Some feedback:

1. Please resolve conflicts
2. You seem to have added a native dbus library. Do we really need this? If yes, make sure that it is correctly bundled into the binary when packaging, not just when running dynamically from source. Also make sure this won't cause issues when running on non-linux, and make sure arm64 is correctly supported

@vernal lintel native dbus lib is needed for fetching the accent colour on linux

also the current impl causes sockets to be opened and never closed

so thats a 💀

ooo what about the colour coming from --brand

system, theme, default, manual

system option won't be on Linux until I get around to this

can we rewrite vesktop in qtwebview

i think it's best to just always update to latest and ig we can add a switch to disable vesktop autoupdates so people can downgrade

[humble mortar]

there isn't an autoupdater disable thing yet??

[vernal lintel]

nah

never report issues to electron unless you want stale bot jumpscare in ur emails once a month

should we use tabs instead of categories with headers? like voice and video does

[humble mortar]

oh yeah I've wanted to do that for a while especially with the tray and splash PRs

[vernal lintel]

well those are bad anyway in terms of the ui lol

we should have a dedicated page / popout for changing icons

[humble mortar]

also wanted to have custom components to preview the splash and tray

[vernal lintel]

thats why i said in that pr they should remove the customisation options

[humble mortar]

yehag

[vernal lintel]

i want one central ui for all customisation

it will preview the current one and have a change button

with ipc that opens file picker and copies the selected image to vesktop settings folder

and probably use custom protocol

Thank you for response!

You seem to have added a native dbus library. Do we really need this?

I'm using it for getting accent color from Linux system. The library was added because it may be used for some other features, like #686.
Personally, I think that feature "automatically pick accent color and propose it to user" is not very critical, because user can just pick color by himself, so I will remove library and accent color feature from this PR scope.

I do plan to have one central UI for managing various images but that should be part of a separate change

Is this planned soon? If its like a year away couldn't this gui be allowed to exist until then? It would be a shame to have these features ready to go but then get removed until really far into the future.

AFAIK different macos versions have different ways to capture audio. Older versions need a system extension while newer versions have a built in API. Electron supports macos big sur and up. What is your plan for implementing this?

Random-Scientist

[Vencord/Vesktop] New comment on issue #1091: [Bug] No option to enable screenshare audio on Mac

A very simple first step towards this would be supporting using a user-defined input device as the source for stream audio, similar to what native discord already supports for capture devices.
This plus outputting an application's audio to an external loopback device like BlackHole or RogueAmoeba's Loopback (non foss unfortunately) is enough to get stream audio if people really need it.

The most cross-compatible way to implement this within venmic/vesktop for macOS versions without [`AudioHa...

Content

I am a user who enjoys using auto scroll. Unfortunately, whenever I try to use it, text that was previously highlighted gets pasted into the input field which is very annoying. VSCode has a config option do disable middle click pasting and it would be awesome if something similar could be implemented.
A simple flag similar to enabling auto scroll would be a nice addition:

why is vesktop even building anything

it should download the tarball build and use the prebuilt binaries

only vesktop-git should build

[humble mortar]

not how aur works

[humble mortar]

vesktop-bin would do that but I've been too lazy with package takeovering it

[vernal lintel]

the way the AUR works there shouldn't even be a vesktop package so what

[humble mortar]

? no

[vernal lintel]

make the vesktop one use prebuild

people should not be building from source by default thats retarded

[humble mortar]

that's not how aur conventions work 😭😭

only closed source software name package is a binary

[bright rivet]

That does mean that u dont know how AUR works

[humble mortar]

that's why a bunch of people use the -bin

[vernal lintel]

it doesn't say that anywhere

the convention is that -bin = bin and -git = source

besides that there is no fixed convention

[humble mortar]

I'll literally shoot you in the head

[bright rivet]

lmao

[vernal lintel]

send the link to where it says that in the wiki

you cant

it's just stupid to build on the user's pc

[bright rivet]

Because there's no need to link it? Because that's how the main repo works?

