FAQ ❓

Frequently Asked Questions and troubleshooting quick tips for OSMV.

🖥️ How do I bring back the configuration window?

If you closed the window using the Passer en Headless (🌙) button, the heavy GUI process is killed to save RAM, but the daemon is still running in the background.

To open the configuration window again:

• Right-click the OSMV Tray Icon in your system tray (notification area).
• Select Afficher Configuration (Show Configuration).
• Alternatively, you can just run the osmv executable again; it will automatically notice the daemon is already running and spawn the GUI instead of starting a new instance.

🐧 Why is my System Tray Icon invisible on Linux?

Wayland compositors (like Hyprland) and desktop environments like GNOME do not support classic system trays out of the box.

• On Hyprland / Waybar: Make sure the "tray" module is active in your Waybar config.
• On GNOME: Install the AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support  extension.
• Make sure package dependency libappindicator-gtk3 or libayatana-appindicator3 is installed on your Linux system.

⚡ Can I make OSMV launch automatically on startup?

Yes!

• On Linux (Hyprland): Add exec-once = /path/to/osmv in your hyprland.conf.
• On Windows: Create a shortcut of OSMV.exe, press Win + R, type shell:startup, and paste the shortcut into the folder.
• Note: Startup launch is extremely lightweight (~15MB of RAM) because it starts headlessly in the background, only spawning the GUI when manually requested.
