Windows installer silently failed to launch because build-dist-windows.sh
maintained its own DEPS list that drifted from server/pyproject.toml and
was missing `cryptography` — ledgrab.utils.secret_box imports AESGCM at
module load, so pythonw.exe crashed before the tray icon appeared. Also
missing: just-playback (lazy import, silent until a sound triggers).
- Add cryptography + just-playback to DEPS with a sync-with-pyproject
warning comment
- Extend the post-cleanup on-disk check to abort the build if
cryptography / cffi / just_playback go missing again
- Launcher now exports TCL_LIBRARY / TK_LIBRARY so the screen-overlay
tkinter thread stops logging "Can't find init.tcl" at startup
- Installer wipes stale debug.bat / debug.log on install and uninstall
(leftovers from the pre-rename wled_controller era produced a
misleading ModuleNotFoundError when users tried to diagnose launch
failures)
- Remove the top-of-file "IMPORTANT: Remove WLED naming throughout the
app" checklist. The effort was absorbed by the multi-backend refactor
(BLE / USB-serial / ESP-NOW / MQTT / OpenRGB providers all shipped),
and the remaining user-facing copy has been swept in separate commits.
- Add an "Android Signing Secrets (Gitea)" section covering the four
secrets the release APK CI expects, the one-off `keytool` command to
generate `release.jks`, the consequences of losing the keystore, and
a checklist of the remaining setup steps before tagging v0.4.1.
Primary bug — step-level env is not visible in that same step's `if:`
expression. `Decode signing keystore` had
if: env.ANDROID_KEYSTORE_BASE64 != ''
env:
ANDROID_KEYSTORE_BASE64: ${{ secrets.ANDROID_KEYSTORE_BASE64 }}
so the env context seen by the `if:` evaluator was empty regardless of
whether the secret was configured. The step was skipped, keystore.present
never became 'true', and every release tag silently fell back to
assembleDebug. Result: APKs named `LedGrab-0.4.0-android-debug.apk` that
can't upgrade a previously-release-signed install (signature mismatch).
Fix — move ANDROID_KEYSTORE_BASE64 to the job-level env block. It's now
resolvable in the if-expression of any step in the job, and the shell
inherits it exactly the same way as before.
Secondary — add a "Guard release tag against missing keystore" step that
fires between the decode attempt and the gradle build. If is_release=true
but keystore.present!='true', the job fails with a clear error directing
the operator to configure the four signing secrets. Previously a
misconfigured Gitea silently shipped debug APKs labeled as releases.
The "discover your WLED devices" line predates BLE / USB-serial / ESP-NOW /
MQTT / OpenRGB support and misrepresents what the app does. Replaced with
a generic "add your LED devices" — the device-add UI lists what's actually
supported, and INSTALLATION.md carries the long-form detail.
build-android.yml
- Attach step upserts the Gitea release: GET /releases/tags/<TAG>, and
POST to create it on 404 instead of warning-and-skipping. Removes the
ordering dependency on release.yml's create-release job — the Android
workflow can now own its own release attachment end-to-end.
- Fail loudly on broken DEPLOY_TOKEN: curl -f on every asset call so
403/422 surface as job failures instead of "Uploaded" lies, and an
explicit check that the token is non-empty before starting.
- Preserve the pre-existing replace-on-re-run behavior for idempotent
asset uploads.
release.yml
- Add workflow_dispatch trigger with optional `version` input so the
Windows/Linux/Docker builds can be exercised on demand between real
releases (was tag-push only).
- Gate create-release on github.event_name == 'push' so a manual
dispatch doesn't create a stray Gitea release.
- Each build job gets `if: !cancelled() && (needs.create-release.result
in (success, skipped))` so dispatch runs still produce artifacts even
though create-release was skipped.
- Gate each "Attach * to release" step on github.event_name == 'push'.
- Docker: login + push are push-only; build runs on both triggers so
dispatch validates the Dockerfile without needing registry creds.
Chaquopy's pip --find-links argument was built with a hard-coded
"file:///" prefix plus rootDir.absolutePath. That works on Windows
(paths start with "C:/...", so prefix + path produces three slashes
after "file:") but breaks on Linux (paths start with "/workspace/...",
so prefix + path produces four slashes — pip then parses "workspace"
as the URL's hostname and aborts with
"ValueError: non-local file URIs are not supported on this platform".
