Windows compatible?

[Darthagnon]

Was just wondering if this awesome project was Windows-compatible? GoLang stuff usually is, but I saw references to GTK, which is a little more complicated on Windows.

Yup, it is! I made sure that it spawns MPV etc. correctly, and tested it on Windows 11. There used to be a complete CI/CD setup I've set up for Windows, but I decided to drop it before release since I can't really test it properly: https://github.com/pojntfx/multiplex/blob/b2e0f2eb5ae8cd97493c7075fcb793da8fb93f46/Hydrunfile#L54-L99

I'm def. open to building it on Windows again, but for that to be viable I would need to be able to build and test the Windows build from Linux for it to be maintainable.

Or if possible sharing a webapp? Sharing a link with people would be an even lower barrier for entry, using WebRTC just to watch so only one person needs to have Linux.

While the web sharing idea would be optimal, implementing it is a bit challenging due to browser limitations and legal concerns. See: https://github.com/pojntfx/multiplex/issues/5

@pojntfx, can you publish windows build on releases tab please?

I'm actively looking into it now that I got WINE on MSYS2 to work again, but I'm still not sure if I can genuinely support the platform considering that I don't really have a machine to do the testing for it on. See https://github.com/pojntfx/multiplex/issues/9#issuecomment-1712958270

you can just publish it and community will test it :)

[pojntfx]

That could be a way of doing it, but publishing a release without being able to test it on my end will eventually lead to a lot of issues that I can't really account for.
