Working with openrgb built from source

[Rijaja]

I built OpenRGB from source a few days ago because the current official release is missing support for my device. It works well but I can't connect to the SDK server with this client.

I don't really know what OpenRGB's development cycle is like especially for a project like yours, so maybe this is way out of scope.

Right now it doesn't work for me:

>>> from openrgb import OpenRGBClient
>>> client = OpenRGBClient("localhost", name="python-client", port=6742)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-1>", line 1, in <module>
    client = OpenRGBClient("localhost", name="python-client", port=6742)

(not making this an issue because it's not a real problem for now)

Just built it myself and not having an issue. What's the device that was added? I'd like to check whether they're missing anything.

It's the ROG Strix G814JV

Problem no longer happening with a new build of OpenRGB from commit 28e97cf2d972d34ee8bf53116fe3fc8480221281. Maybe it was a bug in OpenRGB.
