The metainfo.xml had a fake full hash (cff32e5d47f3b44568af9...) that
returned 404 on raw.githubusercontent.com. Replace with the real commit
hash (cff32e5da7) where screenshots exist.
- Add flac; keyword to all .desktop files (was only in deb template)
- Add StartupNotify=true to flatpak .desktop files (was missing)
- Add Keywords line to snap .desktop (was missing entirely)
- Unify shortDescription to match other .desktop Comment fields
cc
- Auto-detect installed .desktop filename (com.blitzfc.qbz.desktop,
qbz.desktop, qbz-nix.desktop) instead of hardcoding
- Run update-desktop-database after register/deregister so xdg-open
and browsers pick up the MIME association immediately
- Fix v2_check_qobuzapp_handler to match all known desktop filenames
- Align StartupWMClass to com.blitzfc.qbz across all packaging formats
- Add StartupNotify=true to Arch/AUR/Snap desktop files
Fixes browser URI handler not working for .deb users (Discussion #44)
Add [[bin]] section to Cargo.toml so cargo produces target/release/qbz
directly. Update all packaging references (workflows, PKGBUILD, Flatpak
manifest, AUR desktop file) to use the new binary name. This fixes DEB
and RPM packages installing the binary as /usr/bin/qbz-nix instead of
/usr/bin/qbz.
Change dbus_name from "qbz" to "com.blitzfc.qbz" so the MPRIS name
matches the appid pattern. This eliminates the need for the explicit
--own-name permission as Flatpak allows apps to own names under their
appid namespace automatically.
cc
- Add check_alsa_utils_installed and get_linux_distro Tauri commands
- Detect Linux distribution from /etc/os-release
- Show appropriate package manager command for each distro
- Add (?) help icon next to ALSA Direct device dropdown in Settings
- Modal explains why alsa-utils is needed for bit-perfect detection
- Updated PKGBUILDs to list alsa-utils as optdepend
Flatpak uses the <releases> section in metainfo.xml to display the
application version. Added a placeholder release entry and updated
the workflow to inject the actual version and date during build.
- Update PKGBUILD to support both x86_64 and aarch64 architectures
- Use architecture-specific sources and checksums
- Update AUR workflow to download and checksum both tarballs
- Add smart wait logic for both release assets (max 10 minutes)
- Homologize workflow naming for consistency
- Package function now detects architecture and uses correct tarball
AUR users on ARM64 devices (Raspberry Pi, etc.) can now install qbz-bin.
- Add Comment field to all .desktop files for app launcher descriptions
- Change category from Music to AudioVideo for better categorization
- Add Keywords for improved searchability (audiophile, hifi, streaming)
- Enhance metainfo.xml with detailed feature list and links
- Configure AppImage bundle settings in tauri.conf.json
- Update workflows to generate improved .desktop files
AppImage now includes embedded icon via Tauri icon configuration.
App will now appear in Multimedia category with proper description in all Linux app launchers.
Two critical fixes for Flatpak sandbox environment:
1. PipeWire detection now uses pactl instead of pw-cli
- pw-cli is not available in GNOME Flatpak runtime
- pactl works for both PipeWire and PulseAudio (compatibility layer)
- Fixes missing PipeWire backend in Settings
2. App ID migration now works in Flatpak sandboxes
- Detects Flatpak environment and uses absolute paths
- Accesses old sandbox (com.blitzkriegfc.qbz) via HOME directory
- Added read-only permission to old App ID in manifest
- Properly migrates config/data/cache from old to new sandbox
Changes:
- Renamed Flatpak manifest, desktop file, and AppStream metainfo
- Updated App ID in all metadata files
- Fixed MPRIS name: qbz_nix → qbz
- Added NAS support permissions: /mnt, /media, /run/media
- Updated CI workflow to use new filenames
- Updated tauri.conf.json bundle identifier
BREAKING CHANGE: Users will need to migrate data from old App ID directories
Data migration will be implemented in next commit
AUR (Arch Linux):
- Added to optdepends: 'alsa-utils: Better ALSA device names and descriptions'
- Users get notification to install, but not required
Flatpak:
- Included alsa-utils module in bundle (builds from source)
- Version 1.2.12 from alsa-project.org
- Sandboxed environment can now execute aplay -L internally
- Disabled alsamixer and xmlto (not needed, reduces size)
- Users get real device descriptions automatically
Snap (future - not yet implemented):
- Created snapcraft.yaml template
- stage-packages includes alsa-utils
- Will be bundled when Snap support is implemented
AppImage (future - not yet implemented):
- Created README.md documenting dependencies
- AppImage uses host system commands (aplay from host)
- Users need to install alsa-utils on their system
- Fallback to CPAL works if not installed
Summary by format:
- .deb/.rpm: Recommends alsa-utils (auto-installed, can be removed)
- AUR: optdepends (user notified, optional)
- Flatpak: Bundled (always available)
- Snap: Will be bundled (future)
- AppImage: Host dependency (user installs)
Add URI scheme handler registration for OAuth flow implementation:
- Register x-scheme-handler/qbz in .desktop files
- Add %u parameter to Exec for URL handling
- Add OpenURI portal permission in Flatpak manifest
This enables OAuth PKCE flows for Spotify and other providers
to redirect back to the application after browser authentication.
