero-copy in the sandbox.
• The Arch package is signed with key 54B66A801C9B0D3D471E01376702DBAB3E41EDE1 (short id 6702DBAB3E41EDE1); trust it with pacman-key.
• GitHub Actions pinned to commit SHAs; the Flatpak CI job runs on a self-hosted runner (a documented trust boundary).
• Published manually: the desktop-release workflow requires the version bump to be the final application commit, which wasn't the case for this release.

Known issues

• The app runs under XWayland (no native Wayland backend in the desktop toolkit).
• Alpha status applies — expect breaking changes.

Note (2026-08-13): the Flatpak asset in this release was replaced in place with a build that fixes issue #12 (KDE screen-sleep). It now uses org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement.PolicyAgent.AddInhibition instead of the ineffective ScreenSaver/PowerManagement cookies. Other formats are unchanged and will be rebuilt in the next full release.

0.1.17-alpha

⚠️ Deprecated — superseded by v0.1.17-alpha-3

This release is ~40 commits behind and is missing critical sync/auth fixes, the
Flatpak screen-sleep fix, and the release-notification toast. It also predates
the sync-identity restore — if you installed it, upgrade to release 3 and follow
the sign-out/sign-in steps in the release 3 notes.
