deadbeef-vgmstream is a DeaDBeeF decoder plugin which connects vgmstream to DeaDBeeF, adding support for hundreds of streaming video game and middleware audio formats.
A Nix flake is included, as well as a corresponding .envrc.
- Run a copy of Deadbeef with this plugin using
nix run. - When using Nix to build, the NixOS version of VgmStream is used and the submodule is ignored.
- When using
maketo build, the submodule version of VgmStream is used.
To develop using Nix, ensure you have Nix installed and direnv configured, then type direnv allow to allow the environment to be applied. From there, you can run make like normal, and nix run to test inside of Deadbeef.
Nix is not required to build. When not using Nix, you must ensure that mpg123, libvorbis, and FFmpeg are available via pkg-config, as these are requirements of VgmStream.
When building using make, you can point to another VgmStream source path by setting the VGMSTREAM_ROOT. This will override the submodule.
By default, the Makefile is configured to install the plugin to a DeaDBeeF installation at the prefix, /opt/deadbeef. If you are using the official DeaDBeeF packages for Debian or Ubuntu, this should be fine. Otherwise, you'll need to adjust DEADBEEF_ROOT depending on where the program is installed to. Mind you that plugins are not installed directly to DEADBEEF_ROOT but under the lib/deadbeef subdirectory.
