Alternative GUI (remi)

[upgradeQ]

Here is my attempt to route obspython to browser docks:

# install remi with this commad: "python3 -m pip install remi"
import obspython as obs
import threading

import remi.gui as gui
from remi import start, App


class MyApp(App):
    def __init__(self, *args):
        super(MyApp, self).__init__(*args)

    def main(self):
        container = gui.VBox(width=120, height=100)
        self.lbl = gui.Label("Hello world!")
        self.bt = gui.Button("Press me!")

        # setting the listener for the onclick event of the button
        self.bt.onclick.do(self.on_button_pressed)

        # appending a widget to another, the first argument is a string key
        container.append(self.lbl)
        container.append(self.bt)

        # returning the root widget
        return container

    # listener function
    def on_button_pressed(self, widget):
        self.lbl.set_text("Button pressed!")
        self.bt.set_text("Hi!")


def on_load(event):
    if event == obs.OBS_FRONTEND_EVENT_FINISHED_LOADING:
        t = threading.Thread(target=event_loop)
        t.start()


# starts the web server
def script_load(settings):
    obs.obs_frontend_add_event_callback(on_load)


def event_loop():
    start(
        MyApp,
        address="127.0.0.1",
        port=8081,
        multiple_instance=False,
        enable_file_cache=True,
        update_interval=0.1,
        start_browser=False,
    )

To add browser dock go to View -> Docks - Custom Browser Docks... - type name , then 127.0.0.1:8081
This is not yet work on GNU/Linux, because there is not browser docks. However you can test your GUI right now just preload libpython3.<x>, just like this and start OBS Studio via obs or obs-studio:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.6.so obs-studio
