Correctness fixes in GlobalMediaPlayer.kt
- snapshotFlow { hasMedia } collector for initial seek used `return@collect`
which only exits the lambda; the collector kept running and each
subsequent playVideo() call accumulated a live collector that would
re-fire a stale seekTo() on the wrong media. Replaced with `Flow.first`
which terminates the collection cleanly.
- playVideo()/playAudio() reset the public MediaPlaybackState to
volume=100/isMuted=false on a new URL, but the kdroidFilter player
retains its `volume` across openUri(); muting one track and starting a
new one left the engine silent while the UI showed unmuted. Reset
`player.volume = 1f` to match the public state.
- ensureVideoPlayer()/ensureAudioPlayer() called createVideoPlayerState()
synchronously from the Compose getter; if native init throws (missing
GStreamer on Linux, broken NativeLibraryLoader extraction) the whole
window would crash. Wrapped in runCatching and changed
activeVideoPlayerState to nullable. Consumers in DesktopVideoPlayer
and GlobalFullscreenOverlay handle the null path by rendering the
thumbnail / blank backdrop respectively; playVideo()/playAudio()
surface "Video playback unavailable" through the existing
errorReason -> PlaybackErrorMessage path.
Crash mitigation (kdroidFilter 0.10.0 UAF in MacVideoPlayerSurface)
- NowPlayingBar previously mounted a SECOND VideoPlayerSurface against
the same VideoPlayerState while the feed card was already mounting
one, doubling the draw rate against the shared frame bitmap and
widening the UAF window in MacVideoPlayerSurface's RasterFromBitmap
path. Mini-preview now renders the cached thumbnail (or the music
icon fallback). 0.10.1 contains an upstream fix
("recover video playback after composition removal") but is not yet
on Maven Central — single-surface mounting is the only mitigation
we can ship today.
VideoThumbnailCache.kt
- Truncated-download cache poisoning: when an origin ignored the
Range: header and returned HTTP 200 with the full body, we capped
the copy at MAX_THUMB_BYTES and persisted the truncated file
forever. Subsequent thumbnail attempts hit the broken cache file
and re-failed JCodec/ffmpeg every time. Tag download results with
whether the server actually returned 206; on 200, extract from the
temp file and delete it (no persistent cache hit).
- Tor bypass: replaced the bare OkHttpClient with
DesktopHttpClient.currentClient() so thumbnail fetches respect the
user's Tor preference (fail-closed when Tor is expected but
bootstrapping).
- ffmpeg version probe leaked the process on hang: now drains stdout
to DISCARD and calls destroyForcibly() on timeout.
- Frame-extract ffmpeg subprocess could deadlock on a chatty stderr
pipe: redirectError(DISCARD) so we never wait on stderr; a finally
block destroys the process if anything leaked through the timeout.
CI workflow cleanup
- Removed vlc-setup download cache + pre-fetch steps from
build.yml and smoke-test-desktop.yml. They were targeting an
ir.mahozad.vlc-setup plugin we no longer apply, so they wasted
~minutes of CI time per leg and tied the build to videolan.org
reachability for no reason.
- Trimmed create-release.yml's stale VLC-plugins justification on
the linuxdeploy-vs-appimagetool comment.
.gitignore + missing per-OS ffmpeg READMEs
- The pre-PR rules blanket-ignored desktopApp/src/jvmMain/appResources/{linux,macos,windows}/
so the LGPL FFmpeg drop-in slot READMEs created in 704f4f44e never
reached the commit. Refined the ignore rules to keep stale vlc/ workspace
trees out of git (still ignored) while explicitly tracking the
ffmpeg/README.md drop-in slot under each OS. The READMEs document the
recommended LGPL build source per OS for the bundled-FFmpeg packaging
path.

Refs PR #3175 review by @davotoula.
Zulu's CDN (cdn.azul.com) has been returning HTTP 520 for several
hours, breaking JDK 21 setup across multiple PRs (#3075, #3095) on
every Linux runner. actions/setup-java's internal retry budget isn't
enough to ride through it.
