Chuck c35769cefb Fix/checkbox save and dynamic duration (#182)
* fix: Use plugin.modes instead of manifest.json for available modes

- Display controller now checks plugin_instance.modes first before falling back to manifest
- This allows plugins to dynamically provide modes based on enabled leagues
- Fixes issue where disabled leagues (WNBA, NCAAW) appeared in available modes
- Plugins can now control their available modes at runtime based on config

* fix: Handle permission errors when removing plugin directories

- Added _safe_remove_directory() method to handle permission errors gracefully
- Fixes permissions on __pycache__ directories before removal
- Updates uninstall_plugin() and install methods to use safe removal
- Resolves [Errno 13] Permission denied errors during plugin install/uninstall

* refactor: Improve error handling in _safe_remove_directory

- Rename unused 'dirs' variable to '_dirs' to indicate intentional non-use
- Use logger.exception() instead of logger.error() to preserve stack traces
- Add comment explaining 0o777 permissions are acceptable (temporary before deletion)

* fix(install): Fix one-shot-install script reliability issues

- Install git and curl before attempting repository clone
- Add HOME variable validation to prevent path errors
- Improve git branch detection (try current branch, main, then master)
- Add validation for all directory change operations
- Improve hostname command handling in success message
- Fix edge cases for better installation success rate

* fix(install): Fix IP address display in installation completion message

- Replace unreliable pipe-to-while-read loop with direct for loop
- Filter out loopback addresses (127.0.0.1, ::1) from display
- Add proper message when no non-loopback IPs are found
- Fixes blank IP address display issue at end of installation

* fix(install): Prevent unintended merges in one-shot-install git pull logic

- Use git pull --ff-only for current branch to avoid unintended merges
- Use git fetch (not pull) for other branches to check existence without merging
- Only update current branch if fast-forward is possible
- Provide better warnings when branch updates fail but other branches exist
- Prevents risk of merging remote main/master into unrelated working branches

* fix(install): Improve IPv6 address handling in installation scripts

- Filter out IPv6 link-local addresses (fe80:) in addition to loopback
- Properly format IPv6 addresses with brackets in URLs (http://[::1]:5000)
- Filter loopback and link-local addresses when selecting IP for display
- Prevents invalid IPv6 URLs and excludes non-useful addresses
- Fixes: first_time_install.sh and one-shot-install.sh IP display logic

* fix: Fix checkbox-group saving and improve dynamic duration calculation

- Fix checkbox-group widget saving by setting values directly in plugin_config
- Fix element_gap calculation bug in ScrollHelper (was over-calculating width)
- Use actual image width instead of calculated width for scroll calculations
- Add comprehensive INFO-level logging for dynamic duration troubleshooting
- Enhanced scroll completion logging with position and percentage details

This fixes issues where checkbox-group values weren't saving correctly
and improves dynamic duration calculation accuracy for scrolling content.

LED Matrix Web Interface V3

Modern, production web interface for controlling the LED Matrix display.

Overview

This directory contains the active V3 web interface with the following features:

  • Real-time display preview via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
  • Plugin management and configuration
  • System monitoring and logs
  • Modern, responsive UI
  • RESTful API

Running the Web Interface

Standalone (Development)

From the project root:

python3 web_interface/start.py

Or using the shell script:

./web_interface/run.sh

As a Service (Production)

The web interface can run as a systemd service that starts automatically based on the web_display_autostart configuration setting:

sudo systemctl start ledmatrix-web
sudo systemctl enable ledmatrix-web  # Start on boot

Accessing the Interface

Once running, access the web interface at:

Configuration

The web interface reads configuration from:

  • config/config.json - Main configuration
  • config/secrets.json - API keys and secrets

API Documentation

The V3 API is available at /api/v3/ with the following endpoints:

Configuration

  • GET /api/v3/config/main - Get main configuration
  • POST /api/v3/config/main - Save main configuration
  • GET /api/v3/config/secrets - Get secrets configuration
  • POST /api/v3/config/secrets - Save secrets configuration

Display Control

  • POST /api/v3/display/start - Start display service
  • POST /api/v3/display/stop - Stop display service
  • POST /api/v3/display/restart - Restart display service
  • GET /api/v3/display/status - Get display service status

Plugins

  • GET /api/v3/plugins - List installed plugins
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/<id> - Get plugin details
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/<id>/config - Update plugin configuration
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/<id>/enable - Enable plugin
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/<id>/disable - Disable plugin

  • POST /api/v3/store/update/<id> - Update plugin

Real-time Streams (SSE)

  • GET /api/v3/stream/stats - System statistics stream
  • GET /api/v3/stream/display - Display preview stream
  • GET /api/v3/stream/logs - Service logs stream

Development

When making changes to the web interface:

  1. Edit files in this directory
  2. Test changes by running python3 web_interface/start.py
  3. Restart the service if running: sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix-web

Notes

  • Templates and static files use the v3/ prefix to allow for future versions
  • The interface uses Flask blueprints for modular organization
  • SSE streams provide real-time updates without polling
