Hello everyone, I'd like to share with you Lan Play GUI, a graphical interface for lan-play.

Lan Play GUI lets you manage your own list of servers: add, delete, edit, and refresh them, as well as being able to see which are online, and how many players there are. On top of this, you're able to see the server version, and of course launch it with lan-play without having to type out a command.

It is currently available for Win32, Win64, Linux, raspberry PI and Mac OSX.

@Red1Reaper

Found a bug:

The folder where the lan-play.exe is located cant contain a space in the file directory.

Are you aware of it?

yes i am aware and next version should have it solved, thanks for the bug report

I have a suggestion, it would be awesome if the program could be minimized to the system tray on windows so it could be left to run in the background.

That is a good idea, i will consider it, but i don't promise it.

Hey, tried this on raspberry/raspian but I can't open the appimage. It just does nothing. Any idea?

I followed this guide, and even watched a youtube video that followed the exact same steps...

But when I click on "Connect to Server", the CMD window does not show up...

I can use Lan-Play without the GUI, and the CMD opens perfectly fine, and I can play with other people, but ONCE I put the Lan-Play-win64.exe into the Lan-Play-GUI folder, and launch Lan-Play-GUI, the CMD window does not show up when I click "Connect to Server".

Any ideas?

I tried moving the folder to the C: drive. I tried putting the folder on my desktop. I tried running both exes as admin. I tried running neither of them as admin.

Same for me. I think I got it working after making sure the directories doesn't have any folders with spaces in their names.

I did a bunch of troubleshooting and while I followed all the steps, I was not able to get it working on my home network, only a mobile hotspot. Therefore, I know that I have to change something with my router to make it work. The thing is, winpcap works just fine on my home network, but the Switch just doesn't connect. ldn_mitm enabled as well on 9.2, 10.5 atmosphere.

Maybe it's blocked by a firewall. You can try unblocking.

Anyway you could upload it here as I have Hughes net internet and it doesnt let me download anything from github because it refuses to connect?

 

[InstructoRean]

Well done OP, it works like a charm.

@Red1Reaper

Found a bug:

The folder where the lan-play.exe is located cant contain a space in the file directory.

Are you aware of it?

Works:
C:\lan-play

Works not:
C:\lan play

When you have a space in the directory it will not find the exe and is not opening the cmd window after you connect to a server.

Took me 2 hours to find that out lol but now it works.

Thank you for finding this bug! I've been up all night trying to figure out why the cmd window wouldn't open and come to find out it was this!! Thank you so much, I hope this application gets an update soon to fix it.

Anyway, I am using lan-play-GUI mac Version 1.1.0 and I still get the error "Download LAN Play v0.0.7 or higher" Even tho I have downloaded lan-play-macos v0.2.3 and Put it in the right folder location...
Any help?
