What does this change?

Adds GeForce NOW alongside Xbox Cloud Gaming, with saved sign-in, library browsing, queue handling and hardware-decoded streaming. Choose a service at startup or switch from Settings without closing the app.

Includes mouse controls for store dialogs and launchers, service icons in the library, and an updated search keyboard. Also fixes Cedar decoding and authentication issues found during testing.

How did you test it?

GFN playback tested on RG35XX-H (muOS), RG40XX-H (Knulli), Miyoo Flip (SpruceOS) and R36S (dArkOS).

Host tests, formatting checks, the ARM64 build and ABI smoke build pass. Device testing was not repeated after the final review fixes.

R36S frame pacing still needs work. GFN testing on ROCKNIX and AmberELEC is still pending.


Summary by cubic

Adds experimental GeForce NOW support alongside Xbox Cloud Gaming, letting you choose a service at startup or switch in Settings without closing the app.

GeForce NOW

  • Adds saved device-code sign-in, library browsing, queue handling, and WebRTC streaming on the existing hardware decoders.
  • Adds pointer input and an on-screen mouse for GeForce NOW launchers and store dialogs.
  • Adds a WebSocket client and enables WebSockets in the bundled libcurl build.
  • Retains ICE candidates received before the offer, routes them by SDP media index, rejects invalid token lifetimes, and honors cancellation during session discovery.
  • Frame pacing on the R36S is still uneven; ROCKNIX and AmberELEC evaluation is still pending.

Fixes and UI

  • Fixes Cedar H.264 access-unit submission, the vendor linked-list offset calculation, and device-code expiry and polling handling.
  • Adds service badges in the library and a dedicated space row on the search keyboard.
  • Shares UUID generation between providers and preserves Guide button combinations and Escape cancellation.
  • Isolates cross-compile pkg-config paths so host tooling doesn't leak into the ARM64 dependency build, and requires pkg-config as a build prerequisite.

Written for commit 455f4b5. Summary will update on new commits.

Inline comments:
In `@packaging/portmaster/greenovercast/port.json`:
- Around line 16-17: Update the inst and inst_md metadata strings to state the
required service entitlements: Xbox cloud gaming requires a Game Pass plan with
cloud gaming, while GeForce NOW requires membership plus access to the game.

In `@src/provider/geforce_now/auth_client.zig`:
- Around line 6-11: Update the bootstrap/test setup around tools/bootstrap.sh
and tools/build-dependencies.sh so SDL2 and its required headers are built
before tools/zig.sh build test runs. Invoke tools/build-dependencies.sh after
bootstrap, or have bootstrap invoke it, while preserving the existing
.tools/deps/aarch64-linux-gnu/include path and avoiding additional include paths
or unrelated host SDL2 installation.

In `@src/provider/geforce_now/webrtc_session.zig`:
- Around line 355-371: Update Session’s waitForOffer to retain pre-offer .ice
messages via a dedicated early-candidate collection instead of discarding them;
initialize and free that collection in the Session lifecycle, including destroy.
In setup, immediately after rtcSetRemoteDescription succeeds, drain the buffered
candidates through the same TCP filtering and sdp_mid handling used by
handleSignaling, then continue normal signaling.

In `@src/ui/handheld_ui.zig`:
- Around line 86-89: Update the event handling branch so `ui.quit_requested` is
set only for `SDL_QUIT`; handle keyboard Escape separately by setting
`ui.cancelled` and returning success, matching controller B behavior without
marking the application for termination.

Confidence score: 2/5

  • src/ui/provider_badge.zig currently does not compile because the rectangle initializer mixes u5 values with c_int fields and arithmetic, blocking builds that include this UI module — cast start and the run width to c_int.
  • src/ui/settings_view.zig renders STREAMING SERVICE and GEFORCE NOW on top of each other for GeForce NOW, reducing readability — shorten the label or value to preserve column separation.
  • src/util/uuid.zig duplicates UUID-v4 masking and formatting in generate and generateInstallId, creating maintenance risk if fallback or UUID formatting changes later — consolidate both paths around one shared implementation.
