Then open Roon, open the main menu, and select Settings. In the Settings window, select Extensions and find the the Elgato Stream Deck controller extension and click Enable.

Local development

Source code

The Sources folder contains the source code of the plugin. It will be built into the Sources/net.bliny.roon.sdPlugin folder during dev mode and production build.

Enable Stream Deck debug mode

See https://developer.elgato.com/documentation/stream-deck/sdk/create-your-own-plugin/

macOS

defaults write com.elgato.StreamDeck html_remote_debugging_enabled -bool YES

Windows

In Registry Editor, add a DWORD html_remote_debugging_enabled with value 1 in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elgato Systems GmbH\StreamDeck.

Enable the plug-in (without install)

Link the development folder into the Stream Deck plug-ins folder (adjust the first path to match source folder location):

ln -s ~/dev/streamdeck-roon/Sources/net.bliny.roon.sdPlugin ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.elgato.StreamDeck/Plugins/net.bliny.roon.sdPlugin

Run the plug-in and property inspector in hot reload mode: Development mode is run using beta version of Parcel 2 (https://parceljs.org/) to allow for hot reloads without a development web server.

cd Sources/
npm run plug-in:build:watch

# In second terminal
cd Sources/
npm run property-inspector:build:watch

Build release package

• Update the version constant in package.json
• Update the VERSION_NUMBER constant in index.js
• Update the version number in manifest.json

Release packages are bundled using Webpack 5 (https://webpack.js.org/).

npm run build

Remember to stop both debug watches first!

Run the Distribution Tool to validate the package. See https://developer.elgato.com/documentation/stream-deck/sdk/packaging/
