Don't require QT5 #35

Closed DUOLabs333 closed 2 years ago

DUOLabs333 commented 2 years ago

I'm planning to use the web interface only, and so, don't need the GUI features. Is there a way to just load up a TUI or web interface?

kanishka-linux commented 2 years ago

yes, one can start the player in headless mode using xvfb - on linux based systems. Not sure if there is any alternative available in windows or OSX.

check this section for more details

Yes, but it still requires me to have pyqt5 installed.

Yes, PyQt5 is hard required dependency for the entire application. Currently media server and GUI are tightly coupled. I also thought about de-coupling media server at one time, but it will require deep refactor. It is on my mind, but not sure when will I pick it up.
