BifrOSt RÚV

org.bifrost.Ruv is an Icelandic-first television application built natively for COSMIC with Rust and libcosmic. It presents RÚV news, video on demand, search, television schedules, and the RÚV and RÚV 2 live streams in a remote-control-friendly interface. English is available as a complete fallback.

This is an independent client. RÚV owns its names, programming, editorial content, imagery, streams, and trademarks; BifrOSt and this application are not affiliated with or endorsed by RÚV. The application icon uses the official square RÚV logo from RÚV’s public brand-assets page.

Data and sandbox

The application reads public RÚV RSS, GraphQL, search, image, and HTTPS media endpoints. Article HTML is converted to plain readable text before display. Playback uses iced_video_player and GStreamer inside the application.

The Flatpak has network access for those services, display access for Wayland with fallback X11, PulseAudio access for playback, and GPU acceleration. It has no host filesystem, camera, microphone, device-wide, session-bus, or system-bus permission. It stores no credentials and includes no analytics or tracking.

Native development

Rust 1.93 or newer and the GStreamer development libraries are required:

cargo test --locked --manifest-path apps/ruv/Cargo.toml
cargo run --locked --manifest-path apps/ruv/Cargo.toml \
  --bin bifrost-ruv

Cargo.lock and cargo-sources.json are reviewed source-acquisition inputs, not disposable build products. After intentionally changing dependencies, refresh both from the repository root with a current checkout of flatpak-builder-tools:

cargo generate-lockfile --manifest-path apps/ruv/Cargo.toml
python3 /path/to/flatpak-builder-tools/cargo/flatpak-cargo-generator.py \
  apps/ruv/Cargo.lock -o apps/ruv/cargo-sources.json
cargo test --locked --manifest-path apps/ruv/Cargo.toml

Review the lockfile and generated source URLs, revisions, and checksums together. The Flatpak build uses cargo --offline --locked; it does not resolve or fetch Cargo dependencies in the build sandbox.

Flatpak candidate

Install Flatpak Builder and the Freedesktop 25.08 SDK, Rust SDK extension, and the stable com.system76.Cosmic.BaseApp, then run:

flatpak-builder --user --install-deps-from=flathub --force-clean \
  --default-branch=stable build/ruv apps/ruv/org.bifrost.Ruv.yml

To create an unsigned bundle for review:

flatpak-builder --user --install-deps-from=flathub --force-clean \
  --default-branch=stable --repo=repo/ruv build/ruv \
  apps/ruv/org.bifrost.Ruv.yml
flatpak build-bundle repo/ruv org.bifrost.Ruv.flatpak \
  org.bifrost.Ruv stable --arch=x86_64
sha256sum org.bifrost.Ruv.flatpak

The application repository never receives the BifrOSt application-release private key and never publishes directly to the trusted catalog. A reviewed candidate is admitted, signed, and published only by a release operator using dispatch-app-release.py from olibuijr/BifrOSt.