[vernal lintel]

downloading 500mb of junk and running memory / cpu intensive work

[bright rivet]

Just special cases as -git and -bin need to be documented

[humble mortar]

and thats why people use -bin

[vernal lintel]

there is not a single thing in the official arch repos that you build from source what are you talking about

[bright rivet]

You know nothing about Arch and AUR in general

I got it

[humble mortar]

thats because the package isnt the PKGBUILD like on the AUR

[vernal lintel]

i think i know way more than you but whatever makes you sleep at night

[humble mortar]

the AUR is a repository of package build scripts which then run on the system

[vernal lintel]

^

send a link to where it says anything remotely to what you're claiming

[bright rivet]

That's why there's no link

[humble mortar]

vee stop rage baiting 😭

[bright rivet]

Don't act like you're stupid

:p

[humble mortar]

the AUR and archlinux package repos are different

[vernal lintel]

anyway it doesn't matter, users should not build from source

[bright rivet]

Why

If I want to do it, I should be able

[humble mortar]

fine I'll takeover -bin

give me a few days

@vernal lintel ur so toxic

[vernal lintel]

okay so people should just be using -bin

[humble mortar]

if you dont want people building then yeah ig

[bright rivet]

People should use whatever they want

[humble mortar]

where the hell is this

[sudden trout]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines

[vernal lintel]

dumb rule

non suffix packages should just not exist

[humble mortar]

why is Firefox mobile not highlighting that in page search 😭😭

[bright rivet]

"i kNoW mOre ThAn YoU"

:p

[vernal lintel]

you don't have to be a cunt you know

[humble mortar]

its an artifact of what the AUR is

[vernal lintel]

arch is inherently not a source repo

[humble mortar]

the AUR hosts build scripts not built packages

[vernal lintel]

why would you build from source

[bright rivet]

That's how you was acting before

[vernal lintel]

if you wanna build from source youd just use gentoo or some shit like that

[bright rivet]

Because I want to do it

[humble mortar]

well thats what the AUR is

[bright rivet]

And I should be able to do it

[humble mortar]

its not a package repository

its a build script repository

[sudden trout]

chaotic aur exists for a reason

[bright rivet]

Again, he doesn't have idea what is talking about so lets move on

[humble mortar]

😭

[bright rivet]

@sudden trout I'm one of the Chaotic AUR maintainers 😄

[vernal lintel]

why are we even having this clown as maintainer

[humble mortar]

💀💀💀

[bright rivet]

Imagine having someone who doesn't know anything as maintainer

That why I'm one

[humble mortar]

cause he maintained it before zoot and I were added

[bright rivet]

To stop stupid attempts to put binaries on non -bin packages, for example

[vernal lintel]

I was wrong but that's no reason to be as much of a [cunt](#🖥-vesktop-development message) as you're being and act like you're better than other people

I don't think I want you as maintainer if you can't have basic respect

[bright rivet]

Guess who started this saying that we all were wrong and you were right

[humble mortar]

just let it go 😭

[bright rivet]

Well, he's calling me a "cunt" for literally writing a fact

But yeah

gtg, good day!

[vernal lintel]

okay whatever im gonna kick this guy

just remove him from the package 👍

[humble mortar]

vee thats not how that works

[marsh hinge]

Make me the maintainer (I don't know how this works)

[humble mortar]

he has like top maintainer privileges since he was the original maintainer

[humble mortar]

he has to package abandon for other maintainers to get this sorta perms

[vernal lintel]

-bin it is

dude this fake nookies is so insane

[humble mortar]

can you stop being insane

[vernal lintel]

he scares me

[humble mortar]

he was an ass you were an ass

[vernal lintel]

i mean yeah i was an ass back i shouldnt have

why does the -bin package have 0 comments

can you delete comments does the guy just delete everything

[humble mortar]

it has comments?

