streamdeck-linux-gui A Linux compatible UI for the Elgato Stream Deck.

This project is a fork and drop-in replacement for streamdeck_ui, which is no longer maintained. This still keeps the original code and intends to pick up where the original left off.

All credit to the orignal authors, and the many contributors to the project.

• Linux Compatible: Enables usage of Stream Deck devices (Original, MK2, Mini and XL) on Linux.
• Multi-device: Enables connecting and configuring multiple Stream Decks on one computer.
• Brightness Control: Supports controlling the brightness from both the configuration UI and buttons on the device itself.
• Configurable Button Display: Icons + Text, Icon Only, and Text Only configurable per button on the Stream Deck.
• Multi-Action Support: Run commands, write text and press hotkey combinations at the press of a single button on your Stream Deck.
• Button Pages: streamdeck_ui supports multiple pages of buttons and dynamically setting up buttons to switch between those pages.
• Auto Reconnect: Automatically and gracefully reconnects, in the case the device is unplugged and replugged in.
• Import/Export: Supports saving and restoring Stream Deck configuration.
• Drag/Drop: Move buttons by simply drag and drop.
• Drag/Drop Image: Configure a button image by dragging it from your file manager onto the button.
• Auto Dim: Configure the Stream Deck to automatically dim the display after a period of time. A button press wakes it up again.
• Animated icons: Use an animated gif to liven things up a bit.
• Runs under systemd: Run automatically in the background as a systemd --user service.
• Stream Deck Pedal: Supports actions when pressing pedals.

Communication with the Stream Deck is powered by the Python Elgato Stream Deck Library.

• pip package is not yet available for the current state of the project. Please install from source, currently trying to find a better way to provide the package.
• Streamdeck uses pynput for simulating Key Presses but it lacks proper support for Wayland. Generally your results will be good when using X (Ubuntu/Linux Mint). This thread may be useful.
• Key Press or Write Text does not work on Fedora (outside of the streamdeck itself), which is not particularly useful. However, still do a lot with the Command feature.
• Some users have reported that the Stream Deck device does not work on all on specific USB ports, as it draws quite a bit of power and/or has strict bandwidth requirements. Try a different port.
• If you are executing a shell script from the Command feature - remember to add the shebang at the top of your file, for the language in question. #!/bin/bash or #!/usr/bin/python3 etc. The streamdeck may appear to lock up if you don't under some distros.
