What I'm thinking would be a good addition would be an action option to reload the display of a button. For example, you have a button which outputs the result of some command/script, you could set action_hold to reload and it would re-run that script/command for an updated result.

I'm not familiar with Go, so I'm not even at a point of understanding how this program works as is, but I am planning to try to understand it because this reloadable button idea would be a major improvement in my opinion.

I don't know much about xorg, but it doesn't happen once you touch the background with the mouse (making the background the first "active window" I guess?), i.e. right after a fresh start in my raspi with the default desktop:

Hi this is quite a great project with a fully install file that will be perfect to used that ctrl unit. But i cannot get it to work or the example file is not readed or so.. over a Debian VERSION_CODENAME="bookworm"
Here all the details:

cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-streamdeck.rules

or change by :

and reload by :
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules / sudo udevadm trigger or a reboot.

Over group, the user is the full admin of the system and also member of the group plugdev. Same thing if i do :
usermod -aG plugdev usrxyz

When i check the device i do have this:
ls -l /dev/bus/usb/003/004

I also download your example file and put direct : in /home/userxyz/main.deck
via:
wget https://github.com/muesli/deckmaster/raw/master/decks/main.deck

Thanks for tips or so..

Hi,

I just recently discovered this project and really like it! I am mainly using it for controlling and monitoring, and it'd be great if the following was possible:

[[keys]]
  index = 15
[keys.widget]
  id = "command"
  [keys.widget.config]
    command = "cat /tmp/true_false'"
    font = "regular;bold;italic" # optional
    # if content of `cat /tmp/true_false` is true
    color = "#E06" # optional
    # else if content of `cat /tmp/true_false` is false
    color = "#fefefefe`
    # else
    color = #f0f0f0`
    # layout = "0x0+72x20;0x20+72x52" # optional

So basically, change a button depending on a state condition. One could even take this one step further with output... if it was true, don't display "true", but rather "switch: on" (in color x), and if it was false, display "switch: off" (in color y).

Can this be achieved with the current version of the program and/or will it be possible in later releases?

Thank you in advance for your help :)

The documentation in this repo lists interval as being set alongside the index value, within the keys section. After looking through the code and some testing, I have found out the hard way that the interval value needs to be set within the keys.widget section, alongside the id value.

Example originally based on documentation:

[[keys]]
  index = 0
  interval = 1000
  [keys.widget]
    id = "top"
    [keys.widget.config]
      mode = "cpu"

Correct example:

[[keys]]
  index = 0
  [keys.widget]
    id = "top"
    interval = 1000
    [keys.widget.config]
      mode = "cpu"

Looking in eventLoop function of main.go, there's a check for if a given key is still pressed for a long press action, and widget_recent_window.go seems to (as far as I can tell) utilize that in order to close a window on long press. So is it currently possible to define a hold action (such as hold a defined key while holding key on the deck) or would it be possible to add such a feature?

Edit: I was just being dumb and forgot to save the changes to xx-streamdeck.rules, you can close this

This is a snippet from the output of usb-devices.
That's a stream deck mini, seamingly connecting just fine to my system. Boatswain works fine.

Deckmaster throws Unable to initialize Stream Deck: no Stream Deck devices found

And I don't know neither enough linux nor enough Go to figure out why. However, this does seem like a bug.

I have a new StreamDeck mini with USB ID 0fd9:0090

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0fd9:0090 Elgato Systems GmbH Stream Deck Mini

I've added this to udev rules and reloaded.

I've tried the various packages on Arch and built myself. Also quickly tried on Fedora and running as root, I always get the "no Stream Deck devices found" error.

Could there be some incompatibility with this version (I presume it's more recent)?

Looks fine in lsusb, dmesg etc. Also works as expected in Windows and in Arch in the python streamdeck-ui.

The XGB include breaks if you aren't running XWindows (i.e. running Wayland). There is a uinput go library that works for both Wayland and X11. I think the desktop code also uses the XGB for 'last window' widget, etc, so it may not be a direct swap, but it would be nice if we didn't throw errors if you aren't running XWindows. Maybe at least a toggle to not run that code-path as a config?

I'm trying to trigger a webhook with httpie (curl alternative) like this:

[[keys]]
  index = 13
  [keys.widget]
    id = "button"
    [keys.widget.config]
      icon = "./assets/Nightlife/misc/Screenshot.png"
  [keys.action]
    exec = "https POST home-assistant.service.consul/api/webhook/media"

It works when I run it myself and doesn't when it is triggered by deckmaster.

I'm not sure how to debug it since there is no log. I've tried to execute a script inside of which I've redirected command stdout and stdin to a file, but the file is not created. However if I add exit 1 to the end of the script I will get command failed: exit status 1 meaning it did run the script.

I guess this is something to do with how golang exec module works?

The device must be power-cycled to recover from when Deckmaster exits.

Hey, thanks for the really promising looking project.

