flatpak package

[Timothée Crozat]

this project looks great

I am documenting pipewire on a big french-speaking community around ubuntu : https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/pipewire

Unfortunately as it is I can't speak about PipeControl because I guess users would have to compile it to use it (and I use debian btw).

I guess the best solution would be to have it on flathub, then anyone could install and use it very easily on any linux distro.

so, I've attempted to make a flatpak but the pipewire monitor API is unavailable in the flatpak runtime. Still not sure if to distribute a version with less features or wait for pipewire to expose those apis to flatpaks.

could you ask helvum and qpwgraph devs how they got around this cause boths are available as flatpaks?
also i just put a lot of requests in for helvum so maybe you could take inspiration?

[Matteo De Carlo]

both helvum and qpwgraph do not use the monitoring api, so it won't be of any help asking them. The rest of the app actually works ok.

oh well thats that then, again feel free to look into the genuine dozen or so issues i raised in helvums repository and take as much inspiration as you see fit, i think theres a lot of good ideas there

If you include PipeWire as a module in your Flatpak manifest you can use the profiler module/monitor API

thanks @dimtpap I'm going to try this
