Package: stremio-gtk
Version: v1.0.0-beta.11
Upstream Author: Stremio
URL: https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-linux-shell
License: GPL-3.0-only
Programming Lang: Rust
Description: Stremio media center (GTK4 client)
Stremio is a video streaming application that aggregates content from
various sources. This package provides the GTK4-based native Linux client
with modern Wayland support and GNOME integration.
This is the next-generation client using GTK4 + libadwaita + webkit2,
complementing the existing Qt5-based client (ITP #943703).
Key advantages:
- Native GTK4/libadwaita interface
- Better Wayland support
- Smaller dependency footprint
- Modern webkit2 backend
I plan to maintain this package and work toward official Debian inclusion.
This will be my second package as part of becoming a Debian Package
Maintainer.

Closing this ITP: I am no longer intending to upload this package.
It covered the CEF-based client from upstream's pre-1.0.0 line. Upstream has
since rewritten the shell to use WebKitGTK 6 instead of CEF, and that version
is what got packaged and accepted into unstable as "stremio" 1.2.0+ds-1
(#943703) on 2026-09-24. Packaging the CEF variant for Debian would also mean
packaging CEF itself, which is a separate and much larger effort (#915400).
The CEF build stays available in my own unofficial repository for hardware and
setups where that renderer still works better, renamed to stremio-cef since
the Debian client is GTK4 too and the "-gtk" suffix no longer distinguished
anything.

Juan Manuel Méndez Rey
