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 (you may need to run npm install --legacy-peer-deps if install fails)
• npm start to develop
• npm run electron to build

Main dependencies in use:

Library	Version	Date	Comment
Angular	v18	Oct 2024
Angular-CLI	v18	Oct 2024
Electron	v33	Oct 2024	(internally uses Node v20.18.0 and Chromium 128)
Electron Builder	v25	Oct 2024

• Node: It may be best to use the same version as Electron uses internally (v20.18.0)

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

• Mac: We now have M1 and Intel builds, but you may need to manually update the FFmpeg and FFprobe executables if you're building for a different architecture than you are on.

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
