vidyo.io-connector-electron

Run VidyoConnector web app on Windows or macOS PC using Electron.

Follow these instructions to download corresponding developer package(s) from vidyo.io, install tools for building and running electron with add-on, then run the vidyo.io-connector-electron app.

Prerequisites

Create a directory for the Electron sample (e.g. electronsample). Download the Vidyo Client SDK for macOS and/or Windows. We need the libraries and include files from these packages to build Electron add-on. Extract the content of the package(s) into the new directory.

macOS SDK: https://static.vidyo.io/latest/package/VidyoClient-OSXSDK.zip
Windows SDK (Visual Studio 2017): https://static.vidyo.io/latest/package/VidyoClient-WinVS2017SDK.zip

$ ls -l electronsample

drwxr-xr-x@ 7 ...   238 Jul 27 17:31 VidyoClient-WinVS2017SDK

Installing

Download sample electron add-on source code to the same directory.

Install electron and node-gyp:

npm install [email protected]
npm install -g node-gyp

Build and Run

Set environment variables

For Mac:

export VIDYO_CLIENT_INCL_DIR=$PWD/VidyoClient-OSXSDK/include
export VIDYO_CLIENT_LIB_DIR=$PWD/VidyoClient-OSXSDK/lib/macos

For Windows:

set VIDYO_CLIENT_INCL_DIR=%cd%\VidyoClient-WinVS2017SDK\include
set VIDYO_CLIENT_LIB_DIR=%cd%\VidyoClient-WinVS2017SDK\lib\windows\x64\Release

Build Vidyo Client Electron add-on

For Mac:

node-gyp rebuild --target=2.0.4 --arch=x64 --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/electron

For Windows:

node-gyp rebuild --target=2.0.4 --arch=x64 --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/electron -msvs_version=2017

Run the App

npm start

Note

Replace 2.0.4 with desired electron version number as needed.

Known Issues

Windows 10 update 1709 introduced an issue which prevents video from rendering properly. The workaround is to upgrade to version 1.8.3 or later of Electron and to disable hardware acceleration, which can be done as follows in main.js:

app.disableHardwareAcceleration();
