@Divine …. Sorry to break it to u , snapcraft has remove odio
their app is named strimio now.
How do you know it’s open source? There’s no sign of it on its page or in the github-repo (where only the readme is present).
The UI reminds me of Spotify, not that it’s a bad thing. I rather like this app.
Awesome app indeed, this is a must-have for sure.
Thanks for the tip!
