Flatpak Support

[mymindstorm]

Hi,

Would Bluecherry consider supporting an official Flathub release of the client? This would allow support for distributions other than Debian/Ubuntu. I have thrown together a working example of this at https://github.com/mymindstorm/flathub/tree/com.bluecherrydvr.Client.

Thanks. Version 2 of the client is not under active development anymore. I'm moving this to Version 3 (code named Unity) - https://github.com/bluecherrydvr/unity

We just recently added support for deb packages, AppImage and Linux binaries. If you get time and want to update the PR for Version 3 we would certainly look at the options for distributing it.

I am not familiar with how much feature parity there is between Unity and the old version. Assuming that the timeline for Unity stability is in the long term, what if we were to have the old version as the default installation and Unity released on the beta branch under the same package?

Sure. However the client of Version 2 is pretty much a dead project. There will be no updates or changes to the code base.
