Can't play video in google slide

Open taquitosensei opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Loading google slide presentation with single slide with a video. The presentation and video are shared properly. From my workstation using chrome in incognito mode it plays fine. But using the pi-suite kiosk script. I get "Unable to play video. Error 5" If I change it to static slides it works fine. Not even sure where to begin troubleshooting this. Here's what I'm using to run chromium. chromium-browser --display=:0 --kiosk --incognito --window-position=0,0 --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --enable-logging=stderr --v=1 > chromium_log.txt 2>&1 "url_for_presentation"

Glad that pi-suite proved helpful for the kiosk mode @taquitosensei. You can also check out the Pi Kiosk tutorial we put together.

Unfortunately, video bug you are experiencing is well out of scope for this project. The kiosk scripts in pi-suite are for displaying locally hosted web pages with at most some JavaScript running. You might want to check if the video playback is even supported by the Pi itself, or the version of Chromium that it is running.

Hope that provides some direction. Feel free to add any findings as comments in this issue as it may help others with similar problems in future, and then kindly close the issue. Thanks and good luck!
