Explore the feasability of an Electron version #910

Closed heyhippari closed 3 years ago

heyhippari commented 3 years ago

It should be fairly easy to embed Nuxt inside of an Electron app.

This would potentially open the door to adding players with better format support, such as WebChimera.js and distributing a desktop version of the client for some platforms.

In order to be extendable to other "host technologies" (for lack of a better term), this would require the use of a NativeShell-like API (But not NativeShell itself, since it's pretty bad) and the implementation of said API inside of the main client.

Probably don’t want to use WebChimera... looks like the project is dead. https://github.com/RSATom/WebChimera.js/issues/110

Alternative to electron: https://github.com/nodegui/vue-nodegui

heyhippari commented 3 years ago

Indeed, looks like WebChimera is off the table.

I'm curious to see if @jbkempf's proposed solution is applicable nowadays or not.

The possibility has been explored, and our best path forward is integrating with https://github.com/iwalton3/jellyfin-media-player
