Headless, server only - Is it possible with this release? #32

Closed lmjlopes closed 2 years ago

Hi @shivasiddharth,

The installation process went smoothly, thanks for detailed notes.

I'm trying to use stremio in an headless RPI Zero 2W, in a server only mode to be accessible via browser from Ipad.

Is this possible with this release?

When I try to start the app via /bin/stremio, it throws the following error: qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.

Thanks.

Yes it's possible. Did you SSH without a display ?

shivasiddharth commented 2 years ago

Just a point to note. For the secure https endpoint, you need to start the interface from the pi itself with a display connected. Then turn on remote access and get the secure endpoint url like the one shown in the Readme Notes. The files are located in the /opt directory. Use node to start just the server for headless operation.

I was trying to keep it as light as possible, so I just flashed "Raspberry Pi OS Lite" and tried to do everything headless from SSH. I was able to start the server via node but it obviously gave me a HTTPS certificate error when tried to connect to 12470. What I understand is that I need to flash with "Raspberry Pi OS with desktop" and enable the remote access https endpoint with a display connected. There is no way to do it from the SSH interface, right?

Thanks again for your help.

Exactly.

All ok, until the point where, after starting server with node (headless) it gives always the same error when trying to open a stream:

is it something with my setup?

Thanks.

Looks like an issue with the secured endpoint. Does it affect the stream on the remote device. Stremio is blocking the changes that I make to the server file. So cant do anything more. The last suggestion for you would be to try streaming on the remote device with the interface running on the Pi.

shivasiddharth commented 2 years ago

Do you have an update on this issue ?

lmjlopes commented 2 years ago

Hi @shivasiddharth,

It does affect the stream, I cannot play any content. Since I wasn't able to get this working as intended (RPI doing streaming, Ipad as the viewing interface), I'm now seeking for a different solution to achieve my goal.

Thanks again for your help trying to solve this.
