mangohudpy 1.0.4

MangoHud Performance Profiler for Bazzite / SteamOS

MangoHudPy

A fully-featured MangoHud configurator, profiler, grapher, and log manager for SteamOS / Bazzite. Upload seamlessly to FlightlessSomething!

Features

• configure — generate a MangoHud.conf from presets (logging, minimal, full, battery); injects logging keys into all 4 Valve overlay presets; fixes the Bazzite/SteamOS MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE override via ~/.config/environment.d/
• profile — launch any command under MangoHud for a timed session with automatic summary/graphs
• graph — produce PNG/SVG charts from CSV logs (uses mangoplot when available, falls back to matplotlib)
• summary — human-readable stats (avg, min, max, percentiles) with FPS stability score and frametime jitter
• games — list unique game names found in your log files
• organize — sort raw logs into ~/mangologs/<GameName>/ with rotation and current symlinks
• bundle — zip logs for batch upload to FlightlessSomething
• upload — push CSVs directly to FlightlessSomething via API (interactive TUI file picker included)
• test — simulate the gamescope MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE override and confirm logging works

Config presets

Preset	Description
logging	Full CSV logging, minimal OSD — best for data collection
minimal	Lightweight HUD — FPS + frametime only, no logging
full	Everything on OSD and all logging enabled
battery	Power / battery metrics — ideal for Steam Deck / handheld

Per-game configs

mangohud-py configure --game Cyberpunk2077 --preset logging
# writes ~/.config/MangoHud/wine-Cyberpunk2077.conf

FlightlessSomething upload

# Store your API token once (get it from the site's /api-tokens page)
echo YOUR_TOKEN > ~/.flightless-token
chmod 600 ~/.flightless-token

# Upload (interactive: TUI picker lets you select files)
mangohud-py upload

# Non-interactive upload for a specific game
mangohud-py upload --game Cyberpunk2077 -y

Bazzite / SteamOS note

On Bazzite, gamescope-session-plus sets MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE to a temp file managed by mangoapp, which overrides MangoHud.conf and presets.conf. The configure command works around this by writing logging keys to ~/.config/environment.d/mangohud-logging.conf via MANGOHUD_CONFIG, which is applied on top of MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE.

Re-login to your gamescope session after running configure for the changes to take effect.

Log locations

Path	Description
~/mangologs/	Default log output and organised game folders
/tmp/MangoHud/	MangoHud default temp log location
~/.local/share/MangoHud/	XDG data dir fallback

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• MangoHud installed (mangohud in PATH)
• matplotlib — optional, for graph generation (pip install -e ".[graphs]")
• mangoplot — optional, preferred for graphs (ships with MangoHud on Bazzite)
