Plugin not shown

[hirnschmalz]

I installed StreamController and during the onboarding I installed this plugin. Unfortunately I'm unable to find an action to control the Elgato light. I already tried to uninstall / reinstall the plugin. I also restartet the StreamController

[cozybuild]

What version of the StreamController are you using and is it the Flatpak version?

[hirnschmalz]

@cozybuild I'm using the latest Flatpak version (1.5.0-beta.7) on Arch Linux

[ImDevinC]

@hirnschmalz this usually means the backend failed to load. The logs for StreamController would provide more insght

[hirnschmalz]

@ImDevinC this is what my log says during startup of StreamController

@cozybuild while trying to re-install the plugin I found the following line in the log

2025-02-05 12:44:49.416 | ERROR    | src.backend.PluginManager.PluginManager:init_plugins:71 - Error initializing plugin <class 'plugins.com_memclash_elgatokeylight.main.PluginTemplate'>: [Errno -2] Der Name oder der Dienst ist nicht bekannt. Skipping...

I tried to

• quit StreamController
• remove the plugin manually via rm -rf ~/.var/app/com.core447.StreamController/data/plugins/com_memclash_elgatokeylight
• start StreamController
• install the plugin via the store

The result was the same.

[hirnschmalz]

After cloning the plugin from GitHub I can tell you that

• the branch multi-light-support has the same problem
• the tag 0.2.1 does work (meaning I see the new actions, but trying to changing the brightness does not work).

[ImDevinC]

@hirnschmalz can you upload the entire log instead of just a snippet please? Due to the async nature of how plugins load, the error isn't guaranteed to be at the top

[hirnschmalz]

@ImDevinC I'm AFK at the moment, I'll post later, but as you can see in my later post, the following log entry looks like the relevant one

2025-02-05 12:44:49.416 | ERROR    | src.backend.PluginManager.PluginManager:init_plugins:71 - Error initializing plugin <class 'plugins.com_memclash_elgatokeylight.main.PluginTemplate'>: [Errno -2] Der Name oder der Dienst ist nicht bekannt. Skipping...

[ImDevinC]

Oh yeah, that would cause the issue. This sounds like the IP address you supplied is incorrect, and it's failing to load. You should be able to delete the file at ~/.var/app/com.core447.StreamController/data/settings/plugins/StreamControllerElgatoKeylight/settings.json and it should let the plugin reload.

[hirnschmalz]

@ImDevinC ok, I'm back. What I've done

• stop StreamController
• removed the plugin in the file system
• removed the settings in the file system
• removed the log file
• started StreamController
• installed the plugin from the store
• checked if the plugin actions are now available (no they are not)
• closed StreamController

This is the full log

[cozybuild]

Can you run a ls -laR ~/.var/app/com.core447.StreamController/data/plugins/com_memclash_elgatokeylight to list all the files in the installed plugin folder and paste this here?

This line from your log looks very strange to me 2025-02-05 18:08:03.371 | ERROR | src.backend.PluginManager.PluginManager:init_plugins:71 - Error initializing plugin <class 'plugins.com_memclash_elgatokeylight.main.PluginTemplate'>: [Errno -2]

Looks valid to me. Normally you get an [Errno -2] when a file is not found. If you have time, can you try backing up your entire StreamController folder and set it up from scratch for testing

Stop the StreamController completely.

Run
mv ~/.var/app/com.core447.StreamController ~/StreamControllerBackup

and start the StreamController. The setup wizard should appear where you can select the plugin to test.

After testing, close StreamController again and restore the backup dir

rm -rf ~/.var/app/com.core447.StreamController && mv ~/StreamControllerBackup ~/.var/app/com.core447.StreamController

btw, edit your previous log line 50 to hide your user :)

@cozybuild I

• stopped StreamController
• removed ~/.var/app/com.core447.StreamController
• started StreamController (setup wizard was shown)
• did not install any plugins
• finished the wizard
• installed the Keylight plugin via the store

Same error message in the log.

Thx for the hint about the username - is changed ;)

Is there anything else I can do to help solving this issue?
