Connected Services

Connected Services

The Connected Services dialog is where you see what Zegplayer detected on your machine, switch the active note-making agent, point it at a specific model or binary, and turn individual services on or off.

Tabs

Services are grouped into five tabs (src/renderer/services-model.ts → SERVICE_TABS):

Tab	Services
Speech	whisper (local transcription)
Agents	codex, claude, opencode (AI CLIs)
Local AI	lmstudio, ollama (local HTTP model servers)
Export	obsidian, logseq
Workflow	auto-notes, MCP — always-on, no enable/disable

Switching tabs keeps the dialog open. (Buttons inside the dialog use type="button" so they never submit the surrounding <form method="dialog">.)

Enable / disable

Every switchable service is default-on: it's enabled unless its id is in the user's disabledServices list. Disabling a service:

• hides it from the active-provider rotation,
• gates transcription / export menus so disabled options don't appear,
• and re-resolves the active provider to the first enabled + installed one if you disable the current one.

Detection states

CLI providers (codex/claude/opencode) are detected by finding the executable and reading --version.

Local HTTP providers (LM Studio, Ollama) have a three-state status (httpProviderState):

State	Meaning	UI
online	Server reachable (:1234 / :11434)	Ready, shows version/model
present	App/CLI found on disk but server not running	"Installed — start the local server"
offline	Not installed at all	Download link

This is why an installed-but-not-launched LM Studio now shows "Server off" instead of a bare "offline".

Overrides

• Whisper binary — point Zegplayer at a specific whisper-cli if auto-detection picks the wrong one (Choose / Reset).
• Model picker — choose which LM Studio / Ollama model to use for note generation.
• Install — for missing tools, an in-app installer (currently macOS/Homebrew; cross-platform tracked in the milestone) or a download link.
