Linux support

[oneiricbotcelot]

Hi! First of all: Thanks for providing the code and the great idea.

Secondly, is there any chance for Linux support?

[patrikzudel]

I will optimize the volume controlling code so it can easily be ported to Linux, atm its scrappy as I was just hurrying finishing it yesterday so I could use it today. I will update you on the progress.

Added Linux support to the TBA features.

[oneiricbotcelot]

Thank you for the fast reponse, I will wait patiently. Good luck in your next officials!

Any news on this feature?

[GreatBigWhiteWorld]

Any update? Seriously need this.

[patrikzudel]

I don't use Linux for gaming at the moment so do to my time constraints this is not my priority atm.
I think implementing Linux support should be straight forward though, as this is an open project anyone can give it a try! In case someone does it I'll check it out and approve their pull request!

I have a fork made of this that works at least with linux mint, might need tweaking for other distros and might contain bad habits. Works with running main.py from terminal, no compiled binaries etch done.

I tried to install it on Arch, but it doesn't seem to work. I saw your requirements.txt with the three python packages. I could install pycaw and comtypes with pip, but I get an error on 'pip install pypiwin32'. The package seems to be faulty.

` File "/tmp/pip-download-2_xa2zmf/pypiwin32_b6ecf34a910543a1884099ba098942f1/setup.py", line 121

Sorry, I haven't modified that file, it is what the original (windows version) needs, I'm not sure if those are needed (I did not install them), and it works for me. Have you tried what happens if you only run the main.py from terminal, is it throwing any errors?

[oneiricbotcelot]

If I start main.py I don't receive any terminal output at all.

[TosiRikhard]

Then it is probably working! Try launching csgo and see if the settings change the volume :)
I did not add any printing to the terminal.

[oneiricbotcelot]

It is sadly not working.

The problem with the python package pypiwin32 is an incompatibility with python 3, the package hasn't been updated in a long time.

Maybe others can provide more information.

[TosiRikhard]

I don't think you need that package installed, there is no script that utilizes anything from it on my version. If it do not work then probably something is not the same on arch as on ubuntu, and the volume control fails because of it.

Nice! Good job and thanks for contributing! When I will have the time I'll try to merge the two versions so there will hopefully be one version that works on both OS's.
