feat(desktop): replace vlcj with kdroidFilter ComposeMediaPlayer + JCodec/FFmpeg
...
Drops uk.co.caprica:vlcj 4.8.3 (GPL-3.0) from desktopApp and replaces it
with an MIT-dominant stack:
- Video / audio playback: io.github.kdroidfilter:composemediaplayer:0.10.0
(MIT) — OS-native backends (Media Foundation on Windows, AVFoundation on
macOS, GStreamer on Linux). First-class Compose VideoPlayerSurface.
- Thumbnail extraction: org.jcodec:jcodec(+javase):0.2.5 (BSD-2) primary
H.264 path, raw ProcessBuilder FFmpeg fallback for HEVC / VP9 / AV1 /
HLS / non-faststart MP4.
- Binary SPDX: MIT AND LGPL-2.1-or-later AND BSD-2-Clause AND Apache-2.0.
rpmLicenseType updated accordingly (previously misdeclared as MIT
while shipping GPLv3 vlcj).
Code changes:
- Deleted: VlcjPlayerPool, MacOsVlcDiscoverer, BundledVlcDiscoverer,
VlcResourceResolver
- Rewrote: GlobalMediaPlayer (kdroidFilter engine + snapshotFlow-based
state sync into the preserved MediaPlaybackState contract);
VideoThumbnailCache (JCodec → ProcessBuilder ffmpeg cascade, with a
hard 4 MiB download cap, Content-Type sniff to reject HTML error
pages, and cleanup of zero-byte cache entries); DesktopVideoPlayer
(mounts VideoPlayerSurface for the active URL, codec/network error
UX with "Open in default player" fallback)
- Updated: NowPlayingBar + GlobalFullscreenOverlay to render
VideoPlayerSurface directly (drops the videoFrame ImageBitmap relay)
- Main.kt: drops vlcj pre-init / shutdown calls (kdroidFilter lazy-loads
natives + registers its own shutdown hook on Windows)
Build / packaging:
- Removes ir.mahozad.vlc-setup plugin + vlcSetup{} block + the per-OS
bundled VLC tree + the -Dvlc.plugin.path JVM arg
- Adds NOTICE.md + per-component LICENSE-*.txt under appResources/common
(LGPL-2.1 license text is a placeholder — replace with verbatim FSF
text before release)
- Adds per-OS LGPL FFmpeg drop-in directories with README pointing at
the recommended LGPL binary source (osxexperts.net / Crigges Windows
LGPL build)
- Adds Flathub manifest skeleton (Gitnuro-style: org.freedesktop.Platform
24.08 + openjdk21 extension + org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full
add-extension for patent codecs)
- AppRun: drops VLC LD_LIBRARY_PATH / VLC_PLUGIN_PATH env wiring
Verified on macOS arm64:
- ./gradlew :desktopApp:compileKotlin BUILD SUCCESSFUL
- ./gradlew :desktopApp:test BUILD SUCCESSFUL
- ./gradlew :desktopApp:spotlessApply clean
- Smoke launch: no VLC/vlcj/libvlc log lines, kdroidFilter native
library extracts to ~/.cache/composemediaplayer/native/, thumbnail
cache populates at ~/.cache/amethyst-desktop/video-thumbs/ with the
4 MiB cap enforced
- H.264 MP4 playback (active + thumbnail extraction) confirmed
- VP9-in-WebM playback fails on macOS as AVFoundation cannot decode it —
expected codec gap; surfaced via PlaybackErrorMessage + "Open in
default player" handoff in DesktopVideoPlayer

refactor: move packaging/appimage into desktopApp module
...
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.
