Openlinkhub compatibility

[roose242]

Not sure it's an issue for Openlinkhub or openrgb-python. It seems Openlinkhub doesn't have endpoints for plugins and profiles. So querying Openlinkhub's Openrgb-Server runs into a timeout:

  File "/home/user/openrgb/openrgb-env/lib/python3.13/site-packages/openrgb/network.py", line 96, in read
    self.sock.recv_into(header)
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^
TimeoutError: timed out

Commenting out profile and plugin updates in orgb.py helps:

#if self.comms._protocol_version >= 2:
#    self.update_profiles()
#if self.comms._protocol_version >= 4:
#    self.update_plugins()

If I'm understanding this correctly, OpenLinkHub reimplemented the server side of the OpenRGB protocol?

Yeah if they don't support features from a version, they should just be advertising an older version of the protocol.

[roose242]

Yes, right.

client.protocol_version shows "4"

With the little hack it works like a charm, with two openrgb-clients running (openrgb and openlinkhub) at the same time in the same loop, controlling 26 180mm fans and other stuff - more than 900 LEDs in total incl. "realtime" effects implemented in python!

I am adding flags in protocol 6 so that clients and servers can advertise what parts of the protocol a client/server support.

As a workaround for now, instead of commenting out parts of the library, you can request a lower protocol version when you initialize the client.

cli = OpenRGBClient(protocol_version=1)

This is resolved on OpenLinkHub. An empty plugin and profile list will be sent, and the Py client will be able to connect. You can either compile the latest main or wait for a new release.
