Development

The repository is usually ahead of the publicly released version - it is 🚧 WIP and may have bugs in it.

How to start:

  • npm install to install
  • npm start to develop
  • npm run electron to build

Main dependencies in use:

Library Version Date Comment
Angular v14.2.7 Nov 2022
Angular-CLI v14.2.7 Nov 2022
Electron v21.2.1 Nov 2022 (internally uses Node v16.16.0 and Chromium 106)
Electron Builder v23.6.0 Nov 2022
  • Node: I recommend using the same version as Electron uses internally, but any version 14 or above should work.

  • Angular CLI: not required but may be useful: Angular CLI.

To help debug a production build of VHA you can use Debugtron

Remote

👩‍🚀 a new feature in VHA is the option for the user to turn on a server after the app starts. This will let the user open a simpler version of the VHA user interface on their phone or tablet (if both PC and device are on the same WiFi) and use it as remote control to play videos 🚀

For details, see instructions.

Thank you

This software would not be possible without the tremendous work by other people:

This software uses libraries from the FFmpeg project under the LGPLv2.1 with binaries from here
