Qobuz for Linux

This is an UNOFFICIAL wrapper around the Qobuz Webplayer. Since it uses Electron, playing HiRes through widevine is also possible. I built this app, because my main browser Firefox is only playing MP3-quality streams, even if I enable DRM-features in settings.

TO-DO

• (Implementing MPRIS Support) seems to work, my arch-test machine seemed to have missing dependencies -> mint shows it works
• Build .deb and .rpm (go to releases :))
• push to flathub
• push to Snap Store
• Maybe more ;)

Building

Flatpak

First, generate NPM build sources:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-builder-tools.git#subdirectory=node
$ flatpak-node-generator npm package-lock.json --output flatpak/generated-sources.json

Next, install flatpak SDKs:

$ flatpak install org.flatpak.Builder org.freedesktop.Sdk//24.08 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.node24//24.08 org.freedesktop.Platform//24.08 org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp//24.08

Finally, build the flatpak:

$ flatpak run org.flatpak.Builder --repo=_repo --force-clean _build flatpak/dev.mukkematti.qobuz-linux.yml
$ flatpak build-bundle _repo qobuz-linux.flatpak dev.mukkematti.qobuz-linux

Installation

Go to releases and download the implementation you like. I recommend installing as a flatpak. Download the .flatpak-file and run the following command:

flatpak install qobuz-linux_1.0.0-x86_64.flatpak

You may be prompted to enter a root password.

Install as snap

On the releases-page, download the .snap-file. Install snap with the following command:

snap install qobuz-linux_1.0.0_amd64.snap --dangerous
