Building

You need:

  • Qt 5.6 alpha
  • cmake 3.0 or newer
  • ninja is recommended for building

Special Qt requirements:

  • On Windows, you must apply qt-patches/0003-Always-enable-viewport-stuff.patch for correct window scaling. Applying the patches in qt-patches/qt-5.6-alpha/ fixes some stability issues.
  • On OSX, you should apply qt-patches/0002-qtbase-Don-t-show-the-menu-bar-at-all-in-lion-style-fullscr.patch to improve the user experience in fullscreen.
  • You can try to use Qt 5.5, but then you also need to apply the following patches: qt-patches/0001-qtwebengine-Add-a-backgroundColor-property.patch qt-patches/0004-qtwebengine-transparency-window-creation.patch Without them, video playback will not work.

Get dependencies:

  • scripts/fetch-binaries.py -p darwin-x86_64

If you're happy just building from the command line then run CMake for the ninja build tool:

  • mkdir build ; cd build
  • cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DQTROOT=/path/to/qt -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output ..

Build (ninja):

  • ninja

Make a distributable package:

  • ninja install (be patient, it's slow)

Or if you prefer working in Xcode, run CMake for the xcode build):

  • mkdir build ; cd build
  • cmake -GXcode -DQTROOT=/path/to/qt ..

Debugging Web Client

You can run a locally hosted development version of the web app within the Konvergo application. If the main app window is open you can also run Chrome side by side to debug.

  • Run the grunt server:konvergo from the web-client submodule. This will run a dev version of the web client
  • Update the starturl in ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Player/Plex Media Player.conf to point to http://localhost:3333/app/dev-konvergo.html
  • Run the Plex Media Player.app
  • Tail the ~/Library/Logs/Plex Media Player/Plex Media Player.log, optionally grepped with WebClient to see console.logs
  • Open Chrome and point to http://localhost:3333/app/dev-konvergo.html. This should open a Qt channel to the main Plex Media Player.app and function as normal - but with the ability to add breakpoints and inspect code
