scoronado12 / hdhomerun-gui Goto Github PK

My first mistake when creating this was using qmake instead of cmake or anything of that nature. This turns into a mess where you get a makefile that has a bigger file size than any of the actual code I've written

One goal that I want to add is the ability to take a TV Listings API and add the data such as the Now Playing TV Show/ Description, and have two extra views be taken on as members of a Channel object within the channelTable.

To do this, the following must be done:

• Move out any straggling functions that need to be removed from the mainwindow.cpp controller class.
• Remodularize the project structure so that qt classes/headers remain in one directory, generic c++ files defining objects are in another, files/headers containing various calls to libhdhomerun are in another, and other classes containing calls to the TV listings API get placed in its own respective directory.
• Have the API key either be placed in one of many places such as: a dotfile (trying to follow XDG Spec), an environment variable, or have a settings panel.
• Lack of API key shall not inhibit the use of the application since there may be different issues surrounding distributing it within this git repository. Simply have a placeholder string give info such as No Progrm Data Available within the default constructor for Channel()
• Have a means of associating each channel from the API and each channel from the device so that they can be correctly displayed.

Issue:

User clicks on View Channel Button, client crashes due to an expected SelectedItem() being undefined.

The application currently uses some old school unistd.h os system calls to launch MPV Media Player passing in the stream URL as an argument.

In order to drop this as a dependency, the following must be done:

• Review QT5 Video Player View Widgets (one of them should be the universally supported widget)
• Have the means to select the desired quality of the stream as offered by the HDHomeRun HTTP API
• Resize the QT UI Scene in QT Designer so that a video player will not look out of place
• Lastly, make sure that the program can continue to build on both Ubuntu and Arch Linux
