Publish on Flathub #46

Hey syfds, I recently started using flathub.org more often. The variety of software there is fantastic. One app, that is missing there, is soundy. It would be very easy to add for you, because you already have the flatpak manifest.

Here is a tutorial on how to publish to flathub. Doing it would make your fine app available on many more OSes and to lots of people.

hi @MvBonin , thank you for the request! There is an issue in flatpak with resolving .local dns names: https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/-/issues/1013 which is not fixed yet, so auto discovery of network speakers is not supported. So in the flatpak version you need to handle adding the speaker over a static IP address which is not really a nice solution.

I will think about adding soundy to flathub and let you know.

P.S. do you have Bose SoundTouch speaker? :0)

Hey @syfds Sry for the late answer.. I got the Bose SoundTouch box that I can connect to any Aux-Device to make it "smart" :) Aah i see! Adding the speaker via static IP is not nice but I think its better than nothing.. I used elementary OS a long time but switched to fedora. Now I just built soundy myself and use it like this for now..

hi @MvBonin , if you install Soundy like describe in README you can use "auto discovery" feature so you don't need assigning your speaker to a static IP ;-)
