Format params for links and ports are now being watched for in the pipewire connection code. The parsed media type is then set on the port widget / link object and they are colored accordingly. For ports, which were already colored before, this new method of determining the media type should be more reliable and accurate as this uses the real Format/EnumFormat params instead of parsing optional properties.
Helvum is a GTK-based patchbay for pipewire, inspired by the JACK tool catia.
Features planned
- Volume control
- "Debug mode" that lets you view advanced information for nodes and ports
More suggestions are welcome!
Building
Via flatpak
If you don't have the flathub repo in your remote-list for flatpak you will need to add that first:
$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Then install the required flatpak platform and SDK, if you dont have them already:
$ flatpak install org.gnome.{Platform,Sdk}//43 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable//22.08 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.llvm14//22.08
To compile and install as a flatpak, clone the project, change to the project directory, and run:
$ flatpak-builder --install flatpak-build/ build-aux/org.pipewire.Helvum.json
You can then run the app via
$ flatpak run org.pipewire.Helvum
Manually
For compilation, you will need:
- Meson
- An up-to-date rust toolchain
libclang-3.7or highergtk-4.0andpipewire-0.3development headers
To compile and install, run
$ meson setup build && cd build
$ meson compile
$ meson install
in the repository root.
This will install the compiled project files into /usr/local.
