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)
