Development

⚠ The repository is usually ahead of the publicly released version - it is 🚧 WIP and may have bugs in it.

How to start:

npm install --legacy-peer-deps to install
npm start to develop
npm run electron to build

Main dependencies in use:

Library	Version	Date	Comment
Angular	v20	Oct 2025
Angular-CLI	v20	Oct 2025
Electron	v42	Jun 2026	(internally uses Node `v24.16.0` and Chromium 148)
Electron Builder	v26	Oct 2025

Node: It may be best to use the same version as Electron uses internally (v24.16.0)
Angular CLI: not required but may be useful: Angular CLI.
Mac: We now have M1 and Intel builds, but you may need to manually update the FFmpeg and FFprobe executables if you're building for a different architecture than you are on.

To help debug a production build of VHA you can use Debugtron

Remote

👩‍🚀 a new feature in VHA is the option for the user to turn on a server after the app starts. This will let the user open a simpler version of the VHA user interface on their phone or tablet (if both PC and device are on the same WiFi) and use it as remote control to play videos 🚀

For details, see instructions.

Thank you

This software would not be possible without the tremendous work by other people:

This software uses libraries from the FFmpeg project under the LGPLv2.1 with binaries from here

Since becoming open source, this software was made better with the awesome contributions by cal2195
