Kiosk/remote control/fullscreen/cast mode
I got a simple idea that can be used in devices with an outdated browser, but not necessarily the best controls (smart TVs, kiosks, public tablets in buses maybe 😄).
How about one page with all controls and one page with just the rendered image? The contents would be identical, including screen size setting. Related: #58
Thats sounds exciting but could you provide some more details?
This is a good timing because I'm working on a templatized version of html controls.
Here's a quick mockup comparing my idea - first image is yours and therefore the "remote control" client, the second is a mockup that just has the web contents and a different port.
The "kiosk UI" is literally just the same contents displayed without other UI elements.
Do the controls and image have to be on a different port or just a different url?
I have checked in an update to wrp that allows to use html template file, this way you can customize the ui any way you want using the wrp.html file
please let me know if this helps you with this issue?
note that you will need to build wrp from master head to get the latest update
Well, customizing the UI is a different subject, here I just want a direct link to the content without the UI (but the UI should be available in a separate URL).
I was reading your earlier comments and looked like you wanted to disable the UI components
The "kiosk UI" is literally just the same contents displayed without other UI elements.
You should be able to do it by customizing wrp.html to remove these components or make them in to hidden form elements rather.
Reading your last comment are you saying that you would like to say listen on a different port or perhaps different url and as such display a different html page for it?
If yes does it have to be a separate port or could it be a different uri, for example:
http://1.2.3.4:8080/ - normal http://1.2.3.4:8080/kiosk/ - stripped ui?
Yes, /kiosk would be fine.
The point with my sentence was that I want to remove the elements for kiosk, yes, but still be able navigate the UI in the "control page", that then would change the contents of kiosk page too.
