On Windows, you must apply qt-patches/0003-Always-enable-viewport-stuff.patch for correct window scaling. Applying the patches in qt-patches/qt-5.6-alpha/ fixes some stability issues.
On OSX, you should apply qt-patches/0002-qtbase-Don-t-show-the-menu-bar-at-all-in-lion-style-fullscr.patch to improve the user experience in fullscreen.
You can try to use Qt 5.5, but then you also need to apply the following patches: qt-patches/0001-qtwebengine-Add-a-backgroundColor-property.patch qt-patches/0004-qtwebengine-transparency-window-creation.patch Without them, video playback will not work.

Get dependencies:

scripts/fetch-binaries.py -p darwin-x86_64

If you're happy just building from the command line then run CMake for the ninja build tool:

mkdir build ; cd build
cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DQTROOT=/path/to/qt -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output ..

Build (ninja):

ninja

Make a distributable package:

ninja install (be patient, it's slow)

Or if you prefer working in Xcode, run CMake for the xcode build):

mkdir build ; cd build
cmake -GXcode -DQTROOT=/path/to/qt ..

Debugging Web Client

You can run a locally hosted development version of the web app within the Konvergo application. If the main app window is open you can also run Chrome side by side to debug.

Run the grunt server:konvergo from the web-client submodule. This will run a dev version of the web client
Update the starturl in ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Player/Plex Media Player.conf to point to http://localhost:3333/app/dev-konvergo.html
Run the Plex Media Player.app
Tail the ~/Library/Logs/Plex Media Player/Plex Media Player.log, optionally grepped with WebClient to see console.logs
Open Chrome and point to http://localhost:3333/app/dev-konvergo.html. This should open a Qt channel to the main Plex Media Player.app and function as normal - but with the ability to add breakpoints and inspect code
