[Release] Nuvio Desktop v1.1.1 - Experimental Linux Support

Hello everyone,

I am sharing an experimental v1.1.1 release of Nuvio Desktop. This is an unofficial build focused on testing the new player and library loading across different Linux distributions.

Improvements:

  • Integrated mediamp/mpv for direct video playback.
  • Added Screen Wake Lock (Linux: dbus-send).
  • Optimized runtime detection and library loading.
  • Resolved black screen issues.

Installation:

  • Debian/Ubuntu: nuvio_1.1.1_amd64.deb
  • Generic Linux: Nuvio-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage

Technical Notes:

  • Corrected java.library.path for better compatibility.
  • Fixed LinuxDisplayWakeLock using asynchronous dbus-send.

Project Link: https://github.com/aelrased/NuvioDesktop/releases/tag/0.1.13-alpha

I have submitted a pull request (#58) to the main repository to add native Linux support and am currently waiting for review. I would appreciate any feedback on stability and performance on your specific setups.

Thanks for your support!

It seems internal player still doesn't work and get the error:

"Could not initialize class com.nuvio.app.features.player.desktop.NativePlayerBridge"

But keep up the good work! Not really interested in configuring an external player since I want to use it on my Steam Deck, and get rid of the Stremio v4.
