I was hoping to specified it as optdeps directly, but I applied it at a moment.

lufog commented on 2025-08-30 17:52 (UTC)

I think it would be more correct to add nwjs-ffmpeg-codecs to provides, and remove nwjs from optdepends.

oech3 commented on 2025-08-30 15:29 (UTC)

nwjs-ffmpeg-codecs is no longer existing and renamed to chromium-ffmpeg for all Chromiums.

lufog commented on 2025-08-18 08:42 (UTC)

Ok, I'll remove it with the next version.

oech3 commented on 2025-08-18 08:07 (UTC)

I added hooks to chromium-ffmpeg{,-bin} pkgs to replace it. So this pkg can remove ffmpeg from source.

@oech3, I can do that, but it won't work. Without removing libffmpeg.so from nwjs/lib/, it will be loaded as a higher priority one. Of course, I can put the original file in nwjs/lib_fb (to load it as a fallback). And the third-party one can be installed as a separate package in nwjs/lib/. It will work, but it doesn't look very good... Bad idea, don't want to make wrappers for all binaries that require libffmpeg.so.

Would you put #!/usr/bin/bash; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/nwjs exec /opt/nwjs/nw "$@" at /usr/bin/nw which avoids to override .so at here?

Added .desktop file with MimeType=inode/directory in version 0.102.1. Now, you can run NW.js applications (eg win versions of RPG Maker MV games) by opening the folder (containing package.json) via 'Open With...' menu.
