## About



_Video Hub App_ was created by [Boris Yakubchik](https://videohubapp.com/en/about). It uses the frameworks _Angular_ and _Electron_.



## License



This software was built on top of [`angular-electron`](https://github.com/maximegris/angular-electron) by [Maxime GRIS](https://github.com/maximegris). It carries an _MIT_ license (see the _LICENSE_ file). While the license is permissive, I ask that you do not distribute free copies of this software unless you have significantly changed it.

I would love to see the improvements you make to this app and am happy to accept pull requests. You can reach out if you'd like to coordinate / collaborate, or just _jump to [issues](https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App/issues)_ to see what's already getting worked on and to add new suggestions!

Please consider improving or adding an icon to the app. It's a simple process, just [follow the instructions](https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App/tree/master/src/app/components/icon)!



## Upcoming features



See [issues](https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App/issues) for what is in progress.



## Development



⚠ The repository is usually ahead of the publicly [released version](https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App/releases) - it is 🚧 WIP and may have bugs in it.



How to start:



- `npm install` to install (you may need to run `npm install --legacy-peer-deps` if install fails)

- `npm start` to develop

- `npm run electron` to build



Main dependencies in use:



| Library          | Version | Date      | Comment |

| ---------------- | ------- | --------- | ------- |

| Angular          | v18     | Jun 2024  |         |

| Angular-CLI      | v18     | Jun 2024  |         |

| Electron         | v30     | Jun 2024  | (internally uses Node `v20.11.1` and Chromium 124) |

| Electron Builder | v24     | Jun 2024  |         |



- **Node**: It may be best to use the same version as _Electron_ uses internally (`v20.11.1`)



- **Angular CLI**: not required but may be useful: [Angular CLI](https://cli.angular.io).



- **Mac**: We now have `M1` and `Intel` builds, but you may need to manually update the _FFmpeg_ and _FFprobe_ executables if you're building for a different architecture than you are on.



To help debug a production build of VHA you can use [Debugtron](https://github.com/bytedance/debugtron)



## Remote



👩‍🚀 a new feature in VHA is the option for the user to turn on a _server_ after the app starts. This will let the user open a simpler version of the VHA user interface on their phone or tablet (if both PC and device are on the same WiFi) and use it as remote control to play videos 🚀



For details, see [instructions](https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App/blob/master/remote/README.md).
