Manual review for kodi-omega

Hello,

I would like to request a review for my snap kodi-omega.

Today I updated the snapcraft.yaml and added DVD and Blu-ray related packages and interfaces (including libdvdcss, libaacs, libbdplus, optical-drive, udisks2, and a personal-files plug for ~/.config/aacs).

The snap is a desktop build of Kodi Omega with X11 and now with Wayland support. A store review is needed . Thank you for reviewing this submission.

Best regards

Hello @TibSun75,

Please fill out this review template to aid with my review of this request. Thank you!

snapcraft: link to snapcraft.yaml if publicly available
upstream: link to the upstream repository if open-source or ‘PRIVATE’ otherwise
upstream-relation: relation of the snap publisher with the upstream
plugs:
  <plug-name>:
    interface: [optional] one of https://snapcraft.io/docs/reference/interfaces/
    attributes: [optional] interface attributes if any
    request-type: installation | manual-connection | auto-connection
    reasoning: why is this interface needed

  1. name: Kodi-Omega

  3. snapcraft: https://github.com/Tibsun75/kodi-omega-snap/blob/main/snapcraft.yaml
  4. upstream:https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc
  5. upstream-relation: I have no connection to the upstream project; Kodi prefers Flatpak…
  6. interfaces:

    • dot-config-aacs, personal-files

      • request-type: manual

      • Path: $HOME/.config/aacs

      • reasoning: Kodi needs read access to the AACS key database (KEYDB.cfg) for Blu-ray playback. Normaly the file is in ~/.config/aacs/. Without this access encrypted Blu-ray discs cannot be played. This is expected functionality for a media center application. Both VLC and the official Kodi .deb packages also ship with AACS support and expect the key database in the user’s home directory.

Done—I’d forgotten about that, sorry.

I’d be happy if I could upload it to the Snap Store soon.

Hello @TibSun75,

Unfortunately, personal-files is a super-privileged interface and requires successful publisher vetting. Publisher vetting requires that you are a collaborator or maintainer of the upstream project. If you are willing, I would encourage you to reach out to upstream and offer to maintain a snap version. Without successful publisher vetting, personal-files usage cannot be granted. Thanks for your understanding.