Temurin (Adoptium) publishes its JDKs as GitHub Releases assets, so
the download path uses GitHub's own CDN — completely independent
infrastructure. Java 21 is the same upstream OpenJDK build either way,
so Gradle, Compose Multiplatform, and jpackage behave identically.
Applied to all setup-java steps in build.yml, smoke-test-desktop.yml,
and create-release.yml.
linuxdeploy auto-walks every binary in the staged AppDir with ldd to
bundle their shared-library deps. That fights jpackage's self-contained
output on two axes and aborts the createReleaseAppImage task before any
AppImage is produced:
- The bundled JRE puts libjvm.so at usr/lib/runtime/lib/server/, while
its sibling libs (libmanagement.so, libawt_xawt.so, libfontmanager.so
and others in usr/lib/runtime/lib/) have RPATH=$ORIGIN. ldd cannot
resolve libjvm.so from those libs without help, so linuxdeploy errors:
ERROR: Could not find dependency: libjvm.so
ERROR: Failed to deploy dependencies for existing files
- The bundled libvlc plugins under usr/lib/app/resources/vlc/ are
UPX-compressed by the vlc-setup plugin. patchelf cannot read their
section headers, so linuxdeploy aborts:
ERROR: Call to patchelf failed:
patchelf: no section headers. The input file is probably a
statically linked, self-decompressing binary
- Even after working around libjvm.so via LD_LIBRARY_PATH, several VLC
libs have RUNPATH pointing at the wrong directory, so ldd fails on
libva.so.2 / libvlccore.so.9 next.
This is why v1.09.2 shipped .deb + .rpm from the linux leg but no
.AppImage and no linux .tar.gz from the linux-portable leg — the gradle
step failed on linuxdeploy, so the subsequent "Build portable archives"
step never ran.
Swap to appimagetool, which only embeds the AppDir as-is into a
SquashFS-backed, runtime-prepended AppImage and never touches the
contents. jpackage already bundles a complete, self-contained app —
we don't need linuxdeploy's dep-discovery. AppRun continues to handle
LD_LIBRARY_PATH at launch.
Verified locally on ubuntu-24.04: a fresh
:desktopApp:createReleaseAppImage now produces a valid 254 MB
Amethyst-1.09.2-x86_64.AppImage in ~30 s on top of an up-to-date
createReleaseDistributable.
Side changes:
- Workflow installs desktop-file-utils (appimagetool 1.9.0 calls
desktop-file-validate on the .desktop entry).
- BUILDING.md updated with the new local-dev fetch command.
- .gitignore replaces the linuxdeploy paths with appimagetool's.
GitHub's macos-13 runner image is being retired. Drop the x64 macOS
legs from both the desktop and CLI release matrices; macos-14 arm64
continues to ship the macOS builds.
The AppImage build inputs (AppRun, .desktop entry, icon, and the
CI-fetched linuxdeploy binary) are consumed only by desktopApp's
createReleaseAppImage task. Co-locating them under
desktopApp/packaging/appimage/ removes the `../` path escape from the
build script and keeps all desktop packaging assets inside the module.

jpackage runs `dpkg-shlibdeps` against the bundled JDK runtime's native
libs (libfontmanager.so etc. link libicu) and pins Depends to the build
host's libicu version. CI builds on ubuntu-24.04, so the .deb requires
libicu74 — uninstallable on Ubuntu 22.04 (libicu70), Debian 12 (libicu72),
Debian 11 (libicu67), and Debian 13 (libicu76). Neither jpackage nor the
Compose Multiplatform DSL exposes a way to override the auto-generated
Depends.
Add scripts/relax-deb-libicu.sh which extracts the .deb with `dpkg-deb -R`,
rewrites `libicuNN` (or any alternation thereof) to
`libicu66 | libicu67 | libicu70 | libicu72 | libicu74 | libicu76 | libicu77`,
and repacks. The script is idempotent and a no-op for .debs without a
libicu Depends.
