Yoke crash on startup

[pmolodyk]

I am using Fedora 32. After running yoke-enable-uinput I run yoke and get the following error and the app crashes:

Starting service... Press Ctrl+C to exit.
Shutting down...
Exception in thread zeroconf-Engine-32239:

Are you running the latest version from master?

Your error looks a lot like #50

[pmolodyk]

I installed it with pip

[pmolodyk]

I cloned the repo and launched yoke from the /bin folder, and got

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./yoke", line 17, in <module>
    service = yoke.Service(args.name, args.id, args.iface, args.port, args.buffer)
TypeError: __init__() takes  from 2 to 3 positional arguments but 6 were given

[pmolodyk]

So it seems the version of yoke in pip3 conflicts with the latest commit, I replaced the yoke dir from ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yoke with the one from the commit and now I can start it up but when I connect from the phone I get

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm getting the same issue on Windows

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: b' 1.3410755 -0.037809316 9.714447 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0'

Is this a possible solution? (StackOverflow)

I think replacing int() with int.from_bytes() solves the issue, but I'm not sure of the byte type and byte order.

We changed not just the Python backend, but also the Android app, so the message format is different. That's probably why it isn't working for you. The latest version can be found in devel/app-debug.apk (for Android <= 8), or in this comment (should work for all Android versions but I haven't got any feedback).

Yes, the version split has been a mess for past 2 years or so, we should probably finally get rid of all v0.1 things. @rmst

BTW this project could use more maintainers (I'm not even on Android anymore).

I got it running, thanks, so I guess we can close this issue. Steam still doesn't recognise yoke as a gamepad, though, so I cant use it.
