pkgutil --expand may yield the component as an already-expanded
directory rather than an archived file; handle both. List the expanded
contents in the error message if the layout is unexpected.
pkgutil --expand-full flattens the component payload to loose files that
--flatten cannot repack, producing a pkg Installer accepts but installs
nothing from (also breaking the postinstall auto-open). Use nested
regular --expand: product for the Distribution domains edit, component
for the postinstall sudo-prefix removal.
release.py no longer uploads the legacy RELEASES and assets.*.json
manifests — the in-app updater reads only releases.<channel>.json plus
the nupkg it references. The Windows feed nupkg gains its -win channel
marker (vpk omits it for the legacy default channel), so all platforms
are uniformly mediahive-{ver}-{channel}-full.nupkg. The -full suffix is
Velopack's asset type and stays.
Replace _platform_zip_suffix() and its overrides with a _Platform
NamedTuple (tag/rid/dist_dir/icon/main_exe/setup_ext) plus
setup_artifact_name(). create_zip() is Windows-only in practice, so it
is now create_portable_zip() with a fixed -win64-portable.zip name
instead of a generic name patched by string replace.
MediaHive-*-full.nupkg sorted between the capitalized Setup/AppImage
user downloads on the Gitea release page. Renamed to mediahive-* they
group with the wheel/sdist below the downloads; feed manifests
(RELEASES, releases.*.json, assets.*.json) are patched to match.
System installs land in /Applications where Velopack's UpdateMac may not
be able to replace the .app during auto-update. Restricting the
distribution domains to currentUserHome skips the Destination Select
page and needs no admin rights; the postinstall script's sudo prefixes
are dropped since it already runs as the installing user.
Collapsing <domains> to localSystem did not remove the Destination
Select page (Installer shows it regardless) and only removed the
~/Applications option. Restore Velopack's default of both domains.
appauthor=False/opinion=False avoids mediahive\mediahive\Cache style
paths on Windows. fetch_dotnet now probes all known dotnet locations and
selects the highest Microsoft.NETCore.App major, requiring the version
vpk's TFM targets (10) — PATH on the Windows CI runner resolves to a
runtime-only .NET 8 while scoop holds the SDK 10.
velopack/tracerite/fastapi-vue are always available in the GUI build, so
drop the in-function import guards. The update checker now catches only
RuntimeError (not a Velopack install: dev/portable) and OSError
(network). Build script and PyInstaller spec use platformdirs for the
persistent tool cache.
Per-build downloads of the dotnet runtime (~80 MB) were slow and flaky
(IncompleteRead killed a CI run). The .NET SDK is now a build-host
prerequisite; vpk and ffmpeg download once into a user-level cache
(~/.cache/mediahive-build, %LOCALAPPDATA%\mediahive-build) that
survives the per-run build dir.
Tells the user to allow the permission prompts macOS may show during
install and first launch. License page remains absent; Destination
Select was already stripped, leaving Introduction, Install, Summary.
Collapse the Velopack-generated distribution.xml to a single install
domain so macOS Installer skips Destination Select, leaving Apple's
minimum pages (Introduction, Install, Summary). Welcome/license/readme/
conclusion pages are already absent (no --inst* options passed).
- macOS: .pkg installer replaces the DMG; Linux: .AppImage replaces the ZIP
- winmain runs velopack.App() first (proper hook handling) and checks for
updates in the background; downloads are applied on next launch
- release.py uploads the vpk update feed (releases.<channel>.json, nupkgs)
so GiteaSource finds updates on the latest release
- guibuild.py bootstraps a .NET runtime into build/dotnet when the runner
host lacks one
Velopack runs the app with --veloapp-install/-updated/-uninstall during
those operations; without fast-exit handling the full GUI booted
mid-install (also clobbering config via the first-run setup flow) and
the installer reported hook errors. The post-install launch has no hook
args and still starts the app normally.
vpk runs on the machine's modern .NET runtime (WiX 3.11's .NET Framework
shim fails under the SYSTEM account) and produces a per-user Setup.exe
that needs no runtime on end-user machines.
Files extracted from a downloaded ZIP carry a Zone.Identifier stream and the
.NET Framework CLR refuses to load such assemblies, so pythonnet failed with
'Failed to resolve Python.Runtime.Loader.Initialize'. MSI-installed files have
no MOTW; the winmain strip fixes the ZIP distribution.
pywebview[qt] no longer depends on PyQtWebEngine, so fresh CI builds
produced a macOS app without its Chromium engine that crashed on launch.
Package MediaHive.app as a compressed DMG instead of zipping the raw
onedir folder; release.py accepts .dmg artifacts.
- scanner: replace serial DFS with 16-worker priority work-queue, one
scandir round trip per directory (DirEntry mtimes), per-subtree
exponential backoff (persisted in scan-state.json v2), leaf candidates
gated on max(dir, newest video file) mtime so growing downloads and
lazy NTFS dir mtimes are handled
- spec: collect_data_files('tracerite') so style.css/script.js ship
- guibuild: tolerate non-UTF-8 console when printing status glyphs
- ruff format pass on indexer.py/index_store.py (hook requirement)