Wire it into both release legs (desktopApp + amy CLI) in
create-release.yml, and into the desktop test/build leg in build.yml so
testers downloading the CI artifact hit the same fix.
Adds a new build-cli matrix to create-release.yml so every tag push also
produces self-contained amy binaries:
- amy-<ver>-macos-x64.tar.gz (macos-13 runner)
- amy-<ver>-macos-arm64.tar.gz (macos-14 runner)
- amy-<ver>-linux-x64.tar.gz (ubuntu-latest)
- amy-<ver>-linux-x64.deb (ubuntu-latest)
- amy-<ver>-linux-x64.rpm (ubuntu-latest)
Each tarball is a flat tree (bin/amy + lib/*.jar + runtime/) with a
jlink'd JDK 21 embedded — no system Java required on the user machine.
The .deb / .rpm install the same tree under /opt/amy/.
Windows is intentionally deferred until cli/ is validated on Windows
(data-dir path handling, file locking on groups/<gid>.mls, identity.json
line endings).
Two follow-ups flagged in comments:
- :commons leaks Compose + Skiko (~40 MB) as transitive deps to :cli.
Tarball lands at ~98 MB instead of the plan's <80 MB target. Size
budget in the workflow is set to 200 MB until :commons is split into
core + ui modules.
- .deb/.rpm install to /opt/amy/bin/amy with no /usr/local/bin symlink.
Users must add to PATH or symlink manually after install.
Wire-up:
- cli/build.gradle.kts gains jlinkRuntime + amyImage (Sync task that
combines installDist output with the jlink runtime + a shell
launcher) + jpackageDeb + jpackageRpm.
- scripts/asset-name.sh gains cli_asset_name() + collect_cli_assets()
alongside the existing desktop collector, preserving the
<product>-<version>-<family>-<arch>.<ext> naming contract.
See cli/plans/2026-04-21-cli-distribution.md for the overall plan.

P1 fixes (must-fix):
- AppRun: VLC path corrected to usr/lib/app/linux/vlc (jpackage actual
path), add VLC_PLUGIN_PATH env var for codec discovery
- linuxdeploy: use APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1 env var to bypass FUSE
on CI runners instead of fragile pre-extract + symlink approach
- Prerelease classifier: inverted to positive-match stable format
(^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$) across desktop, Android, and composite
action — eliminates regex drift between allowlists
- assert-stable-release: now accepts inputs (tag, is_prerelease,
is_draft) so workflow_dispatch on bump workflows also validates
P2 fixes (should-fix):
- .gitignore: add linuxdeploy-*.AppImage and extracted dirs
- RPM version: use replace("-", "~") instead of substringBefore("-")
for correct RPM prerelease ordering (1.08.0~rc1 < 1.08.0)
- linux-portable → linux alias moved into collect_assets() in
scripts/asset-name.sh (single source of truth)
- Android cache key: add gradle/libs.versions.toml to hashFiles
- r0adkll/sign-android-release: SHA-pinned to 349ebdef (v1)
P3 fixes (nice-to-have):
- LINUXDEPLOY_OUTPUT_VERSION env var replaced with
APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN (misleading comment + redundant var)
- nick-fields/retry timeout: 40m → 15m (surface real hangs)
- generate_release_notes: true only on Android job (avoid
last-writer-wins race across 6 concurrent uploaders)
- apt-get install rpm: tightened guard to matrix.family == 'linux'
(linux-portable leg doesn't need rpm tooling)
- Split build.yml into lint, test (matrix: 3 OS), build-android, and
build-desktop (matrix: 3 OS with native packaging) jobs
- Tests now run on ubuntu, macos, and windows to validate cross-platform
compatibility
- Desktop distributions (DEB, DMG, MSI) built on their native OS and
uploaded as artifacts
- Split create-release.yml into create-release, deploy-android, and
deploy-desktop jobs so desktop distributions are included in releases
- Android APK/AAB builds and Quartz publishing remain on Linux
