LBRY Electron

An electron version of the LBRY application.

This repo uses submodules, so clone it using --recursive

Setup

The lbrynet library needs to be installed along with pyinstaller, and you need everything to be able to build the lbry-web-ui

Build

run ./build.sh to create a lbry executable, bundle the front-end and move everything into the app folder

Run

./node_modules/.bin/electron app

Package

To build a distributable package for OSX, run (on an OSX machine):

electron-packager --electron-version=1.4.14 --overwrite electron LBRY

This also probably works for windows and linux, but I haven't tested it

TODO

This app works by launching the lbrynet daemon in a seperate process. Currently the process management is very poor and the lbrynet process might not be shut-down when the app is closed. Also, if the lbrynet daemon dies, there is no attempt to restart it.
