Arch Linux User Repository

This package is not out-of-date at this time; the last stable release was in 2020. If you want the beta or git version, create a new package.

You should opt-in yt-dlp too, (I think) xdm use them [1].

Edit: I checked again for this releases xdm just use youtube-dl, sorry.

xdman 8 beta new package : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xdman8-beta-git

Thanks for catching; I've added the icon and desktop file back in.

with the update to xdman 1:7.2.11-1, the desktop application launcher was removed, right? just making sure coz i dont see xdman in my app list. app can now be launch through terminal, correct?

[edit] Thanks for updating and adding back the desktop app launcher on xdman 1:7.2.11-2

I whipped this up today. Probably as good as any.

@ZorinArch why not upload PKGBUILD here(AUR)?

Who want to try new XDM 8 Beta, the official binaries are from here

For those who do not know, XDM has been migrated from Java to c# dotNET more info Here

I built a binary for arch linux from source (until XDM developer release binaries) and if you like you can download it from link: XDM-8.0.1-archlinux-beta

Remove old version before install XDM 8 beta

Install

sudo pacman -Syu dotnet-runtime && sudo pacman -U /path/to/xdman_gtk-8.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Issues in linux version (Hope XDM developer fix it soon):

• Change language does not work.
• In complete tab, if you select item and press delete does not work. you can use Removed finish downloads from menu
• XDM does not load in system tray in wayland.

Could you please add StartupWMClass=xdman-Main
