-## Usage
|
|
|
+## Installation
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+First [install a recent version of Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
-install with pip
|
|
|
+Then install the package with pip:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
pip install lyberry-qt
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
-run
|

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Usage
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Run the app:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
lyberry-qt
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Videos will probably open in your browser by default. To change this go to the settings page (in the Qt version) and change player\_cmd to your video player.
|
|
|
+LyBerry depends on the lbrynet daemon. This is provided by [the official LBRY Desktop application](https://lbry.com/get), so if that is open in the background LyBerry should just work, and will share the logged in accounts.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can instead run the daemon alone; get more info about that here: <https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-sdk#installation>. LyBerry is designed to work with the daemon over the network, so you could leave this running on a homeserver for good uptime seeding content. (Note: Don't expose the lbrynet api to the open Internet!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
-You can also change settings in conf.json in your relevant config directory. (eg on linux edit ~/.config/lyberry/conf.json)
|
|
|
+Videos will try to open in [mpv](https://mpv.io) by default. This option can be changed with the `player_cmd` setting, found on the settings page. On windows, you will want to change `mpv` to `mpv.exe`. You could also use VLC, or another video player if you wish.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can also change settings in conf.toml in your relevant config directory. (eg on linux edit ~/.config/lyberry/conf.toml)
|
|
|
|
|
|
If some thumbnails are not showing you may need to install a Qt image format library on your system. Search for this using your package manager.
