How to install

Download the latest version of the exe from the Releases page and install it, or refer to the "How to build" section below to build it yourself and generate an installer.

How to build

Requirements

• Node.js (Tested on v18.17.1)
• Windows OS (Tested on Windows 11, not sure if it works as expected on MacOS or Linux)

Build

git clone https://github.com/ricmsd/flexplayer.git
cd flexplayer/player
npm install
npm run build
cd ../electron
npm install
npm run forge:make

If the above is successful, the installer will output flexplayer-X.X.X Setup.exe (where X.X.X is the version number) under flexplayer/electron/out. Run this to install.

If you want to try it out without installing it, run npm run forge:start instead of npm run forge:make.

TODO

• Add volume control
• Improve mini player (The thumbnail that is displayed when setting seek or In/Out points)
• D&D of folder
• Application icon replacement