[vernal lintel]

whaaaa

do u have to login

omg

this is vencord-bin

no one does that

and if they do they dont need the doc :P

download the snapshot then makepkg -si manually

its useful ¯_(ツ)_/¯

some people are insane

should we suggest aur helpers in the instructions

just yay and paru

and link to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers

[humble mortar]

ehh

probably yes

[vernal lintel]

oh we should also add a SteamOS section

any steamos gamers who can write that

[humble mortar]

is that not just flatpak

[vernal lintel]

yeah but it would be better to have a dedicated section

and iirc they have to add it to steam

[woeful current]

ask aa gamer or something

[vernal lintel]

idk how steamos works

[humble mortar]

oh true

[vernal lintel]

we can't expect steamos gamers to know what a flatpak is

[humble mortar]

i forgot this is a wiki with install steps not just a package list

[late ridge]

uhh i have a steam deck

[vernal lintel]

how to run vesktop on steamos

install from Discover and then launch it through steam right?

[late ridge]

yeah, and if you're in desktop mode you can just launch it like a normal application
in order to launch it from steam/gaming mode you're gonna have to add it first

in steam you just go to the add a game button, and then add a non-steam game
search for vesktop and it should show up

[vernal lintel]

i'll just put this

[late ridge]

and if you want custom cover art then you can use steamgriddb for that, there's a few for vesktop
completely optional though ofc

[floral ledge]

what did i miss 😭 bug with the AUR build and then argument with the maintainer

[dark quarry]

I'm so happy that vesktop is in the cachyos repo and gets quickly updated there

[pseudo magnet]

i build from source and only update when it breaks

i still have merge conflicts

[brazen kite]

the MR was marked as ready for review, so I think it's just waiting for a maintainer to check it out

on my linux machine, I've just been using a version of vesktop built off of venbind. otherwise, discord is practically unusable for me on linux

I could try to tackle macOS support? I'm just not sure how I'd set up the environment yet

Can we take over or something?

[vernal lintel]

i think zt is talking about the nodejs change

[worn harness]

true

I think we should take over

hand over to cookie or me

[humble mortar]

zeet its literally a good choice

it needs to use LTS node as mainline has a bug with pnpm

its not a wildly insane choice

[worn harness]

it literally conflicts with nodejs installed

[humble mortar]

it'll be reverted when node gets tagged

[humble mortar]

well yeah 😭

youre using paru anyway it'll automatically handle the conflict for you

nope!

you dont have the issue if the deps are already cached on your system

yes it does

[Vencord/Vesktop] Issue opened: #1168 AV1 Decode not working

Content

When watching a friend's stream using Vencord, the AV1 codec was successfully used for decoding.
However, when watching the same stream with Vesktop, the stream falls back to H.264 instead.

This suggests that AV1 decoding support works correctly in Vencord, but does not seem to be enabled or preferred in Vesktop. ( I think it doesn't work )

When I stream myself, only H.264 is used on both Vencord and Vesktop.

[Vencord/Vesktop] Pull request opened: #1169 fix: re-add tray icon to macOS

I just noticed that when I open Vesktop on macOS, it has no tray icon. This was removed in #68 due to its super big size on the menu bar.

This PR fixed it by resizing the icon first instead of passing the icon directly to the tray constructor

Vendicated

[Vencord/Vesktop] New comment on pull request #1169: fix: re-add tray icon to macOS

should just apply this fix to all platforms

i need ur expertise @loud finch

[loud finch]

@vernal lintel vesktop has options under the menu bar, it being in the tray isn’t needed but only serves as some novelty

[vernal lintel]

comment on the pr

should probably just make the tray option default to false on mac but still make it available

[loud finch]

being in the trey should be reserved for apps that run as an agent, no normal app does this, but discord does this when you're in a vc to show when you're muted/unmuted

which is a good use, tbf

[Vencord/Vesktop] New comment on pull request #1169: fix: re-add tray icon to macOS

The way Discord does it is that they only show their own trey icon when you're in a voice chat, to indicate that you're either unmuted/muted/or deafened along with quick actions regarding this. At least to me this would serve as an actual purpose of having a trey icon, instead of common quick actions you would find in the menubar. Though, I'm not really imposed on having different options for users.

@humble mortar so what would be the new official vesktop package ykyk

bin?