Pick the prefix based on whether the absolute path already starts with
"/", so we always end up with exactly three slashes between "file:" and
the drive letter or root.
- Create android/app/src/main/python before `ln -sfn` — the parent dir
isn't committed (android/.gitignore:17 ignores /ledgrab inside it) so
fresh CI checkouts had nothing to link into, failing with
"No such file or directory".
- Also wrap the step with `set -euo pipefail` and a `test -d` check so a
broken link aborts the job instead of producing a silently-empty APK.
- Drop the `branches: [master]` push trigger and the `paths:` filter —
every master commit touching android/** or server/src/ledgrab/** was
queueing a ~100 MB APK build that nobody used. Only tag pushes (v*)
and workflow_dispatch remain.
Boot-time startup so LedGrab has display capture and control without user
interaction on rooted TV boxes. Also folds in a batch of review findings
from the Android package audit.
Autostart
- BootReceiver fires on BOOT_COMPLETED / LOCKED_BOOT_COMPLETED /
MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED, gated by AutostartPrefs and Root.looksRooted().
Dispatches CaptureService.createRootIntent via
ContextCompat.startForegroundService. Unrooted devices are a no-op
because MediaProjection consent cannot be bypassed silently.
- AutostartPrefs: thin SharedPreferences wrapper, defaults to enabled.
Exposed as a CheckBox on the stopped panel; greyed out when not rooted.
- Manifest: RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS,
WAKE_LOCK permissions + the new BootReceiver.
- MainActivity prompts for battery-optimization exemption on first opt-in
so Doze/App Standby doesn't kill the FG service on phones.
Service stability
- onStartCommand now flips isRunning only after startForeground succeeds
(was stuck=true forever if the FG transition threw) and resets on
exception. Returns START_REDELIVER_INTENT for root mode so the OS can
restart the service with the original intent (no consent token to
invalidate); MediaProjection mode keeps START_NOT_STICKY.
- Watchdog coroutine monitors RootScreenrecord.framesDelivered. Respawns
the pipeline on stall (reusing the existing Python bridge — no server
restart), caps at 3 consecutive restarts before giving up.
- RootScreenrecord.framesDelivered is now an AtomicInteger, exposed as a
public property for the watchdog.
- ScreenCapture takes an onProjectionStopped lambda; when the user taps
the system Cast/Screen-capture stop banner, the whole service is torn
down instead of leaving a stale FG notification.
- MainActivity's two startForegroundService calls switch to
ContextCompat.startForegroundService, clearing pre-existing NewApi lint
errors (minSdk=24 < API 26 native method).
Build
- versionCode derived from git rev-list --count HEAD (or the
ANDROID_VERSION_CODE env var for CI). Was pinned to 1 — sideload
upgrades were silently refusing to install.
- New i18n strings (autostart_label, autostart_unavailable, version_prefix)
in en/ru/zh; version_text now uses the resource instead of string
concat.
TODO.md: new "Android Autostart on Boot" section tracking done/pending
items; real-hardware verification on a Magisk'd TV box is the remaining
checkbox.
SP110E peripherals silently tear down the GATT link ~1s after connect
unless a two-write vendor handshake (01 00 → FFE2, 01 B7 E3 D5 → FFE1)
arrives immediately. Without it the first real write hangs 30s then
reconnect-loops forever. Adds optional BLEProtocol.init_writes executed
on connect, plumbs a per-write char_uuid through both transports, and
fixes the SP110E color/power frames from an incorrect 5 bytes to the
documented 4 bytes.
Windows/WinRT robustness:
- asyncio.wait_for hangs on bleak because WinRT IAsyncOperations refuse
to cancel. _bounded_await() uses asyncio.wait() instead so timeouts
actually return control even when the inner task is uncancellable.
- BleakClient connect by raw MAC string times out when WinRT guesses
address type wrong; switched to pre-scanning with BleakScanner and
passing the resolved BLEDevice, which carries the address type.
- Target-start fetch timeout bumped to 30s with retry disabled so the
UI doesn't abort during the BLE pre-scan + connect + handshake path.
