Introduction

Based on angular electron starter seed. https://github.com/maximegris/angular-electron.git

Tv Master is a single page application to watch live tv streems for free. Please fell free to try the current implementation at:

tv.appzar.com.ar

Currently runs with:

  • Angular v6.1.2
  • Electron v2.0.7
  • Electron Builder v20.28.1
  • Firebase backend

It works as a web site, or electron packaged app.

Known issues

The streams are imported into iframes. To improve electron security it shuold be using webviews when building for desktop application.

On a Website there are permission issues with some streams and CORS errors on others. These can be bypassed on a desktop build.

Regarding HTTPS and HTTP. When using a HTTPS protocol for the website there is the mixed content problem with browsers. On Dekstop OS you can bypass this check in the browser. But on mobile this issue cant be bypass so try to use a http protocol for hosting. This issue is caused because some streams are only available by HTTP.

Getting Started

Clone this repository locally :

git clone https://github.com/daniazar/TVMaster.git

Install dependencies with npm :

npm install

There is an issue with yarn and node_modules that are only used in electron on the backend when the application is built by the packager. Please use npm as dependencies manager.

If you want to generate Angular components with Angular-cli , you MUST install @angular/cli in npm global context. Please follow Angular-cli documentation if you had installed a previous version of angular-cli.

npm install -g @angular/cli

To build for development

  • in a terminal window -> npm start

Voila! You can use your Angular + Electron app in a local development environment with hot reload !

The application code is managed by main.ts. In this sample, the app runs with a simple Angular App (http://localhost:4200) and an Electron window. The Angular component contains an example of Electron and NodeJS native lib import. You can desactivate "Developer Tools" by commenting win.webContents.openDevTools(); in main.ts.
