Have you installed the extension according the step in this page?

I have tried several ways, but I have already found the solution. The instructions are a little messy.

Greetings, thanks for responding so fast.

Can you provide what was your workaround ? I want to develop extension too and have similar issues. The documentations for building extension miss some explanation and have some error.

Hi @MaximeL , sorry for the delay, I've been a little busy.

The steps I have followed are in the documentation https://github.com/rivafarabi/deckboard/wiki/Extensions

Note that the extensions folder is created with the deckboard installation. Located in C: \Users {user-name}\ deckboard

Then in the "extensions" folder, clone the project, you can use it as an example for your future extensions. https://github.com/rivafarabi/deckboard-power-control

Make sure the application is closed, then run it again (it will take a while).

Hope that helps, best regards

Thanks for the reply @BorjaLagarejo.

Basically you tell me to make my extension from a copy of a existing and working one. It's a good workaround but it would be a good thing to improve the documentation of building extension to be able to create one from scratch and for non expert (like me). I use deckboard, I really want to help by writing extension, and I find it also a good way to learn and improve in node and js. That why the workaround doesn't suit me, because more of just wanting it to work, I want to understand how it should work, what is core code, and what is extension code.

I listed some point to improve and raised some question about the documentation in this issue : https://github.com/rivafarabi/deckboard/issues/318

It would be very helpful for me and certainly other if you could answer some question and if @rivafarabi could update the doc according to these points.

Hi i wrote a Amarok Control Extension, like the Multimedia Control. The extension works quite well so far, except for the icons. They are not set automatically.

constructor() { super(); this.name = 'Amarok'; this.platforms = [PLATFORMS.LINUX]; this.inputs = [ { label: 'Amarok', value: "amarok", icon: 'music', color: '#38761D', input: [ { label: "Control", ref: "control", type: INPUT_METHOD.INPUT_SELECT, items: [ { value: "play_pause", label: "Play / Pause", icon: 'play', fontIcon: 'fas', }, { value: "stop", label: "Stop", icon: 'stop', fontIcon: 'fas', }, { value: "next", label: "Next", icon: 'fast-forward', fontIcon: 'fas', }, { value: "previous", label: "Previous", icon: 'fast-backward', fontIcon: 'fas', }, { value: "stop_after_current", label: "Stop after the current Song", icon: 'eject', fontIcon: 'fas', }, { value: "replay", label: "Replay", icon: 'redo', fontIcon: 'fas', }, { value: "toggle_main_window", label: "Toggle Main Window", icon: 'clone', fontIcon: 'fas', }, { value: "mute", label: "Mute", icon: 'mute', fontIcon: 'fas', }, { value: "increase_volume", label: "Increase Volume", icon: 'volume-up', fontIcon: 'fas', }, { icon: 'volume-down', fontIcon: 'fas', value: "decrease_volume", label: "Decrease Volume", }, ] }, ] }, ]; this.initExtension(); }