[vernal lintel]

I'm really tired of this Eduard guy so we should make our own packages and tell users not to use his

optimally git and bin

And I would much prefer having full control (ownership) so we don't have trouble anymore

[humble mortar]

bin is someone else I never bothered to contact them

[woeful current]

soon real-vesktop-official-v3ndicated-with-liquid-glass

[vernal lintel]

You should ask xiota to transfer ownership to you or me if you can

he can still be collaborator etc, I just wanna be safe going forward

And I'm gonna try emailing the bin guy tomorrow

[humble mortar]

vesktop action should just publish a .pacman with the right metadata and I assume the -bin person will move to it

[vernal lintel]

it's really stupid that the aur works this way tbh

you should be able to take over packages for your own app

like bruh wdym some random dude owns the package and can do whatever they want without the maintainers having any say

anyway I'm going to sleep

[woeful current]

no sleep for you sorry you have to close prs all night

[vernal lintel]

if the bin guy doesn't respond we should make our own new bin package

[worn harness]

yop

[worn harness]

guhh users will be so confused

vesktop-bin-real

hack into the aur @vernal lintel

[humble mortar]

not allowed afaik no dupe packages that provide the same software

[humble mortar]

you could maybe email the aur admins and explain the situation idk

tbh its kinda stupid vesktop can't be an official package

[worn harness]

i tried finding aur admins or some way to contact but idk

why is it so hidden

[humble mortar]

zoot you should not be allowed to email anymore

I'm gonna be honest this whole situation is really dumb

he was cooperating no issue

there was a spat and you all blew it out of proportion

[worn harness]

true but

if hes gonna act like that, hes unfit to be maintainer regardless

maybe if it was his own project id get it, but its not his project, he has to understand that vesktop packagers should be able to maintain their own packages

[carmine drum]

so what the only package we actually have power over right now is the -git package and even then we are only co-maintainer

[woeful current]

salad

[grizzled hemlock]

Vesktop should just drop arch and only maintain a nixpkg

[woeful current]

@grizzled hemlock kys

@grizzled hemlock actually you should takeover the nixpkg an make it install the vesktop fatpak

[grizzled hemlock]

Did you know nyx can build to, deb, rpm, and app image so you can run it anywhere?

[woeful current]

interesting

so if i develop my software on canceros i can run it everywwre

[grizzled hemlock]

It also supports self-extracting bash scripts.

[woeful current]

what does that mean

[pseudo magnet]

it's a shell script which has a tarball embedded in it so you just run it and it copies itself onto ur system

[woeful current]

so useless

[grizzled hemlock]

AppImage but pure bash Script

[woeful current]

just use appimages

[pseudo magnet]

not appimage because it pollutes ur system

[woeful current]

we should discontinue all packaging systems except AppImage

[grizzled hemlock]

App images can be a pain to use sometimes

[woeful current]

true

[vernal lintel]

AppImage sucks 😭

[grizzled hemlock]

Ehhhhh it's okay

[sudden trout]

nop it's ass

[grizzled hemlock]

Self-extracting bash scripts are more universal and more portable, however they are a lot slower.

[grizzled hemlock]

*to startup

[woeful current]

could be better true

if there was a ~/Apps folder kinda like macOS

[vernal lintel]

insane

thats not the problem

[carmine drum]

i really don't get why we non prefixed packages can't use binaries tho

to me it is kinda stupid but i don't make the AUR rules

[worn harness]

I hate app images

[woeful current]

rename vesktop to vektop or something then make a proprietary fork of vektop named vesktop and you can have binaries

Electron only respects Wayland middle click drivers if the flag --ozone-platform=wayland is set, otherwise it runs under XWayland and gives fuck all about what Wayland has to say.

To those still affected; make sure you run pipwire as the default audio server, not pulseaudio:

pactl info | grep "Server Name"

should give you something similar to:

Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.48)

It is overall safe and easy to switch from pulse to pipewire on latest Linux Mint, just lookup a guide.

Hi @benjamin051000, Vesktop is much more lightweight and faster than the official Discord desktop app because the official Discord desktop app is a heavy abstraction on top of the Discord web app. Vesktop on the other hand keeps those abstractions to a minimum resulting in a more lightweight and faster app. Additionally you also have the ability to opt-in to installing OpenASAR with Vesktop which nets you even more performance benefits.

vencord won’t add a potentially bannable plugin, this won’t be “revisited”

Hey, so i switched to vesktop, im running Arch Linux with Hyprland wm (on wayland ofc) well everything is really good, except one thing.

