Install

# Linux (x86_64): latest release, checksums verified

# uninstall (settings and library stay)
curl -fsSL https://viviplayer.app/install.sh | sh -s -- --uninstall

On Arch it builds the vivi-bin package with makepkg -si; on other distributions it installs into ~/.local and checks for libmpv. Read the script.

# From source (Arch / Omarchy)
git clone https://github.com/Loafer19/vivi && cd vivi
sudo pacman -S --needed mpv sqlite rust
cargo build --release && ./target/release/vivi

Prebuilt AppImage, tarball, Windows and macOS builds are on the releases page.

Work in progress: not every frame of the Figma design is ported yet (equalizer and filter panels, network stream and new playlist dialogs, miniplayer queue variant). Progress is tracked in the milestones.
