0.1.16.2

Nuvio Linux 0.1.16.2

Package-only hotfix release of 0.1.16-alpha (release 3) — addresses the RPM
executable-permission bug (issue #11) and ships several playback/windowing
fixes accumulated since v0.1.16.1. All artifacts share release number 3.

Fixes & features

• #11 — RPM installs a non-executable launcher (fixed). copyRecursively
  reset file permissions to 0644, so bin/nuvio-linux shipped as 0744
  (owner-exec only) and non-root users got "missing executable permissions"
  when launching from KDE/dnf. The payload now re-applies executable bits
  from the app image (launcher and libapplauncher.so ship as 0755). The
  .deb had the same latent bug and is fixed too.
• #8 — stuck fullscreen on KDE (self-heal). Compose's placement write is
  applied off-EDT via GraphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow and never
  verified; rapid toggling or monitor switches could drop the exit
  transition. Toggles are debounced (250 ms) and the real AWT state is
  verified 150 ms after each transition, force-correcting the WM if it
  didn't honor the request. NUVIO_FULLSCREEN_DEBUG=1 logs the toggle path.
• #7 — XWayland sizing (niri et al.). The Compose layout size lags the
  compositor-assigned bounds by one event; the video render buffer is now
  driven straight from AWT componentResized and windowState.size is
  re-asserted synchronously. NUVIO_WINDOW_DEBUG=1 also logs a 1 s tick to
  capture stuck states.
• Tiling window managers (niri, sway, i3, bspwm, …). AWT assumes a
  reparenting WM; on tiling compositors it can render into a small box in
  the corner of the window. The app now detects non-reparenting WMs before
  the first AWT access and enables _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING in-process
  (JDK 21 reads it via native getenv). Conditional — KDE/GNOME unaffected;
  NUVIO_FORCE_NONREPARENTING=1 overrides; a user-set variable is respected.
• #12 — screen sleeping during playback (KDE). While media plays the app
  holds a logind Inhibit (sleep:idle) via systemd-inhibit, so KDE
  PowerDevil no longer blanks the screen mid-video; falls back to a
  cookie-based org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver/PowerManagement Inhibit via
  gdbus inside the Flatpak sandbox. Released on pause/EOF/dispose.
• Cursor auto-hide. The OS cursor is hidden (blank 1×1) while the
  playback controls overlay is hidden and restored on mouse movement, focus
  changes and dispose.
• Packaging. A single release counter (NUVIO_PACKAGE_RELEASE, now 3)
  drives the Arch pkgrel, RPM Release and the DEB/AppImage/Flatpak
  filenames so every artifact carries the same release number.

Nuvio Linux 0.1.16-alpha

Nuvio Linux 0.1.16-alpha

First release of the 0.1.16-alpha app version. Brings the Simkl tracking integration, Linux player refinements, sync cleanup, and upstream fixes.

Highlights

• Simkl tracking: connect your Simkl account (PKCE/PIN), sync watchlists, watched history, playback progress and scrobbles — including anime with per-season MAL/Kitsu ID tracking.
• Player: fullscreen toggle in the overlay, volume slider + mouse-wheel volume, tap-to-jump seek, smoother sliders, resume from saved position on continue-watching and source switch, skip-outro seek clamp.
• Sync: removed the broken realtime invalidation channel, retry incomplete foreground pulls, desktop navigation layout now syncs across profiles.
• Fix: nuvio-account sign-in works again (Supabase credentials are baked into all packages).
• Packages: Arch, DEB, RPM, AppImage, Flatpak — all built for baseline x86-64.

0.1.15.4

0.1.15.4 release notes

Package release of Nuvio Linux 0.1.15-alpha (app version unchanged).
Rebuilds every distribution with a baseline x86-64 JDK.

Fixed since v0.1.15.3

• App failed to launch with "CPU ISA level is lower than required" on
  x86-64-v3 CPUs (AVX2, no AVX-512) — issue #3. The v0.1.15.2/.3 builds
  accidentally bundled the CachyOS cachyos-znver4 JDK (built for
  x86-64-v4 / AVX-512). All packages are now rebuilt with the baseline JDK;
  the bundled JRE and launcher report x86 ISA needed: x86-64-baseline in
  every artifact.
• Added dist/check-portability.sh so this class of regression fails the
  build instead of shipping.

0.1.15.3

0.1.15.3 release notes

Package release of Nuvio Linux 0.1.15-alpha (app version unchanged).
Rebuilds every distribution with the corrected native bridge and the Flatpak
network/codec/hardware-decode fixes.

Fixed since v0.1.15.2

• Native playback was broken in every package (JNI symbols not renamed
  during the com.nuvio.app → com.nuviolinux.app rebrand): the native
  bridge now exports the correct com.nuviolinux.app symbols, so video plays
  again everywhere (Arch, RPM, DEB, AppImage, Flatpak).
• Flatpak could not play network sources (no network protocols / TLS in
  the sandbox's ffmpeg, and mpv was silently linking the SDK's limited
  ffmpeg instead of our build): the sandbox now ships its own shared ffmpeg
  with network + TLS + a comprehensive codec list (DTS/TrueHD/PCM/MP3/Vorbis/
  WMA/FLAC/Opus/E-AC-3 + h264/hevc/vp9/av1 + vaapi hwaccels).
• Flatpak VA-API hardware decoding for AMD (zero-copy vaapi[nv12]),
  with Intel (iHD via the VAAPI.Intel extension) and NVIDIA (native nvdec via
  CUDA) support built in — validated on AMD, pending real-hardware checks.
• mpv internal log messages are now forwarded to the app logs so stream/open
  failures are visible instead of silently spinning.

