Re: Matrix - clients
 

Yes it might be doable.
I just installed synapse and have been studying how the api works.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

i would fukken LOVE to have a native matrix client. first person to make a client that goes 'ping' when i get a message with my phone locked gets a prize (riot does not in fact do this on SFOS)

Re: Matrix - clients
 

It looks like the matrix nio Python library does support E2E encryption; I think that would be a good start for a SFOS client given that python3/QML is well integrated into the OS.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Yes and it is a catastrophy to implement the stuff to nio because it is *real* complex.

• ca. 56MB additional libraries
• python async seems not to really cooperate with pyotherside
• the e2e-stuff looks good but the key handling is weird
• some stuff is not implemented which is needed for a full client in nio so it must be implemented on the nio side too.

(and that is why it takes so much time to reimplement my bluepill client from matrix-python-sdk to nio)

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Another way would be to update habour-matrix it is based on QMatrixClient and this got updated to Quotient and the new library also supports E2E encryption.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Ah, you were the one working on the SFOS app I was thinking of. Do you have a github repo or something? I'd love to try and help out.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

I expect there would be a ton of breaking changes if you were to try and update the library in harbour-matrix. It also looks like they now require a much newer GCC than we currently have in SFOS as well, so you might need to wait until gcc8 is released or do another hack like I did with gcc6

I got tired of constantly trying to keep up with each wave of changes, which is the main reason I stopped working in it in the first place.

If anyone wants help understanding the code base, i'm happy to help

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Bluepill does exactly that (and also lights up the LED). You should be able to find (old) discussion of the client elsewhere on this forum. I'm using version 0.1-14 (find it at https://gitlab.com/cy8aer/bluepill/p...pe=tags&page=1, download the armv7hl deployer, unzip it and install the RPM file).

This client isn't feature complete yet, so I fall back to Riot sometimes, but getting notifications on SFOS was a huge step forward. Development seems to be moving forwards, but slowly. I wish that I had the time to contribute myself.

cy8aer, if you're reading this, I really appreciate what you have done so far!

EDIT: I speed-read this thread too quickly, and missed cy8ear's post from yesterday! Sorry! :o

working on nio branch.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

yea, bluepill is hugely feature rich, but it kept giving me repeat messages (and a few other bugs) and i had to stop using it. when its done, i believe it will be the best matrix client anywhere.

EDIT: it also has the best name, which helps

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Ok, you said it: release early.

https://gitlab.com/cy8aer/bluepill/-/pipelines

Here you can find the actual state of development. With test-0.0.19 you can log in and see the dashboard with the room list. Crypto included.

Be warned: This does not work together with the PoC. Use a playing machine. Be sure that ~nemo/.config/harbour-bluepill and ~nemo/.local/share/harbour-config is cleared (or moved away).

It is not ready

It will not be ready soon.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

I wonder if anyone managed to get subscribed rooms listed. I get empty. cy8aer, is it expected? Stdout shows some events, but nothing in gui, but empty Rooms

Re: Matrix - clients
 

The list is full for me. Which version did you try? > 0.0.18? Crypted rooms? Did you restart the client? Did you cleanup ~nemo/.local/share/harbour-bluepill and ~/.cache/harbour-bluepill? Which server - self hosted or matrix.org? When self hosted: another server than matrix-synapse?

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Great to hear it is supposed to list rooms. :)

version: 0.0.19, trying now with .22

crypted rooms: could be some PM rooms, but I don't think so.

client restart: yes, also rebooted phone

cleanup: yes, and done it with the both versions

server: matrix.org

On stdout, I am getting exceptions in, surprise-surprise, client.get_room_list() call at ClientHandler.py(55). Looks like there are some issues with room.gen_avatar_uri) downloads. Exception is
"...ClientPayloadError: Response payload is not completed".

I can paste traceback if needed tonight (in 12h). If you wish, I can do it via opening new issue.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Try to write something in one of your crypted rooms and then open the client. There is some crazy thing I found out when I built the gui somehow my joined rooms list does not list crypted rooms somehow after first sync. If you then can see the room this would prove my expectation.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

... or create a new crypted room and write something into it (for both - writing into a room or creating a new room can be done with a running client. But it only refreshs the list on getting messages by now...).

Re: Matrix - clients
 

I am not sure if it is possible to have crypted avatar images. I tried to build up a new crypted room with another user and it worked out of the box - with avatar picture. But crypted pictures are not implemented. I probably need to except the ClientPayload error. Thanks for the error message.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Ok, it would be better if you open an issue with a traceback please. Eventually it would be nice if you put:

doSend("downloadUrl", url)

at line 550 in

/usr/share/harbour-bluepill/python/bluepill/client.py

(just before the o = urlparse(url)) before making the traceback.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Thanks, I will do it tonigh

Re: Matrix - clients
 

For all who look at my development build: Please count your rooms. I have a silly problem that on the devices rooms are missing after login.

If rooms are missing please add a note on

https://gitlab.com/cy8aer/bluepill/-/issues/30

Thank you.

Re: Matrix - clients
 

Hm found the bug. there are situations where a room does not have events on logon. And then they are filtered. Fix will be uploaded on gitlab: tag test-0.0.30 Edit 31!!
