Announcing Pegasus Frontend
-
@halfmanhalfcake ah thanks, fixed :) As for theming, yeah it has some learning curve, so I still plan to write some more, smaller guides for certain components and use cases.
@shantigilbert The problem you have is that the OS doesn't find a library required by the executable, and thus can't even start the program. As such, adding QtService can't fix this issue, however you can modify the lib search paths for the whole system, for one particular user, for one shell session/script or for one program. If you wish, we could continue going into the details in a GitHub issue.

Yeah I understand the issue, the problem seems to come that this does not happen if I run it directly, Pegasus-fe works wonderfully until I try to run it with systemd-run or with a .service file, that's is the weird issue.
I could open an issue on github, but not sure if this is a problem with Pegasus itself or is something on Libreelec, but for the sake of keeping this thread on topic and if you don't mind I will open one.
Thank you!

@fluffypillow Quick question, is there anyway I can use a 'soundeffect' to play a wav file on a keypress?
-
Hey @fluffypillow , what's the ETA on this request ?
-
- Favorite add/remove by buttonclick: will come after the metadata files are implemented (shouldn't be that far off now!).
- Page up/down function: this doesn't depend on anything else, so it'll probably just appear in one of the next releases. I wonder though, which gamepad buttons should be used here?
As for the current status, I spent the week tweaking the Qt builds to add 3D support, enable some features for the eventual USB tweaking, and fix support for an upcoming Raspberry firmware update. I've also spend some time copying all the assets and roms to a chinese pendrive for testing (literally took days!).
-
@halfmanhalfcake I think you could set up a SoundEffect to play on Keys.pressed/released.
-
@fluffypillow I tried that but doesn't seem to recognise SoundEffect :(
-
@halfmanhalfcake ah, apparently it's called Audio. You also have to
import QtMultimedia 5.8to use it. -

Sounds good. With regards to page up/down, I'm using keyboard inputs, maybe you could map these as page up/down and maybe the L2 and R2 could be used for gamepads, so the previous/next platform gets mapped to only L1 and R1 instead of both shoulder and trigger buttons?
-
@fluffypillow thanks, I’ll give that a go.
What’s the best play to ask questions on theme making? Happy for us to do it here or another place preferred?
-
Can I add videos on qml on pegasus right know? Im testing but it looks like Im not having any luck with this ...
-
@andershp Yeah that sounds good, then I'll start working on it as soon as these few remaining topics are done.
@halfmanhalfcake I think a smaller thread would be useful to collect theme-related discussions in one place, so I've just opened a new topic [here]. Feel free to ask questions!
@tronkyfran Yes, video playback is supported using the Video component (with
import QtMultimedia 5.8). To actually play videos, call the object'splay()function, or setautoPlay: true. -
Hi @fluffypillow I was away from this thread for a while, but IIRC in the beginning I saw something about an Android port. Is it/will it be possible?
We don't have a decent free frontend for Android currently (at least I don't know any), and Pegasus would be a game changer...
By the way, thanks for sharing your awesome work with us!
Cheers!
-
@meleu Yup, it should be possible, just haven't tried it yet. Shouldn't take too much changes in the code, so I'll see if I can create an experimental build next week.
-
@fluffypillow another question: what mkdocs theme are you using to generate the documentation pages? It looks very elegant.

Is there a way to hide the RetroPie "System Folder" for Pegasus when browsing games?
AFAIK, the install scripts etc. doesn't work from Pegasus anyways, as stated here.
Could be a "RetroPie menu" on/off toggle from the Pegasus Settings menu?
It surely would make it even nicer. -
@andershp You can use a pad instead of a keyboard to maneuver in retropie-setup .
Which reminds me..
@fluffypillow The USB keyboard not working in retropie-setup also happens with raspi-config and I think the audio mixer too. Pegasus will also exit to the command line if I shutdown Pegasus while having an fxp client connected to it. ES doesn't care who's connected and shuts down. I've been installing Pegasus from retropie-setup. -
So I've just spent the last few days trying to make 3D work on the Pi, and this afternoon debugging the keyboard issue in the terminal menus, with no success yet. Both seem to be a bug in the Qt framework, so I'll report the issue to it's devs.
@AndersHP Not yet; I plan to add an enable/disable button for the compatibility modules (ES2, Steam), and an add/remove search path for directories containing Pegasus' own metadata files.
@Darksavior You mean when you select shutdown, Pegasus crashes/quits to the console, if there's an open FTP connection to the Pi?