UI:
- Settings modal exposes Protocol Family (IconSelect grid, shared with
add-device via parameterized ensureBleFamilyIconSelect) so users can
fix a wrong family pick without recreating the device. Govee AES key
row toggles on/off with family selection.
Also turns LAN auth back on in default_config.yaml, logs start_processing
requests on entry for easier diagnosis, and captures the full debug trail
in docs/BLE_LED_CONTROLLERS.md for future BLE work.
Refs the mbullington SP110E protocol gist for the handshake bytes.
End-to-end BLE streaming: provider + client + per-protocol wire encoders
with whole-strip averaging, desktop (bleak) and Android (Kotlin BleBridge
via Chaquopy) transports, discovery with protocol-family detection that
auto-fills the UI, throttled not-connected warning + 10 s reconnect
cooldown so a dropped link no longer stalls the pipeline at ~30 s/frame,
and an explicit asyncio.wait_for wrapper around bleak connect() since
the WinRT backend doesn't always honor the timeout kwarg.
Also rewrites server/restart.ps1 to be parameterized (-Port / -Module /
-PythonVersion / timeouts / -Quiet), pick the right interpreter via the
py launcher, pre-flight the target module, poll port readiness on both
shutdown and startup, redirect child stdout/stderr so Start-Process
doesn't hang on inherited Git-Bash handles, and return proper exit codes.
Rolls in concurrent work: Android BLE permissions + launcher icons + ru/zh
resources, Chaquopy-safe value_stream psutil fallback, setup-required
modal, asset-store test coverage, and misc system/config touch-ups.
On rooted TV boxes, spawn `su -c screenrecord ... -` and feed the
H.264 stdout through MediaCodec into an ImageReader, surfacing RGBA
frames via PythonBridge. RootScreenrecordEngine (priority 110) is
picked automatically when root is available; falls back to
MediaProjection when Root.requestGrant() returns false.
Drops the direct pyserial imports from espnow_client/espnow_provider
in favor of open_transport/list_serial_ports/port_exists. The gateway
protocol is write-only, so no read() extension was needed. ESP-NOW
gateways are now reachable via usb:VID:PID URLs on Android.
OutputTarget.fps is a BindableFloat but TargetSnapshot.fps is a plain
int — capture_current_snapshot was stuffing the BindableFloat directly
into the snapshot, causing json.dumps to fail on recapture (500) and
polluting the in-memory cache so subsequent list calls also 500'd with
pydantic validation errors.
Adds end-to-end support for driving USB-connected Adalight / AmbiLED
LED controllers from Android TV boxes. Android's security model blocks
direct USB access from Python, so writes route through a Kotlin
UsbSerialBridge singleton via Chaquopy.
Python side:
- New SerialTransport Protocol (serial_transport.py) with open / write /
flush / close. Desktop uses PySerialTransport (wraps pyserial),
Android uses AndroidSerialTransport (wraps the Kotlin bridge).
- list_serial_ports() factory returns desktop COM ports on desktop,
USB devices on Android — callers don't branch.
- URL scheme extended: existing COM3[:baud] and /dev/ttyUSB0[:baud]
unchanged; new usb:VID:PID[:serial][@baud] for Android (@ is the
baud separator since : is already used between VID and PID).
- AdalightClient and SerialDeviceProvider refactored to go through
the transport — no more direct pyserial imports in hot paths.
- 17 new unit tests cover URL parsing, PySerial transport, factory
selection, platform-branching discovery. Full suite 750 passing.
Kotlin side:
- UsbSerialBridge.kt singleton uses com.hoho.android.usbserial (mik3y)
which ships drivers for CH340, CP2102, FTDI, Prolific, and CDC-ACM
(Arduino). Exposes listDevices, open, write, close via @JvmStatic
for Chaquopy. First open() attempt without permission triggers the
system USB permission dialog; next call succeeds once user grants.
- usb-serial-for-android is distributed via JitPack — added that repo
in settings.gradle.kts and the dependency in app/build.gradle.kts.
- AndroidManifest declares uses-feature android.hardware.usb.host
(required=false so non-USB-host phones still install).
- LedGrabApp.onCreate calls UsbSerialBridge.init(this) so the bridge
resolves the UsbManager without needing an Activity ref.
