Android

[mrsstaceyseigle]

Can Open stage control build, compile for android os.

I like to install on android as android will be the server.

[jean-emmanuel]

No, open-stage-control is not designed this way. There seem to be solutions to run node on android though, so maybe running in headless mode with node is possible, but I wouldn't bet on it.

[jean-emmanuel]

-> https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/9162#issuecomment-362978842 I can't try that, but if you manage to get it working, I'd be happy to add instructions in the docs

[mrsstaceyseigle]

I will give it a try and will report back here.

In order to run headless do we have to compile the source code or do we just download the source code as is and just run the correct commands in node.

Also would you be able to provide headless commands

[jean-emmanuel]

You need to follow the "run from sources" instructions except that you run the app with "node /path/to/app/ --no-gui" instead of "npm start". Commands are documented here. You'll probably have to remove some dependencies by hand from package.json, such as https://github.com/jean-emmanuel/open-stage-control/blob/master/package.json#L30

I am trying to run headless. I have not tried on android yet but I did try on windows. Here are the errors I got.

$ node /C:\Users\mrsst\Downloads\open-stage-control-0.38.4-win32-x64/app/ -n internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:582 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\mrsst\UsersmrsstDownloadsopen-stage-control-0.38.4-win32-x64\app' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:580:15) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:506:25) at Function.Module.runMain (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:741:12) at startup (internal/bootstrap/node.js:285:19) at bootstrapNodeJSCore (internal/bootstrap/node.js:739:3)

[mrsstaceyseigle]

So in order to get it to work I need to first install xvfb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb. Is that correct

No, this is only needed in a true headless environment (without a display/window manager) and not required when running with node. I was just pointing out the next paragraph (Running without Electron).

[mrsstaceyseigle]

[jean-emmanuel]

The program failed to recognize node under windows, it should be fixed with latest commit. I also made it enable --no-gui automatically when running with node.

[mrsstaceyseigle]

So should I redownload the package

[jean-emmanuel]

There has been no new release so you gotta run git pull and package it yourself (note that you can also just run from sources without packaging, as explained in the docs).

[mrsstaceyseigle]

really sorry to bother you with this. Just trying to get this to run headless on windows so that I can later try on android. So I tried to run it directly from the source after git pull. here is the last error receive

Looks like npm install wasn't run or errored ?

[mrsstaceyseigle]

Seem to be a hard one.

Tried the followings npm install bash node /c:/open-stage-control/open-stage-control/app/ -n

Errors: $ node /c:/open-stage-control/open-stage-control/app/ -n c:\open-stage-control\open-stage-control\app\main\main.js:18 require('electron').dialog.showErrorBox = (title, err)=>{ ^ TypeError: Cannot set property 'showErrorBox' of undefined at Object.

Ok that's better, we're back to the error caused by the misdetection of node under windows, could you check that app\main\main.js contains this line: https://github.com/jean-emmanuel/open-stage-control/blob/master/app/main/main.js#L6 ?

[mrsstaceyseigle]

main.js does not contain that line. I have attached the file here. Just change the file extension from .txt to .js main.txt

[jean-emmanuel]

This means your local git repository is not up to date, maybe git pull origin master again ?

[mrsstaceyseigle]

$ git pull origin master From https://github.com/jean-emmanuel/open-stage-control

• branch master -> FETCH_HEAD Already up to date.

I didn't took the time to open your file yesterday, but it appears it does contain that line... I pushed a new commit to try to fix the problem, can you pull and try again ?

[jean-emmanuel]

Seems to be possible after all ! Check out #405

[cyberic99]

@mrsstaceyseigle if something is not clean enough, don't hesitate to ask it in #405.

After all, it o-s-c seems easier to build on android than on windows ;-)

[mrsstaceyseigle]

Everything is working great now with the updated commit.

[jean-emmanuel]

Great ! I'm closing this since #405 seems more advanced on the initial topic

[mrsstaceyseigle]

Before closing please allow me to ask this question. Can you please make an Android Version of this software. PLEASE

[jean-emmanuel]

Haha, don't worry you can still ask questions even if it's closed ! There won't be an official android version nor an iOS version anytime soon as 1. the main goal of the project is to provide a desktop app 2. I don't have the hardware and the free time required to work on that.

[jean-emmanuel]

But again, #405 seem to provide that in a way :)
