Have you tried it yourself? if u run this while your home folder is unlocked it should work? If not post it as an issue and its possible to add an alternative path for where the client needs to be located.

If that is the case it should apply to the normal lan-play-linux client that you would run in the terminal as well

The issue just relates to how nosuid mounted filesystems work with setcap and similar tools (they ignore setcap). Ubuntu mounts a decrypted home folder (so one that is usually encrypted) as nosuid.

The best way around it is to just store it in a folder not on the nosuid filesystem. /tmp should always do the job but is wiped on boot. Another option is /opt but you can't (and shouldn't change it to be) write to it unless you're root normally.

Tested it and it works great. Really nice GUI too. Proud of you

Sorry to be naive, but what exactly is this for?

Literally a stab in the dark, but for playing online on your own dedicated server maybe?

It's basically a GUI for a LAN program that allows you to play certain games online if your console is banned.

It's still incredibly early days though so (unless you live somewhere close to the US and have a decent internet connection) don't expect revolutionary results. However it will get better overtime.

It also supports Wireless Play (with a kip) so you can play Smash Ultimate online.

Why not make this a homebrew that directly runs on the switch?

bylaws · Dec 11, 2018

It might be cool to add a feature to ping each of the servers and display that as good/decent/bad

because the Switch doesn't run the software needed to do this. The author has already said he isn't going to leanr a different computer language to write it so it works under different software, which is exactly what you're asking them to do by porting it to the Switch native homebrew.

Super!

I hope this whole LAN tools keep on growing, can avoid imagining the day we have a multi system tool running on Switch, phones and computers *-* (with a cool UI

)

Is there any way to see what people are playing instead of just how many are connected to that server?

No, actually i get that info from http://serverurl:serverport/info, for example, http://usplay.secretalgorithm.com:11451/info, to get more info you need to ask the guys of lan-play to make the server program add more info on that page, not me

I have plans for doing that in future updates if i can think how to do it from node, but first i want to make the app less buggy.
____________________________
By the way what do you guys think of an update that included a new button: Configuration menu button!
in that configuration menu you would be able to select the place you have lan-play-win64.exe or lan-play-linux so you can have it wherever you want
Also there is going to be a config to select if when launching lan-play, if you want to launch the terminal whit the interface selection thing, or you want to select the interface directly in this same configuration menu and launch lan-play in the background whitout terminal.
i want to keep the two options because there are downsides to run lan-play in the background like you have to keep the GUI opened for lan-play to not close, and whit the actual solution of opening a terminal, you can close the gui once a server is launched if you want

LightBeam · Dec 12, 2018

Looks like the GUI works great, but I still have the same problem. I can't manage to connect to Internet with my Switch and I don't understand, I made sure all my config was correct, tried both 32 and 64 bits version (got Windows 10) and I have 90DNS. When I set up my IP adress to "Auto" on the Switch, it works as expected, but when I try to configure it myself (so I can use lanplay, I know that with auto settings it will not work) I can't manage to connect to Internet (DNS resolve error thing ...), if anybody got a solution for that, it would be great, until then I'll keep searching

This GUI really is just a custom server list manager, that tells you what servers are connected and how many people are connected and let you launch lan-play whit the servers you have on the list, so as long as you can use lan-play normally you should be able to use it whit the gui, but if you aren't able to use lan-play normally the gui would do nothing.

But i am going to try to help you, to use lan play,
you have to set up your switch ip to: 10.13.XX.YY, XX and YY being any number that you want between 0 and 255, except for 0, 1 and 255 i think, for example "10.13.200.134", your subnet mask on the switch should be 255.255.0.0 and the gateway should be 10.13.37.1, set the dns to the 90DNS ones, and if your switch is not banned launch lan play with fake internet(that would block the switch from connecting to the internet except for playing whit lan-play), if you dont know how, you can use my GUI, there is a option to launch with fake internet or not very easy.

LightBeam · Dec 12, 2018

I already have done all of that, but when I do the connexion test I can't manage to connect to Internet
Am I supposed to connect, or, like you said (if I understood well), it's normal to have the error I have (with DNS resolve) and not connect to Internet while still being able to use lan play ?
Also, can I have some details about what is "fake Internet" ?
(And just to be clear, I made sure I was choosing the right interface number in lan-play)
Thank you for your post and your help

If anyone has OSX and wants to help me to port it to OSX PM me.

Do you really wanna port it for an os that has been profiting from the community while all other groups have been making it free and open source?

That is not my problem, my code has no political agenda, sorry.

It starts blank, you have to add servers, if it become blank after adding servers, probably a bug, im improving it right now and next version would have a lot less bugs and would not be "buggy"

is a thing you put when you run lan-play that prevent the console from connecting to internet, extra security, you should probably go to the switch lan play discord channel and ask for help there: link

UPDATE 12/12/18
A new update has been released version v0.2.0 with a lot of bug fixing, all known bugs had been fixed and now lan-play-GUI should not be considered buggy like it was on v0.0.1
changelog:
-Bug of duplication of servers solved
-bug of undeletable servers solved
-Bug with moving the positions of some servers solved
-Bug with offline servers solved
-All known bugs solved
-There is still a minor visual glitch on windows 10 that when you move the windows a black border appears

excellent work! It's so beautiful!

In the far future, if at all possible, I'd love to be able to check what people in a server are playing.

LightBeam · Dec 13, 2018

Alright, I have tried with my laptop, connecter to the same Wifi and it works
So it seems like I can't connect with my PC who is only connected via Ethernet
Just saying in case someone else got the same problem
It still annoying to have to turn on my laptop just to use that, hope I'll be able to use this on my desktop PC someday

For the moment all i can provide is how much people are connected, but that is because i retrive that information from http://server/info, for example: http://nxlan.duckdns.org:11451/info it says in this moment
{"online":1,"version":"1.0.0-alpha.2"}
from that i obtain the how much clients are connected to the server, from the online, and what version does it have, if you want more information, ask the switch lan play guys to add more information in future versions of the server, if they add more, i add more