Verified: ./gradlew compileDebugKotlin succeeds; off-Android import
of android_serial_transport works. Real-hardware smoke test on a
TV box with a CH340/CP2102/FTDI adapter still pending.
ESP-NOW (espnow_client / espnow_provider) still imports pyserial
directly because it needs bidirectional reads — separate refactor
to extend the transport with read() if that path ever needs Android
USB support.
Extends MetricsProvider with thermals() returning a ThermalSnapshot
(battery_percent, battery_temp_c, cpu_temp_c — all optional). Each
provider implements it independently:
- AndroidMetricsProvider reads /sys/class/power_supply/battery/{capacity,
temp} (battery temp is tenths of degC) and walks
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*, filtering by zone type
(cpu/soc/tsens/core) so battery and skin sensors don't dominate the
reading. Rejects nonsense values like INT_MAX from buggy zones.
- PsutilMetricsProvider uses sensors_battery() and
sensors_temperatures() when present (Linux+laptops); no-ops on
Windows/macOS where psutil doesn't expose them.
- NullMetricsProvider returns the empty snapshot.
PerformanceResponse gains battery_percent / battery_temp_c / cpu_temp_c.
The metrics-history ring buffer also carries cpu_temp / battery_pct /
battery_temp per sample so the dashboard can graph them over time.
Frontend dashboard (perf-charts.ts) gets a new Temperature chart card,
hidden by default and revealed only after seed/poll confirms the
backend reports cpu_temp_c. Battery temperature shows inline as a
secondary badge. The GPU card now also hides entirely when the backend
reports gpu=null instead of showing an "unavailable" placeholder.
HOST_ONLY_KEYS prevents the System/App/Both toggle from flipping a
non-existent app dataset for temp.
Tests: 6 new for thermals (battery tenths-of-degC parsing, CPU zone
filtering, fallback when sensors absent, INT_MAX rejection); 18 metrics
tests total; full suite 733 passing.
Moves direct psutil.* calls behind a MetricsProvider Protocol so the
codebase no longer needs ad-hoc `if psutil is not None` guards at every
call site. Each provider lives in its own module under
utils/metrics/: PsutilMetricsProvider for desktop, NullMetricsProvider
as a zeroed fallback, AndroidMetricsProvider that reads /proc/stat,
/proc/meminfo, /proc/self/stat, and /proc/self/status directly (psutil
isn't available under Chaquopy). The Android provider tracks the
previous CPU sample so cpu_percent() returns delta-based percentages
matching psutil's interval=None semantics, and degrades to zeros when
any /proc file is unreadable instead of crashing the dashboard.
Factory get_metrics_provider() in utils/metrics/__init__.py picks
Android > psutil > Null. api/routes/system.py and
core/processing/metrics_history.py now go through the factory; psutil
import is confined to one place. 12 new unit tests cover paren-in-comm
parsing of /proc/self/stat, delta CPU%, missing-file resilience, and
factory selection order. Full suite: 727 passing.
Silences browser accessibility warnings on the HA token, MQTT username,
and MQTT password fields. Uses new-password for the secret inputs to
discourage Chrome's site-password autofill from leaking into broker /
HA-token configuration.
Adds .gitea/workflows/build-android.yml — Linux runner installs JDK 17,
Python 3.11, Android SDK/NDK, symlinks server/src/ledgrab into the
Chaquopy python source dir, and runs assembleDebug on master pushes /
assembleRelease on v* tags. APK is uploaded as an artifact and attached
to the Gitea release on tag push. Conditional signing config in
build.gradle.kts reads keystore from env vars (CI secrets) and falls
back to debug signing locally. Gradle wrapper (gradlew/gradlew.bat/
gradle-wrapper.jar) committed so CI can drive the build.
Rebuilds pydantic-core wheels for arm64-v8a and x86_64 — both were
missing libpython3.11.so in NEEDED, which would have crashed at import
on real devices. build-pydantic-core.sh rewritten as a multi-ABI builder:
selects targets via args, sets RUSTFLAGS=-C link-arg=-Wl,--no-as-needed
-C link-arg=-lpython3.11 to force the symbol-resolution dependency,
uses the per-ABI sysconfigdata + libpython staged in
android/.build-cache/, prefers `py -3.11` on Windows (Git Bash's
python3.11 is an MSStore stub), uses the .cmd clang wrapper on Windows
(fixes os error 193), and verifies NEEDED via llvm-readelf after each
build. abiFilters restored to the full triple in build.gradle.kts;
multi-ABI debug APK builds cleanly (~99 MB).
