Install the .deb
sudo apt install ./wyndlass-player_0.1.25_amd64.deb
apt installs what the player needs with it. Its files go in /opt/wyndlass-player, and the command wyndlass-player starts it.
Start it
A kiosk set-up, which starts the player when the computer starts, with no desktop around it, is coming. Until then, give the account that runs the player its data folder, once, then start it from that account's desktop:
sudo install -d -o "$USER" -m 700 /var/lib/wyndlass-player
wyndlass-player
The player fills the screen and shows a pairing code.
Or run the AppImage
The AppImage installs nothing. It keeps its data in the same folder as the .deb's player, so give your account that folder once. Then make the file executable and run it, from a terminal on your desktop:
sudo install -d -o "$USER" -m 700 /var/lib/wyndlass-player
chmod +x wyndlass-player-0.1.25-x86_64.AppImage
./wyndlass-player-0.1.25-x86_64.AppImage
It needs FUSE, which most desktops have. Where there is none, add --appimage-extract-and-run after its name.
Chromium's sandbox keeps the pages the player shows away from the rest of your account. An AppImage keeps it only where Linux lets programs make their own user namespaces. Ubuntu 24.04 does not, so there the player stops and says why. On Ubuntu or Debian, install the .deb, which keeps the sandbox. To run the AppImage without the sandbox anyway, put WYNDLASS_NO_SANDBOX=1 before its name.
Nothing updates the AppImage. For a newer version, download it again from this page.
Then pair it
In Wyndlass, open Devices, choose Add screen, and type the code the screen shows. Or scan its QR code with your phone.
Good to know
- Ctrl+Shift+S opens the player's settings, over what it shows.
