So you are asking for the client, not the server?

Edit: Not closing as a duplicate of T4493 since this is now available as open source.

Sorry but maybe I misunderstood. I though there was also the server part in the tarball.
Yes, would be wonderfull if in one package there is client and server, if it's possible.
In fact I asked again this software due to the change of license (closed source to open source) and the release of linux packages (for ubuntu/debian, fedora and archlinux) from the Stremio team.

Sorry, i don't want bother you but there are any news? Can you provide this package please?

If there is any news you will see it here.

Hi, I got stremio building on my solus 4 with some minor tweaks related to the code. The singleapplication.h library does not exist in solus and is kind of deprecated anyway, I just made it use QApplication.

I want to ask the devs, if they see this, if it is ok to try and package my modified version since the original does not build on solul (or even fedora 30 for that matter). If it's ok I can take care of making the .yaml file, submiting it and maintaining the package since stremio is something I want too in my solus pc

Hi it's me again, I got a working .yml file for stremio that builds and installs my version. It also pulls the server part into the installation directory and therefore into the .eopkg file.
I have just two issues:

1. When I install it, it's installed in the root dir (big no no)
2. There is no .desktop file exported or associated with my build

If anyone is interested in stremio, I could use some help. My modified version is here: https://github.com/realProngsDark/stremio-shell

Edit: the app works perfectly btw :)

They provide this header and other necessary files in a separate submodule, so you just need to get sources from the git tag rather than tarball (use git|https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-shell.git : 4.4.52 in the source section of package.yml).
After that you should be able to build Stremio without modifications (I know because I tried building it some time ago).

Hi, I tried this but I quite don't get it. I can't get the files at build time with

git submodule update

because of the chroot environment that blocks the connection to internet for trust reasons. Also their version wants to be installed in /opt/stremio which again gives me an error in chroot because I don't have permissions (normally this would be solved by typing sudo make install).

You don't need to update the submodules manually, ypkg already does this for you. IIRC, git submodules is one of the main reasons why getting sources directly from git repos was implemented in ypkg.
And yes, networking is disabled by default in build environment, however, you can enable it by adding networking: yes in package.yml if some build script absolutely requires that. But you don't need it here, it's just FYI.
And about defaulting to /opt - I remember that I had problems with that too. You should just patch the project file so it respects PREFIX variable and installs binaries in /usr/bin and apply this patch before building - ypkg has macros for that.

Thanks a lot for the help, I will try that. I didn't know that I can pull from git repos like that

Hi, I have made a .yml file that should download, compile and install stremio. It is not ready yet since the installation fails. I can't figure out how to patch the deployment.pri file in order to install stremio somewhere where I have write permissions. By default it tries installing in /opt. I would really appreciate any help regarding installation. From what I've seen the binary should go to /usr/bin and the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications, but I can't figure out how to gain permissions in chroot environment.

Here is my repo with what I have until now: https://github.com/Alexandru-Balan/Stremio-solus (it ain't much sadly)

Is there any update on whether this can be accepted for inclusion?

Stremio fills gaps that no other application in the repository fills, it has a huge user base, it is open source, and @Alexandru-Balan already got it working on Solus in D8103. Stremio's added value is massive, as it combines easy streaming from multiple sources (with addons) with a library, and I believe it would be a great addition to Solus' media software list.

I was frustrated that I had to install Manjaro instead of Solus on my second computer just because Stremio is not available on Solus, and (sadly), Stremio stopped releasing AppImage versions.

I'd be happy to maintain this package if that's what's holding it back? ?

Since the package is now accepted for inclusion, all you have to do is re-open D8103 if you want to get the ball rolling? =)

Source: #Solus-Dev @ freenode.net IRC:
17:01:50 +ermo | Just to make sure, if a package was accepted for inclusion and a maintainer previously added a diff which was subsequently abandoned because the package wasn't accepted then, can the maintainer un-abandon that diff?
17:03:33 @DataDrake|zzz | yeah, I guess that's ok

Alright then, I'll update the building script, test everything out and reopen the issue. I was under the impression that I'm not allowed to and waiting for some sign from you guys.

This has sat in accepted for inclusion for over 30 days. Clearly, there is a lack of demand for the inclusion of this software

I can only agree that it is an issue if no one (myself included) stepped up to provide a patch, and the task should be closed until someone does. However, this sad fact doesn't mean there's no audience for the application so I just wanted to comment on that part. I'm a mere Linux user with no development skills whatsoever, and providing a patch for inclusion in the Solus repository would first require to learn the most basic things to even understand how the patch syntax works in addition to just the time to maintain the package in the future, therefore I found it difficult to grasp the idea of proposing myself so far. I assume there could be many others users like me for Stremio, since this is a user-friendly media player and not really an app targeted at IT or dev people.
