nuvio-linux 0.1.21alpha-1 tracks the official upstream NuvioDesktop 0.1.21-alpha release. It is built from that source unmodified — with only the Arch pkgrel added.
A change in direction for this repository
NuvioLinux began as a hard fork of NuvioDesktop, carrying Linux-specific playback work, a rebrand, and additional package formats. Upstream has since implemented proper libmpv and GTK3 integration natively, delivering smoother, fully hardware-accelerated playback that passed all of our testing. The fork and its divergent code are therefore no longer needed — the hard-fork era is over.
Arch Linux packages only, from now on
Effective immediately, NuvioLinux-unofficial publishes Arch Linux packages exclusively. AppImage, Flatpak, RPM and DEB builds will no longer be released from this repository — those formats are built and released by upstream, and we ask all users to switch to the official upstream packages:
- Upstream releases page: https://github.com/NuvioMedia/NuvioDesktop/releases/latest
- The matching 0.1.21-alpha release: https://github.com/NuvioMedia/NuvioDesktop/releases/tag/0.1.21-alpha
Upstream ships AppImage, Flatpak, DEB and RPM packages for Linux x86_64, plus DMG installers for macOS and MSI for Windows. This repository will keep building Arch Linux packages that track upstream releases until upstream adopts Arch packaging of its own — at that point this repository will retire.
What is in this package
- Built from the unmodified upstream 0.1.21-alpha source release
- Bundled Temurin 21 runtime — no system Java required
- Playback via the system libmpv (mpv dependency), with hardware-accelerated decoding through your usual VA-API/VDPAU setup
- P2P streaming included (bundled TorrServer)
- Installs to /opt/Nuvio; launcher at /usr/bin/nuvio
Upgrading from previous NuvioLinux releases
This package is signed with a new packaging key (9201A54A09675CBEBAD08647EDDA55C8236D6C88); trust it once using the commands below. The AUR packages nuvio-linux-bin (0.1.21alpha-1) and nuvio-linux-git (r2605.g785df9c3-1) have been updated accordingly and now build upstream source directly — a simple AUR upgrade moves you over.

Thank you
Thank you to everyone who used, tested, reported issues, and supported Nuvio Linux throughout the hard-fork period. Your feedback genuinely shaped this project, and it would not have reached this point without you. Nuvio on Linux is in a better place now — it simply lives directly upstream.