Adds a native Android TV application that runs the full LedGrab Python
server in-process via Chaquopy. Captures the TV box screen using the
MediaProjection API and exposes the existing web UI on the device's
local network — users configure via phone/tablet browser.
Android (new /android/ module):
- Kotlin shell: MainActivity, CaptureService (foreground service),
ScreenCapture (MediaProjection + ImageReader), PythonBridge (Chaquopy).
- Polished Leanback-themed UI with QR code for easy web UI access.
- AGP 8.9 + Chaquopy 17 + Gradle 8.11 (avoids the AGP 8.7 thread-lock bug).
- Pre-built pydantic-core wheels for arm64-v8a, x86_64, x86 cross-compiled
with maturin + Android NDK, linked against Chaquopy's libpython3.11.so.
Python server platform guards:
- New utils/platform.py with is_android()/is_windows()/is_linux() helpers.
- Guard every top-level import of desktop-only packages (mss, psutil,
sounddevice, pyserial, PyAudioWPatch, etc.) with try/except ImportError.
- Android-incompatible calls gated with None-checks so the server runs on
reduced capabilities on Android (no CPU/RAM metrics, no mss displays).
- utils/image_codec.py gains a Pillow fallback for resize + JPEG encode
when cv2 is unavailable; all internal cv2.resize callers migrated.
- New android_entry.py start_server/stop_server invoked from Kotlin.
- get_displays API falls back to best available engine when mss fails.
New capture engines:
- MediaProjectionEngine: receives RGBA frames pushed from Kotlin through
a thread-safe queue; caches last frame for static-screen previews.
- ScrcpyClientEngine: optional H.264 streaming via scrcpy-client library
(priority 10, overrides the ADB-screencap engine when installed).
Frontend:
- Tab loaders previously required an apiKey; now correctly treat
"auth disabled" as authenticated (Android has no auth by default).
- Re-trigger the active tab's loader after loadServerInfo resolves
authRequired, since initTabs runs earlier.
- Add i18n keys for the demo / mediaprojection / scrcpy_client engines.
Docs:
- TODO.md: follow-ups for multi-ABI wheel rebuilds, CI pipeline, USB
serial LED controllers, root-only capture, perf metrics abstraction.
- CLAUDE.md: Android dependency sync policy (pip --exclude doesn't exist).

Declutters the repo root by consolidating build-common.sh,
build-dist.sh, build-dist-windows.sh, build-dist.ps1, and installer.nsi
into build/. Updates all path references in CI workflows, NSIS installer,
and documentation.
Pattern templates route existed but was never wired into the router,
dependencies, or database table allowlist — causing 404 on graph tab load.
Graph toolbar now collapses secondary actions into a "more" overflow menu
on viewports narrower than 700px. Primary controls (fit, zoom, add) stay
visible; search, filter, panels, undo/redo, relayout, fullscreen, and
help move into the dropdown.
Use stable placeholder values in card HTML for volatile metrics (fps,
uptime, HA status, entity swatches) so CardSection.reconcile() skips
unchanged cards. Actual values are patched in-place via
patchHALightTargetMetrics() — same pattern LED target cards already use.
After _populateWeatherSourceDropdown() and _populateProcessedSelectors()
create new EntitySelect instances, the subsequent .value = assignment on
the native <select> doesn't trigger _syncTrigger(), so the trigger
button still shows "—". Call .refresh() after setting the value.
Allow composite sources to reference other composite/mapped sources as
layers. Adds cycle detection (via transitive dependency graph walk),
depth limiting (MAX_COMPOSITE_DEPTH=4), and a runtime safety net in the
stream manager. Frontend layer dropdown now shows all source types
except the source being edited.
17 new tests covering cycles, depth limits, and valid nesting — all
715 tests passing.
Introduces a new "group" device type that aggregates multiple physical
(or nested group) devices into one virtual device. Supports two modes:
- Sequence: LEDs concatenated end-to-end (led_count = sum of children)
- Independent: full pixel array resampled to each child independently
Includes cycle detection (DFS) to prevent circular group references,
delete protection for devices referenced by groups, recursive LED count
resolution for nested groups, and reorder controls (move up/down) for
child devices in the UI.
