@tsmith good catch! applied fixes based on your write up. thx.

The package installs the desktop file as streamcontroller.desktop with Icon=streamcontroller, but the app registers its GApplication ID as com.core447.StreamController. This causes two breakages on Wayland:

1. Tray icon missing — SNI looks up the icon by app-id (com.core447.StreamController) but only streamcontroller.png exists in hicolor.

2. Dock/taskbar icon missing — compositors match the window class com.core447.StreamController to a desktop file by name; streamcontroller.desktop is never found.

The upstream flatpak/launch.desktop already has the correct Icon=com.core447.StreamController. The fix is to use that file (patching only Exec) and install both the desktop file and icon under the reverse-domain name. Suggested change to package():

Replace these two lines:

install -Dm644 "$startdir/streamcontroller.desktop" "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/streamcontroller.desktop"
install -Dm644 "$srcdir/$_reponame/flatpak/icon_256.png" "$pkgdir/usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/streamcontroller.png"

With:

sed 's|Exec=.*|Exec=streamcontroller|' "$srcdir/$_reponame/flatpak/launch.desktop" \
    | tee /tmp/sc.desktop > /dev/null
echo "StartupWMClass=com.core447.StreamController" >> /tmp/sc.desktop
install -Dm644 /tmp/sc.desktop "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/com.core447.StreamController.desktop"
install -Dm644 "$srcdir/$_reponame/flatpak/icon_256.png" "$pkgdir/usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/com.core447.StreamController.png"

Also remove "streamcontroller.desktop" from the source array and its corresponding checksum in sha256sums.

Recommended PKGBUILD change (the actual diff):

-source=("$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::https://github.com/StreamController/StreamController/archive/refs/tags/$_pkgver.tar.gz" "streamcontroller.desktop")

Yea i'm also getting issues with the tray icon not being there. And also if i try deleting the settings and starting over the app fails to launch until i manually create the folder ~/.var/app/com.core447.StreamController/data/pages/backups

When using this package, the tray icon is missing, and is blank instead.

With this pkgver function the version number is more in sync with your other package streamcontroller. As long as upstream is using beta in their git tags.

pkgver() {
  cd ${_pkgname}
  git describe --long --tags --abbrev=7 | { read _gittag; echo "${_gittag/-beta./beta}"; } | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}
