Build From Source

Build From Source

Windows Stable

The Windows stable app remains the WPF release line. This Wiki does not change the Windows source path, build path, runtime bootstrap, tests, or release process.

Recommended build:

.\scripts\Build-FramePlayer.ps1

Direct build when the runtime is already staged:

.\scripts\Ensure-DevRuntime.ps1
.\scripts\Ensure-DevExportTools.ps1
.\scripts\Ensure-DevExportRuntime.ps1
dotnet build .\FramePlayer.csproj -c Release -p:Platform=x64

macOS Preview

Stage the pinned macOS FFmpeg runtime under Runtime/macos/osx-arm64/ffmpeg, then run:

dotnet build src/FramePlayer.Mac/FramePlayer.Mac.csproj -c Release
dotnet test tests/FramePlayer.Mac.Tests/FramePlayer.Mac.Tests.csproj -c Release --filter "Category!=ReleaseCandidate"
FRAMEPLAYER_MAC_CORPUS="Video Test Files" script/validate_macos_release_candidate.sh --corpus "Video Test Files"

Package a local signed release candidate:

script/package_macos_release.sh --sign
codesign --verify --deep --verbose=2 "dist/Frame Player.app"

Developer ID notarization is documented in docs/macos-preview-release.md.

Runtime Notes

FFmpeg playback and export runtimes are pinned. Runtime binaries are staged locally and are not committed unless a later release explicitly changes that policy.
