[Feature Request] Linux support #28

Open MaybeAdmin opened 2 years ago

MaybeAdmin commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to get this (mainly the low latency mode) on Linux?

SpriteOvO commented 2 years ago

Sure, I recently happened to be planning to make the entire AirPodsDesktop support Linux, maybe next week, I'll start attempting to port.

The main challenges I can think of right now are Bluetooth related stuff and media pause/play. Low audio latency mode should not be a problem, as it is fully implemented using Qt.

After a successful port, I may need help with packaging and distribution on Linux. I have no experience at all in this area. So contributors are welcome.

UPDATE: WIP on linux branch.

You could handle packaging either by just releasing the raw binaries and providing instructions on how to run them, or releasing it on the AUR / as a .deb file for debian based distros. The latter could potentially be automated by running CICD

Where can i find instructions for building it on linux?

@aswejei Not yet, but you can take a look at the CI script.

It currently just passes compilation, but the platform specific code is still not implemented, so it doesn't work yet.

Thanks for making this app! I used it all the time on windows, but now since I've moved to ubuntu, is there any way I can use it?

Please Please!! We need it on linux!

This app looks very promising

The artifact here is a single binary? How one would go about running this on a Linux system after the Artifact is made?

oleggtro commented 12 months ago

Its simple: You don't. A bunch of the bluetooth related code is OS specific and currently not implemented for linux.

still waiting for linux version

oleggtro commented 11 months ago

Then go ahead and submit a pr

Msouza91 commented 11 months ago

Unfortunately I don't have experience with the language in the project to try and help with coding, but I'm up for helping with testing or some CI/CD setup if the devs catch some time to work on this implementation.

JoTechOfficial commented 2 months ago

Would linux support, even if it's bare bones for low latency support be coming? Honestly I only need a way to get the low latency to work as I'm moving over to linux. Mainly because of microsofts moves with Windows 11 24H2. I'm just not staying on it anymore.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. No one is working on this specific repo anymore, but I am interested in low latency support as well. Wireplumber supports aptX low latency, but I think AirPods only use AAC. I think some Pipewire and Wireplumber code contributions might be necessary.
