StreamCut now lives side by side with Nuvio, updates itself, and has its own privacy policy.

⚠️ Windows: uninstall 0.3.1 first

The 0.3.1 installer shared its Windows Installer upgrade code with Nuvio Desktop, so installing
either app silently removed the other. 0.3.2 has its own code, which means Windows sees it as a
different product and will not replace 0.3.1. Uninstall StreamCut 0.3.1 from Settings → Apps
before installing 0.3.2. Your settings are kept. From 0.3.2 on, updates install over the top.

What changed

  • StreamCut keeps its own data. Settings, library and sign-in used to live in Nuvio's data
    folder, so with both apps installed they shared addons and a sign-in, and signing out of one
    wiped the other. StreamCut now uses its own folder (Application Support/StreamCut on Mac,
    %APPDATA%\StreamCut on Windows). On first launch it copies your settings over from the old
    folder and leaves that folder alone. Clips you already exported stay where they are and keep
    working.
  • In-app updates. StreamCut checks this repository for new releases and offers to download
    them. Earlier versions had updates switched off, so this is the last release you install by hand.
  • Privacy policy. Settings now links StreamCut's own
    privacy policy instead of Nuvio's.
  • Licenses page lists what the desktop app ships: StreamCut and Nuvio Desktop (GPL-3.0),
    mpv, FFmpeg (the GPL build bundled on Windows) and TorrServer.
  • About credits the Nuvio Desktop release StreamCut is based on (0.1.20-alpha) instead of
    StreamCut's own version number.

Installing

Windows: StreamCut-Windows-x64-0.3.2-alpha.msi. Not signed, so SmartScreen shows "Windows
protected your PC": click More info, then Run anyway. ffmpeg is included.

Mac (Apple Silicon): StreamCut-macOS-arm64-0.3.2-alpha.dmg. Ad-hoc signed and not notarized,
so macOS blocks the first launch. Press Open Anyway under System Settings → Privacy &
Security
, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/StreamCut.app. No Intel build.
CFBundleShortVersionString reads 1.3.2 because jpackage refuses a major version of 0.

Known rough edges

  • Alpha software. Stored data and file layout may still change between releases.
  • The Mac and Windows builds are tested on one machine each; please report what breaks.
  • The clipper labels (home, player, clip settings, the new license entries) are English only.
  • iOS and Android targets are unverified in this fork.