Backend: Device model, API schemas, GroupLEDClient, GroupDeviceProvider,
route validation, processing pipeline integration.
Frontend: type picker, child device picker with reorder, mode selector,
i18n (en/ru/zh), layers icon, CSS for group child rows.
Tests: 20 unit tests for cycle detection, LED count resolution, and
GroupLEDClient (sequence slicing, independent resampling, cleanup).
The Windows installer was only shipping mss as a screen-capture
backend, so EngineRegistry.get_available_engines() reported just
['mss', 'camera', 'demo'] on installed builds. Picture sources
configured to use bettercam/dxcam/wgc were rejected at the
test/ws handshake with HTTP 403 (close-before-accept on
"Engine '<x>' not available").
Add the three Windows screen-capture wheels to WIN_DEPS so the
installer build matches a 'pip install -e .' dev environment.
Embedded Python ships with tcl8.6/ and tk8.6/ next to python.exe, but
Tcl's auto-detection searches <exe>/../lib/tcl8.6 — a path that doesn't
exist in our layout. Without these env vars, tkinter.Tk() raises
"Can't find a usable init.tcl", breaking the screen overlay (and any
other tk-based UI) on installed builds.
The packaged embedded Python distribution does not ship the tcl/tk
runtime, so tkinter.messagebox.askyesno crashed with 'Can't find a
usable init.tcl' when the user clicked Shutdown or Restart in the
tray menu. Use ctypes + user32.MessageBoxW instead — no tcl/tk,
no extra dependencies.
Three separate bugs in the VBS launcher wedged together:
1. The previous fix added a UTF-8 em-dash in a comment. wscript.exe
on Windows refused to execute the file with "Execution of the
Windows Script Host failed. (Not enough memory resources are
available to complete this operation.)" — a misleading error that
actually means "I could not parse this file as ANSI VBScript".
Fix: keep the file pure ASCII, convert to CRLF.
2. The launcher was invoking pythonw.exe. WshShell.Run spawning
pythonw.exe inside the wscript host exited immediately (no process,
no log). python.exe with WindowStyle=0 works reliably and matches
the pattern used by the Media Server sibling app's VBS launcher,
which has been running on this machine without issue.
3. The env vars (PYTHONPATH, WLED_CONFIG_PATH) must be set before the
child process spawns, otherwise config.py falls back to the CWD
default path that does not exist at install time.
The VBS launcher (used by Start Menu, desktop, and autostart shortcuts
created by the NSIS installer) ran pythonw.exe without setting any env
vars. LedGrab.bat sets PYTHONPATH and WLED_CONFIG_PATH; the VBS did not.
With CWD set to the install root, config.py fell through to its default
lookup (./config/default_config.yaml), which does not exist there — the
real file is at app/config/default_config.yaml. The server silently ran
with built-in defaults on every shortcut launch: no devices, wrong data
dir, nothing persisted where the user expected.
The fix uses WshShell.Environment("Process") to set env vars on the
current VBS process, which child processes spawned via .Run inherit.
Kept CurrentDirectory = appRoot to preserve prior behavior for anyone
depending on CWD-relative paths inside the app.
The only user of 'packaging' was version_check.py — two small functions
(normalize_version, is_newer) that just need to parse "1.2.3-alpha.1"
and compare PEP 440-style versions. That's well within stdlib reach.
- Inline a NamedTuple-based Version with kind/pre_num ordering
(dev < alpha < beta < rc < release), same regex-normalized format
- Define a local InvalidVersion exception
- Remove packaging>=23.0 from pyproject.toml dependencies
Why now: the Windows cross-build uses a hard-coded DEPS array in
build-dist-windows.sh, which was never updated when 'packaging' was
added on March 25. Result: importable from pip-installed dev envs,
missing from the portable installer — tray icon appeared but uvicorn
died with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'packaging'.
Removing the dep entirely is cleaner than adding one more hard-coded
entry to the Windows DEPS list. Tests (678 passing) and a manual test
matrix covering dev/alpha/beta/rc/release ordering all pass.
