Vynody

This is a community package of Vynody, maintained independently and unaffiliated with the Vynody project. It repackages the official upstream Linux release build unmodified.

Vynody is a cross-platform music player built with Flutter over a native Rust audio core. It is built around your own files: it scans local folders into a media library, plays them, and fills in what the tags are missing.

• Local media library with folder scanning, incremental updates on change, and browsing by album, artist and song.
• Synced lyrics: search and cache from LRCLIB, adjust the timeline by hand, or have a configured AI provider generate and translate them.
• Tag completion through audio fingerprinting against AcoustID and MusicBrainz, plus a built-in tag editor — useful for libraries assembled from mixed sources.
• Song recognition from the audio itself.
• Remote libraries: stream from a Navidrome server or WebDAV storage, where track metadata is read without downloading the whole file first.
• Lyric and music file sharing with other devices on the same local network.
• Sleep timer, audio spectrum and waveform views, and cover-art colour extraction.

Permissions: this package grants display, GPU, audio, network access, MPRIS, the StatusNotifier tray, the host Secret Service for saved server and AI-provider credentials, mDNS through Avahi for local-network sharing, and your XDG music directory. The library database, lyric cache, artwork and settings stay inside the sandbox under ~/.var/app/io.github.axel10.vynody. No home or host filesystem access is granted.

Music kept outside ~/Music is the one thing you may need to open up. Files you pick through the file chooser are handed over by the portal and work as they are; a folder added to the library needs a standing grant:

• Scan a music library elsewhere: flatpak override --user --filesystem=/path/to/music:ro io.github.axel10.vynody
• Write tags back to files outside the music directory (drop :ro): flatpak override --user --filesystem=/path/to/music io.github.axel10.vynody
• Desktop notifications (not used by default): flatpak override --user --talk-name=org.freedesktop.Notifications io.github.axel10.vynody
• Silence the tray icon and rely on MPRIS only: flatpak override --user --no-talk-name=org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher io.github.axel10.vynody
