Hey! I hope vimix can soon become a better replacement to GLMixer for you :) !!
Is Vimix being maintained as a Snap application compatible with Ubuntu 19.10 ?
Yes, snap of vimix currently works with the Core 18.04 of snap ; this means it can definitely be installed on Ubuntu 19.10
What version of Ubuntu is Vimix currently maintained on.
I am running Ubuntu 22.10 for development. I however use basic libraries that do not evolve much. When using features that are from new versions, I try to keep backward compatibility.
For example : the snap is on a core from Ubuntu 18.04; there gstreamer is a very old version; thus some new codec will not work, or the SRT network streaming protocol did not exist at the time ; these features will not be available, but overall vimix will work.
The better alternative is to compile your flatpak on your own system : flatpak is available since Ubuntu 18.04, so building your own pre-release flatpak of vimix should be working!
Well there's also the official packages copied from Debian in Ubuntu: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=vimix (just uploaded 0.8.0 to Debian experimental)
I'm still actively using GLMixer, having almost 7 years of sessions built with it, and continuously using for live events.
As I understand it GLMixer on Ubuntu is only compatible through Ubuntu version 19.10, which leaves my primary video art workhorse limited to 19.10 indefinitely.
I would like to simultaneously work with both Vimix and GLMixer and have a couple of questions.
Please advise