The 'cmd <<EOF || { ... }' pattern confuses bash's parser — the closing
brace of the inline error block collides with the function's closing
brace. Rewrote to capture the python script into a local var via
$(cat <<EOF), then run it with -c and a plain 'if !' guard.
- compile_and_strip_sources: stop deleting .py files after compileall.
OpenCV's loader does literal file I/O on cv2/config.py (not a Python
import), so stripping it breaks `import cv2` with "missing
configuration file: ['config.py']". Other packages may do similar
file-based introspection tricks — the ~30% size win isn't worth
playing whack-a-mole with broken installers. We already hit this
with numpy.linalg and zeroconf._services; enough incidents.
- smoke_test_imports: only assert importability for modules whose
top-level dir actually exists in site-packages. Pillow for example
is a Windows-only dep, and was failing the Linux build spuriously.
Rewrote as a heredoc for readability.
- build-common.sh: remove zeroconf/_services from the strip list.
zeroconf's compiled Cython _listener.pyd imports from _services
internally, so stripping it broke `import zeroconf` at runtime with
ModuleNotFoundError — same class of bug as the numpy.linalg strip.
- build-common.sh: add smoke_test_imports() that imports every top-level
dependency against the stripped site-packages. Catches "we stripped
something that was actually needed" regressions at build time instead
of on a user's machine after install.
- build-dist.sh: wire smoke test into the Linux flow (runs real imports).
- build-dist-windows.sh: cross-build can't load win_amd64 .pyd files with
the host python, so instead verify that the known-required submodule
dirs (numpy.linalg/lib/matrixlib/ma, zeroconf._services) exist after
cleanup. Fails loud if any future strip-rule removes them.
numpy's own __init__.py imports lib and matrixlib (which in turn imports
numpy.linalg via defmatrix.py). Removing any of these submodules to save
dist size makes `import numpy` raise ModuleNotFoundError on the target,
which cascades into every wled_controller import.
Symptom: v0.0.0.dev0 Windows installer showed a tray icon but uvicorn
died silently in its background thread and port 8080 never listened —
browser got ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
Keep stripping: polynomial, distutils, f2py, typing, _pyinstaller.
These are genuinely unused by numpy's own import chain.
- build-common.sh: detect_version() normalizes non-PEP440 labels (e.g. 'dev',
'nightly') to 0.0.0.dev0 so stamping pyproject.toml doesn't break pip install.
- build-common.sh: split .py deletion out of cleanup_site_packages into a new
compile_and_strip_sources() that runs 'compileall -b' FIRST, then removes
sources. compileall now fails loud instead of silently no-op'ing.
- build-dist.sh: add missing compile_and_strip_sources call on Linux site-packages
(previous tarballs shipped empty packages with no .py and no .pyc).
- build-dist-windows.sh: reorder so compile_and_strip_sources runs right after
cleanup_site_packages, not after .py files have already been deleted.
- installer.nsi: RMDir /r payload dirs (python/, app/, scripts/) and delete
LedGrab.bat at the top of SecCore before File /r. NSIS File /r MERGES into
existing dirs, so upgrades left half-old/half-new state that surfaced as
'version mismatch' or duplicate-package ImportErrors. data/ and logs/ remain
untouched to preserve user config.
Add 4 new audio visualization modes powered by MusicAnalyzer:
- pulse_on_beat: BPM-synced pulsing with smooth beat phase
- energy_gradient: bass/mid/treble mapped to scrolling gradient
- spectrum_bands: three VU zones for frequency bands
- strobe_on_drop: state-driven strobe on detected musical drops
MusicAnalyzer provides BPM estimation (median IBI), beat phase tracking,
asymmetric energy envelope, 3-band frequency splitting, and drop
detection state machine (idle/buildup/drop/recovery).
Add auto_gain audio filter for automatic level normalization via rolling
peak tracking with configurable target level and response time.
Deprecate auto_gain on Audio Value Source (use the filter instead).
Weather sources cache was not fetched during streams tab load, so the
card renderer could not resolve weather source names. Also widened
lat/lon inputs from 80px to 100px to fit longer coordinates.
Mathematical wave generator that produces per-LED colors from
configurable waveform layers (sine, triangle, sawtooth, square) with
superposition, mapped through a gradient palette. Supports sync clocks,
bindable speed, and up to 8 wave layers.
