## 📂 Setup Guide
|
||
|
||
### 1️⃣ **Install Essential Tools**
|
||
- **Git**: [Download](https://git-scm.com/download/win) and install.
|
||
- **Visual Studio**: [Download Community 2022](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/de/downloads/).
|
||
- **Node.js**: Get version [v8.17.0](https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.17.0/win-x86/node.exe).
|
||
- **FFmpeg**: [Download](https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/static/ffmpeg-3.3.4-win32-static.zip).
|
||
*(Other versions may also work)*.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
### 2️⃣ **Build Qt (6.8.1)**
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. Download Qt Online installer [here](https://www.qt.io/download-dev). Sadly a Qt Account must be created just for the download.
|
||
|
||
2. Run the installer and login
|
||
|
||
3. Select `Qt > Qt 6.8.1` and `Extensions > Qt WebEngine > Qt 6.8.1`
|
||
|
||
> **⏳ Note**: You can as well only select the needed modules which are
|
||
> `qt5-webview qt5-websockets qt5-webglplugin qt5-webengine qt5-webchannel qt5-tools qt5-declarative qt5-quickcontrols2 qt5-quickcontrols`
|
||
> and `MSVC 2020`
|
||
>
|
||

|
||
|
||
### 3️⃣ **Prepare the MPV Library**
|
||
|
||
- Download the MPV library: [MPV libmpv](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/libmpv/).
|
||
- Use the `mpv-dev-i686` version.
|
||
> **⏳ Note:** The submodule https://github.com/Zaarrg/libmpv already includes .lib, just make sure to unzip the actual .dll for x64 systems.
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 4️⃣ **Clone and Configure the Repository**
|
||
|
||
1. Clone the repository:
|
||
```cmd
|
||
git clone --recursive git@github.com:Zaarrg/stremio-desktop-v5.git
|
||
cd stremio-shell
|
||
```
|
||
2. Update system Envs:
|
||
```cmd
|
||
set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:/Qt/6.8.1/msvc2022_64
|
||
set Qt6_DIR=C:/Qt/6.8.1/msvc2022_64/lib/cmake/Qt6
|
||
set PATH=C:/Qt/6.8.1/msvc2022_64/bin;C:/Program Files/OpenSSL-Win64/bin;%PATH%
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3. Download the `server.js` file:
|
||
```cmd
|
||
powershell -Command Start-BitsTransfer -Source "https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/stremio-artifacts/four/v%package_version%/server.js" -Destination server.js
|
||
```
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 5️⃣ **Build / Deploying the Shell**
|
||
|
||
1. Make sure to run the following in the `x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022`
|
||
|
||
2. Run the deployment script in the ``build`` folder
|
||
```cmd
|
||
node deploy_windows.js --installer
|
||
```
|
||
> **⏳ Note:** This script uses common paths for ``qt`` and ``openssl`` make sure those are installed. If running with ``--installer`` make sure u installed ``nsis`` with the needed ``nsprocess`` plugin at least once.
|
||
|
||
3. Done. This will build the `installer` and ``dist/win`` folder.
|
||
|
||
> **⏳ Note:** This will create `dist/win` with all necessary files like `node.exe`, `ffmpeg.exe`. Also make sure to have `node.exe, stremio-runtime.exe, server.js` are in `utils\windows\` folder
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 📦 Installer (Optional)
|
||
|
||
1. Download and install [NSIS](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Download).
|
||
Default path: `C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS`.
|
||
|
||
2. Generate the installer:
|
||
```cmd
|
||
FOR /F "tokens=4 delims=() " %i IN ('findstr /C:"project(stremio VERSION" CMakeLists.txt') DO @set "package_version=%~i"
|
||
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\makensis.exe" utils\windows\installer\windows-installer.nsi
|
||
```
|
||
- Result: `Stremio %package_version%.exe`.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 🔧 Silent Installation
|
||
|
||
Run the installer with `/S` (silent mode) and configure via these options:
|
||
|
||
- `/notorrentassoc`: Skip `.torrent` association.
|
||
- `/nodesktopicon`: Skip desktop shortcut.
|
||
|
||
Silent uninstall:
|
||
```cmd
|
||
"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\LNV\Stremio-4\Uninstall.exe" /S /keepdata
|
||
```