Artifacts

• nuvio-linux-0.1.15alpha-2.x86_64.rpm (Fedora/RHEL)
• nuvio-linux_0.1.15-alpha_amd64.deb (Debian/Ubuntu)

• nuvio-linux-0.1.15-alpha-x86_64.AppImage
• nuvio-linux-0.1.15-alpha.flatpak
• SHA256SUMS.txt

All packages require system mpv at runtime except the Flatpak, which bundles
libmpv + ffmpeg built from source.

0.1.15.2

0.1.15.2 release notes

Package release of Nuvio Linux 0.1.15-alpha (app version unchanged). All
distribution formats were rebuilt so every artifact shares the same version
(Arch 0.1.15alpha-1, RPM 0.1.15alpha-1, DEB 0.1.15-alpha, AppImage and
Flatpak 0.1.15-alpha) and ship full desktop integration.

Since v0.1.15.1

• cb8c48f feat(rebrand): Nuvio Linux — full disassociation from upstream + XDG desktop integration @JJDizz1L
• f3deee1 feat(packaging): add Fedora RPM, AppImage, and Flatpak distributions @JJDizz1L
• 9e00b22 refactor(settings): purge dead Android/iOS/Windows settings and UI @JJDizz1L
• 137a0fe refactor(player): Linux-only playback pipeline, drop AWT/Swing path @JJDizz1L

Also includes the Linux-only de-platforming groundwork (removing Android/iOS/
macOS/Windows source and packaging, Linux-only CI) and package version
normalization.

Artifacts

• nuvio-linux-0.1.15alpha-1.x86_64.rpm (Fedora/RHEL)
• nuvio-linux_0.1.15-alpha_amd64.deb (Debian/Ubuntu)
• nuvio-linux-0.1.15alpha-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst (Arch)
• nuvio-linux-0.1.15-alpha-x86_64.AppImage
• nuvio-linux-0.1.15-alpha.flatpak
• SHA256SUMS.txt

All packages require system mpv at runtime except the Flatpak, which bundles
libmpv built from source.

NuvioLinux 0.1.15.1

Generic x86-64 (baseline) build.

The previous release bundled the local CachyOS JDK, which is compiled for x86-64-v3/v4 (AVX2/AVX-512) and would not run on older CPUs. This release was built with a baseline x86-64 JDK (Eclipse Temurin 21.0.12) — verified zero AVX-512/AVX2 instructions in the bundled JVM and native libs.

Package: nuvio-linux-0.1.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

NuvioLinux 0.1.15-alpha

NuvioLinux — first hard-fork release

This is the first release of the NuvioLinux hard fork, diverged from
NuvioMedia/NuvioDesktop (feat/hwaccel-libmpv-linux). It focuses exclusively
on Linux development; macOS/Windows code paths are slated for removal.

What's in this release

Native Linux playback via MPV (libmpv)

Replaces the old embedded player with a C++/JNI bridge that embeds mpv through
its render API, drawing video directly into the Compose scene so all overlay UI
works on X11 and Wayland. The app runs under XWayland; the embedded player is
display-agnostic (offscreen EGL) and works on both backends.

• Dedicated offscreen EGL context + FBO + glReadPixels, with a software-renderer fallback
• Per-player render thread owns the GL context; all other mpv access is confined to the event thread (observe-driven caches + command queue)
• Fixes mpv 0.41 ABI mismatches (reply_userdata, shifted MPV_FORMAT_* enum, event IDs)
• Frame pump reuses a fixed pool of skia bitmaps instead of allocating per frame

Hardware acceleration

Zero-copy decode via VA-API (Mesa/AMD/Intel) and NVDEC (NVIDIA), chosen
automatically by the app's decoder setting, with a software fallback. Verified:
hwdec-current=vaapi, decoded surfaces land in VRAM.

HDR support

The embedded player loads your mpv.conf wholesale, so HDR/color configuration —
tone-mapping, target-peak, inverse-tone-mapping, profiles — applies as-is.

Configurable streaming cache

New Streaming Cache Size setting (64 MB–2 GB) plus a Cache to Disk
toggle under Playback settings, wired through the JNI into
demuxer-max-bytes/demuxer-max-back-bytes. Android reads the same setting;
the cache stays bounded by demuxer-max-bytes.

Discord Rich Presence

Show what you're watching or browsing on your Discord profile. Configurable under
Settings → Integrations → Discord Rich Presence, with reconnect handling so a
dead IPC socket (Discord restart / another client) self-heals automatically.

Arch Linux distribution

First-class Arch packaging: dist/arch/PKGBUILD builds a self-contained
nuvio-linux package (bundled JRE, no system Java required) with a launcher
(/usr/bin/nuvio-linux), a desktop entry, and nuvio:///stremio:// URI handlers.

git clone https://github.com/JJDizz1L/NuvioLinux.git
cd NuvioLinux/dist/arch
makepkg -si
