[Feature] Stock Trimui Smart Pro compatibility

[malkavi]

First, thanks for the great work, for the server and the client!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm trying to use the app on my TSP with stock firmware (with PortMaster) but is not compatible. I switched from Python to Python 3 the launch script (the version inside my System/bin folder) and now I have this error:

No controller mappings sh: setterm: not found
current_mode 1280x720
MALI_CreateWindow:0x55a7078c90 done.
SDL_EGL_CreateSurface fail: unable to create an EGL window surface (call to eglCreateWindowSurface failed, reporting an error of EGL_BAD_ALLOC)

RuntimeError: Failed to create window

Describe the solution you'd like
Fix the error to make it compatible if possible.

can you post the content of the latest log file under /logs?

[malkavi]

That error is the full content of the log file.

[gantoine]

That's weird, because the line right above it should be printing the exact SLD error to the log file

        if not window:
            print(f"Failed to create window: {sdl2.SDL_GetError()}")
            raise RuntimeError("Failed to create window")

[malkavi]

Sorry. I reinstalled from PortMaster again and now I have this log:

No controller mappings sh: setterm: not found
current_mode 1280x720
MALI_CreateWindow:0x5573248f70 done.
0 Controller
Failed to fetch latest release info: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:992)>

Fetched 0 platforms
ROMs path: /mnt/SDCARD/Data

Exiting...

Now I can start the app but I can't see any platform nor rom. If I switch to collections I see the collection name but empty.
I switched to connection without SSL, that's the reason of the SSL error. The app can't connect to it, I'm using reverse proxy with let's encrypt.
But still not getting any rom.

[malkavi]

Ok, new info. I will try to summarize my attempts.
The first post/log was following the instructions from the RomM web and downloading from there the app.
The second post/log was downloading the app from Port master directly and using as host the URL retro.xxxxx.com... with SSL (cert verify error) and without(no rom fetched). But I can access using a browser.
And now, using directly my internal IP:Port, the app is trying to fetch roms without doing anything. There is the log.

Strange, it's trying to fetch platforms and collections and returning 404 not found each time. Can you post the value of the HOST env var in your .env file? urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

HOST="http://192.168.1.2:8181/"
I'm using the docker version of RomM.

EDIT:
I have some clues.
I'm trying to test my server from a PC, testing de api.py code.
From my second log, where "ROMs path: /mnt/SDCARD/Data", is not correct, and then the if to found the roms_subfolders can't be true.
Can we check that the PortMaster variable "$CFW_NAME" is "TrimUI" to set the roms folder to "/mnt/SDCARD/Roms"? Or add a new field to the .env file with the roms path?
We also need to add a new folder map or something.

[JeodC]

This is a viable approach, allowing the user to set a custom path to the roms folder in the .env to override defaults. Folder maps can be modified already by editing platform_maps.py or in the .env thanks to #57

[gantoine]

Closing this as the ROMS_STORAGE_PATH env var now exists.