Trying to run deckmaster with my stream deck mini nothing is displayed on the buttons of the deck with the latest master branch on my Arch Linux machine.
I don't see any errors in the output of deckmaster and button presses are registered perfectly fine:

➜ ./deckmaster -verbose -deck ~/.config/deckmaster/main.deck
Found device with serial BL36K1B46596 (6 buttons, firmware 3.00.001)
wait for event: BadDrawable {NiceName: Drawable, Sequence: 2, BadValue: 0, MinorOpcode: 2, MajorOpcode: 144}
Loading deck: /home/lnqs/.config/deckmaster/main.deck
Triggering long action for key 1
Triggering short action for key 2

Anyway, the display stays just black.

I set up the udev rules:

➜ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-streamdeck.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0060", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev", SYMLINK+="streamdeck"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="006d", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev", SYMLINK+="streamdeck"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0080", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev", SYMLINK+="streamdeck"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0063", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev", SYMLINK+="streamdeck-mini"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="006c", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev", SYMLINK+="streamdeck-xl"

Access rights should also be fine:

➜ ls -l /dev/streamdeck-mini 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Feb 12 00:34 /dev/streamdeck-mini -> bus/usb/001/002

➜ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/002
crw-rw-rw- 1 root plugdev 189, 1 Feb 12 01:27 /dev/bus/usb/001/002

➜ groups      
vboxusers input wheel lnqs plugdev

My deck config (tried several ones but stuck to this as a minimal example in the end):

➜ cat ~/.config/deckmaster/main.deck
[[keys]]
  index = 0
  [keys.widget]
    id = "button"
    [keys.widget.config]
      label = "My Button"

Any ideas what might be wrong or how to debug it?

Running on Fedora 33 (and 34 beta) the recent window widget is not able to detect the icon of the window which means some recent windows aren't shown.

You can reproduce this with the Spotify app by switching to it and then away.

There is an error message on the console:
Could not find icon for window 113246215.

From a quick look at the code it seems that if there is an error getting the icon you ignore the window, but perhaps you could try to get the window title and insert some text instead?

When I power off the hub that my deckmaster is connected to, deckmaster will crash. Not every crash results in the same error though.

When keeping the hub off for a long time, I got this SERV:

Yet when turning off more quickly I got:

Unable to reset Stream Deck
error: cannot write image page 0 of 4 (3660 image bytes) 1024 bytes: hidapi: unknown failure

Of course I can work can work around by not disconnecting :-)

We currently assume a button size of 72x72 pixels in a few widgets. Make them resolution aware.

I got a streamdeck recently and came across your implementation to control the streamdeck.
As I used it, I felt like the "Background-Image"-Feature (from the official software) is missing, this means that most of the time one has to create and apply these background images by hand per widget in an image editor.

Therefore I implemented this feature myself background.
Besides the new functionality, it cleans up the different widgets which makes the creation of new ones easier.
One downside of this patch though, is the slightly increased memory footprint as well as some computational overhead for the blending of fore- and background.

As seen in the patch this would also require a small change in streamdeck where we would need a new value for each device which describes the distance / padding between the buttons.

Description
At seemingly random times, the deckmaster process begins consuming roughly 20% of my Ryzen 7 3700X. I am currently unable to confirm if this is always the case, but for the most recent occurence, the log through systemd contians these two lines at the end:

XGB: xgb.go:455: A read error is unrecoverable: read unix @->/tmp/.X11-unix/X0: read: connection reset by peer
XGB: xgb.go:455: A read error is unrecoverable: EOF

Although this error seems to be the result of logging out and logging back in, this is the only clue I have. If needed for further info, I can run deckmaster through a normal shell instance to get more complete output. If there are verbosity options available, please inform.

Hi, thank you for this amazing implementation of the stream deck.

I am looking for a way to keep some common buttons (like cpu, memory, weather) present in multiple decks.

Is there any way to keep them in a separate deck file and just include them to whichever other deck I want to reuse them to avoid copy/paste everything? I could not find it in the docs.

Regards.

If I use a colon as time separator, it yield to a minuscule font (see photo).

  index = 0
  [keys.widget]
    id = "button"
    [keys.widget.config]
      label = "Music"
  [keys.action]
    deck = "music.deck"

[[keys]]
  index = 3
  [keys.widget]
    id = "time"
    [keys.widget.config]
      format = "%H:%i;%s"

Spent too long trying to figure this out, but the readme example of a DBus call does not import values at all.

The non-functional example in the readme is

[keys.action]
  [dbus]
    object = "object"
    path = "path"
    method = "method"
    value = "value"

In order to make it work, dbus must be added to the keys.action

[keys.action.dbus]
    object = "object"
    path = "path"
    method = "method"
    value = "value"

I've confirmed this works, at least for session bus calls, on 0.9.0. Will submit a change to readme to clear up confusion

when i rune deckmaster with any provided sample it doesnt load. i get the following errors.

