The Stem Player Explorer is a multi-platform desktop application written in Python particularly utilizing the PyQT5 library for its user interface that I'm working on for fun 😃 The goal is to be an organized and informative desktop version of the Stem Player website.
With the Stem Player disconnected, power it off. Plug the Stem Player in and while holding the central play/pause button, then power it on. This will allow the Stem Player to be mounted as a readable and writable file system.
From there, the app will detect the Stem Player automatically and load the device contents. If there is more than one Stem Player connected upon application start, select the desired device from the list by serial number (Windows) or mount directory (Linux/MacOS).
This app was developed using Python v3.10.2. Create a virtual environment by using that version of Python, installing the virtualenv pip, and install required packages by running:
# Create a Virtual Environment
python -m venv env
# Start the Virtual Environment
## Windows
.\env\Scripts\activate
## MacOS and Linux
source env/bin/activate
## Linux Only
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev xcb python3-pyqt5 pyqt5-dev pyqt5-dev-tools
export DISPLAY=:0
# Install Python packages
pip install -r requirements.txtThe app can then be run with python main.py
Screenshots come from early development
Upon starting the app, if no Stem Player is found:
If a single device is found, the app will read all albums from the Stem Player:
Upon selecting an album, the contents of the config file will be displayed next to all downloaded songs from said album.
This project was created under the GNU General Public License v3. Why?
