@fduncanh I added it now but FYI you are a co-maintainer so you can also push to this package :)

new feature in uxplay-1.73 (should be added to PKGBUILD)

uxplay-beacon.py DBUS-based python3 script for running a standalone bluetooth-LE beacon for alternative (non-avahi DNS_SD) Service Discovery
uxplay-beacon.1 manpage for uxplay-beacon.py

To test, (1) run uxplay-beacon.py (2) then (in different window) uxplay -ble

add the following lines to PKGBUILD :

# install BlueToothLE beacon script

install -Dm 755 "$srcdir/$_gitname-$pkgver/Bluetooth_LE_beacon/dbus/uxplay-beacon.py" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/uxplay-beacon.py"

# install beacon script manpage

install -Dm 644 "$srcdir/$_gitname-$pkgver/Bluetooth_LE_beacon/dbus/uxplay-beacon.1" "$pkgdir/usr/share/man/man1/uxplay-beacon.1"

@eslamallam Sorry for the late response. I have moved it to the proper place now. I tested it and wanted to note that the previous way also worked with systemctl --user start uxplay. But /usr/lib is indeed the correct place for package-managed services.

The systemd service should be a user service (saved in /usr/lib/systemd/user) as indicated in the README of the maintainer. When it runs as root, it doesn't display the mirrored screen.

@lunasophia Next version will include a systemd service. Upstream added it https://github.com/FDH2/UxPlay/commit/3892f19847bd882fed725b1f42eef349974c0d0f

For the out of date flag, I was referencing this comment but ohmygoodness I didn't see the date, I am so sorry.

D3SOX commented on 2024-08-01 15:29 (UTC)

Also I found that there already is a PR for a systemd service https://github.com/FDH2/UxPlay/pull/317

D3SOX commented on 2024-08-01 15:27 (UTC)

Where does it say that this package is out of date? It is using the latest version from GitHub

D3SOX commented on 2024-08-01 15:14 (UTC)

Yeah good idea. I thought of adding another desktop entry to launch it without a Terminal but there's no easy way to see the status then and it's cumbersome to manually end it.
