Wow coming from C++/Rust I was about to answer that both are parallelism. I did not knew about python’s GIL. So I suppose this is the preferred way to do concurrency, there is no async/await, and you won’t use Qt “just” for a bit of concurrency. Right ?
We learn a little bit everyday. Thanks!
Yeah, I’d rather register cls play <id, name or path> in streampi or other macro box.
Especially if cls let me add new sounds and configure things easily.
Like I see having multiples “public laughing”, so when starting the sound any can be played. Which provide a bit of variety in the stream. And allow to repeat the sound for a longer effect on the fly without being too repetitive.
I read that global hotkey is not possible in Wayland. Or, at least, not as easily as with XOrg. Did you achived it ? Can you link to where you are doing it in your code please ? I’m curious, especially since its the first time I heard global hotkeys from a terminal program.
I try not to use global hotkeys myself. Do you have another way of controlling the soundboard ? Either from websocket, DBus, launching a command, … I like to use streampi1 (open source streamdeck clone) for streaming and it may use any of this interraction methods. (Websocket may require to write a plugin for yëur program.)
1 Streampi as stopped developpment for now in its v2 snapshots. Still usable. But the dev want to rewrite in C++/Qt for a v3.
Yes I wanted to talk about the Qt Framework. But with that much ways to do concurrency in the language’s core, I suspect you would use this framework for more than just its signal/slots feature. Like if you want their data structures, their network or GUI stack, …
I’m not using Python, but I love to know the quirks of each languages.
