Use in Game Mode for Steam Deck?

Opened this issue a year ago · 17 comments

I've been trying to get this working on my Steam Deck. It does indeed work, but only in desktop mode. I've added it as a non-steam game, but it never works. Is there a way to get this working in game mode?

What specifically do you mean by "never works"? Unfortunately, I can't test this myself because I do not have a Steam Deck to test it on, but you might be able to research if there is a similar issue with other electron apps.

Also, if anyone reading this wanted to donate a steam deck that would be great.

I mean it never works in game mode, and neither on Steam library. It only works when I double click on the file within the folder in desktop mode.

Can you attach a screen recording or something?

I found a related thread but I didn't see an answer.

I might need to package the application as an AppImage because the list of supported files in the file picker is *.application, *.exe, *.sh, and *.AppImage

So how do you do that?

Answer 7 · 2023-07-20T18:50:05.000Z

I would have to create and publish an AppImage version of Nativefier-YouTube-on-TV-for-Desktop.

Answer 8 · 2023-07-20T18:52:08.000Z

Would it be an update release?

Answer 9 · 2023-07-20T18:53:41.000Z

I would release a new update and would include an AppImage as a download option.

Oh Ok. Also is there something similar with Netflix, Crunchyroll, etc?

You can make your own app from any website.

Is the update up yet?

Answer 13 · 2023-07-20T19:27:48.000Z

I will try to release it in the next few days after the upstream nativefier project merges this pr. I do not have an x86 linux computer to test it on so I will have to try to create and test it in Gitpod/GitHub Codespaces.

And another thing, is there a way to get a Roku or Smart TV version of Netflix and other streaming apps to use for nativefier?

Answer 15 · 2023-07-21T18:05:20.000Z

YouTube only works because the YouTube Roku app is just a special browser that loads youtube.com/tv. You could use a different streaming app if you could find one that is just a website.

Answer 16 · 2023-07-23T05:59:17.000Z

So Netflix, Crunchyroll etc. on Roku works the same as using them on the browser?

Is there an update made yet?