First time running after successfully building I got hit with an error: cannot find font 'Roboto-Regular.ttf' in user or system directories. This is easily fixable by downloading the Roboto font family (eg from Google) and installing it to /usr/share/icons or whatever; however, it doesn't seem like something that should break execution if the font can't be found.

Proposed Solution:

• Probably some sort of try/catch block around the font loading, with a default fallback.

Maybe there already is an option, but I missed it. Would be awesome for debugging and just simple decks.

When placing the device = "sleep" action on the action_hold of a key, it doesn't work as it should. The device will "wake up" as soon as the key is released. I tried modifying github.com/muesli/streamdeck to ignore "wake-up" events that all button release, but this doesn't quite fix the problem. Deckmaster still thinks the button is still held down because it was never aware that the device went to sleep.

There are three solutions that come to my mind.

1. Allow a channel to be passed to streamdeck.Device to receive events such as this so that (in this case) Deckmaster can clear its keystate tracking. Incidentally, adding such a channel may help with the "clear the deck" and "show it again" sleep-related feature that I'm looking for.
2. Send key release events for all pressed keys when the device sleeps. This way, it will appear to Deckmaster that all keys are released when the device sleeps and will track that "normally".
3. Take the key-hold event generation into the streamdeck library somehow. This way, Deckmaster will receive key press and key long-hold events separately and doesn't need to track key timings. However, this makes the streamdeck library more high-level (so perhaps it should be optional somehow).

Which do you prefer, or do you prefer something else?

To allow for an easy integration obs-cli could be used

I noticed that some some of your code can be a bit glitchy... I've not done enough investigation but I see you use the library https://github.com/BurntSushi/xgb which says:

Note that this project is largely unmaintained as I don't have the time to do
or support more development. Please consider using this fork instead:
https://github.com/jezek/xgb

Currently the button brightness stays at whatever level it's set at even when the screens are turned off in power save mode. It would be great if the brightness was turned to the minimum when the screens are turned off (similar to what happens when the computer is put into sleep mode).

I'd be happy to try to implement this functionality if you could give me a few pointers on how you think it could be done.

Seems gifs aren't animated when loaded in - I wouldn't expect this to get actioned but it would be the cream on top for deckmaster if they played expected animations.

README.md states "Go 1.12 or higher is required", but I just tried to build this on 1.13.4 and got build github.com/muesli/deckmaster: cannot load embed: malformed module path "embed": missing dot in first path element error. Upgrading to Go version 1.17.2 resolved this issue.

Proposed solution:

• Just update README.md to reflect higher version number needed.

Hi @muesli,

Let me start by saying a massive thank you for building, and sharing this awesome project! I have a cool Stream Deck setup on me Linux machine thanks to you.

I noticed you (or someone using your name) created an AUR package of deckmaster, that helped me get started, but left a few steps remaining. I decided to automate some of these steps locally, and wanted to share that with you.

I've posted a comment over on the AUR website, with a patch, and I've pushed my work up to GitHub in case you'd prefer that.

What I've added:

• udev rules that will be installed automatically (I replaced the idProduct with the ID of my Stream Deck because I wanted that name - maybe there should be four lines in this file with a name I'm not aware of?)
• [email protected] unit that will watch the symlink path you specify (e.g. systemctl --user enable [email protected])
• [email protected] that will start deckmaster inside ~/.config/deckmaster/, and look for a deck that shares a name with your symlink path from above.

I think I've duplicated some effort as the missing ttf-roboto dependency has been mentioned in the non-git version of the package. Sorry about that!

I'm running this locally now, and it's working spectacularly! Thanks again for sharing your awesome work. 🙇

I'm running swayvm and wayland
Does deckmaster work under wayland?

If yes, I'll continue trying to get things to work with sway on nixOS

If no, suggestions on a Streamdeck program that works with wayland, with more functionality than the very limited boatswain

Thanks for replies

First, thanks for the hint with the --user switch in systemd, I did not know this one before.

But it does not work with my ArchLinux setup. I suspect that the Modified does not trigger fast enough for the user, as the udev rules will create the /dev/streamdeck link at boot time and when the user login happens the file is already in place and no more changes happen that would allow the path unit to trigger the service.

Not Sure if this is already possible with the layout property.
But would it somehow be possible to dynamically set the newline when using the keys.widget.config.command functionality?

For example:

-> playerctl metadata title | tr ' ' '\n'
Soldier
of
Heaven

Currently, the newline gets ignored. And it gets rendered as "Soldier of Heaven" instead of
"Solider
of
Heaven"

I want to designate a button for Time, and another for the Weather, can this be used with conjuction with Streamdeck-UI? https://github.com/streamdeck-linux-gui/streamdeck-linux-gui

Hi and thanks for this project.
I do a fair amount of tech support and it would be helpful to be able to add line breaks in the label property of a key.

I've tried '\n' and the ANSI code already but they didn't work.

Being able to add line breaks allows me to better describe the pasted text (whereas currently, all the text gets smaller to fit on the one line)

Thanks again
