SpaceMusic Host

What it is

The Host is the small desktop program people actually start for SpaceMusic (SpaceMusic.Host.exe). It launches the engine (SpaceMusic Core), keeps it up to date and serves the web control screens in its window (repo).

For us: Host and Core are two different parts. The Host is the steady shell that updates itself (with Velopack, an auto-update tool); the Core is the engine inside it. A team member only installs the Host.

How to start

1. Install SpaceMusic with SpaceMusic Installer; the Host starts from the Start menu and updates itself.
2. Quick alternative on a studio PC: run C:\SM\Portable\SpaceMusic.Host.exe.