Ohh and also, normal discord screen share works fine, streaming on 1440@60 on native wayland (discord not running via xwayland)

[Vencord/Vesktop] New comment on issue #1004: [Bug] Hardware encoding not working properly linux

Can I use hardware acceleration when screen sharing? I use Cinnamon on Void Linux and X11. No dedicated hardware here, only integrated hardware; The device is Thinkpad T480 i5-8th gen. Thank you

i dont think its the right place to ask such a thing, and even if it was, i don't thinkk you'll find an answer here anyway.

[woeful current]

if you report yourself as desktop you’re supported to act like a desktop client

[austere wolf]

huh alright, i could see differences in how mobile interacts with the apis but i feel like there wouldn't be too many differences between desktop and web

[woeful current]

trueee

but it could get you flagged ykyk

there’s a risk

[vernal lintel]

there's probably no ban risk but it's just useless and unnecessary

Also has the potential to break things like voice chat

Happens to me. Arch Linux, running from source. NoDevtoolsWarning didn't help

make sure you are on the latest vesktop version. if you are and it still happens, then it has nothing to do with vesktop and there's a good chance it's discord forcefully logging you out because you're tripping antispam. please use our support channel if you need further help

i was, in fact, not running updated vesktop. pulled, restarted vesktop, then slept and woke my computer (which would normall cause it) and it didn't happen. if i don't respond to this thread again it's probably because it didn't work

And what about Windows?
I've made a .symlink for a theme that I have no another disk. It correctly detects the commented data

But the theme itself is not applied.

[Vencord/Vesktop] Issue opened: #1176 [Feature Request] Add new icon format for macOS Tahoe

Content

macOS Taohe introduced a new icon format for applications.

It would be nice to have the modern icons because the current icon does not look nice with the new icons.

[woeful current]

just don't use transparent icons

even Apple apps don't support

[humble mortar]

day 5 billion of new icon pr going no where

i dont careee

[vernal lintel]

wdym going nowhere 😭

I already told you the icon should be more neutral

don't u remember

[humble mortar]

no I know

I'm not bothered to follow up on it

[woeful current]

vee homophobic

cancelled

or just leave it as is vesktop is already abandonware

[vernal lintel]

don't be annoying please

[vernal lintel]

I thought you were okay with it?

I'm confused

[humble mortar]

i mean I dont have the motivation to follow up on it
I was just yapping cause the issue was about icons

[vernal lintel]

oh okay

i think i misread

it seemed like you were unhappy about smth

is this a good default splash image

idk what to use

we should stop using shiggy cause we never had the permission to

[vernal lintel]

idek the licence of this either and can't find it anywhere but I assume it's probably libre since it's tux

[humble mortar]

could it not be replaced with a vennie art

comm sho with your copious github sponsor riches

[vernal lintel]

well i think the default should be more neutral

we could provide multiple default splashes with one of them being vennie tho thats not a bad idea

im working on asset customisation now, that's why i thought of changing the default splash

[humble mortar]

brand identity vs the amalgamous entity of please everyone

[vernal lintel]

I asked chatgpt if it would be okay to link to discord's splash images but it said it's problematic legally

but it's kinda difficult to get the default discord splash, you have to extract it from the desktop app

[humble mortar]

is there not an endpoint you can hit

[vernal lintel]

i dont think so

they're inside their app.asar

[humble mortar]

get the url for the webapp startup animation

[vernal lintel]

yeah ig

[vernal lintel]

anyway this ^

[humble mortar]

why would it ve

its no different than when it gets downloaded to the in app electron cache

vesktop isnt distributing the asset

ai slop

me when I ask AI to reason (it can't)

https://community.kde.org/File:Kde_dragons.png look at how awesome these are

evil no embed

[vernal lintel]

basically something like this

[vernal lintel]

it's pretty good with stuff like this cause it has so much data

much better than any of us anyway

if anything we could include it in the wiki but not the main app

[humble mortar]

ask it its reason

[vernal lintel]

honestly I would just rather be safe than sorry

[vernal lintel]

too much texto

[humble mortar]

its available via the api

they are distributing it
