Experimental browser for info-beamer hosted

This package allows you to show webpages in a constant rotation. Just add the urls of the pages you want to display and their individual display time:

JavaScript automation

Certain pages require custom actions after loading. Most of those can probably automated using a short JavaScript snippet that is run in the context of the page/iframe. The Script feature allows you to do just that. Have a look at

for some discussion of how all that works.

Presistent Profile

Usually the browser is started with a disposable user profile. If you restart the Pi or switch between the browser and some other info-beamer setup, all cookies and other browser settings are lost.

Most of the time this is actually beneficial as no data has to be written to the SD card and you can be sure that the browser behaves exactly the same each time.

The persistent profile option allows you to store the chrowser settings on your SD card instead. They then most likely survive Pi restarts and set cookies are persistet.

Note that you need to either restart the setup or your Pi for this setting to have any effect.

Custom certificates

If you use an internal CA for custom SSL certificates, you can add their PEM formatted certificate here. They will then be available to the browser for verification.

Note that you need to either restart the setup or your Pi for this setting to have any effect.

Releases

Version 104.4

• On Pi4/5: Work around issue when configured resolution isn't the native display resolution. So if you have a 4K display but set the Pi to use FullHD, the browser would previously still use 4K. It does now too, but the setup process now calculates the scaling factor and in the example case scales up content by 2x, so it matches the intended resolution.

  Note that using the new "Embedded Browser" package doesn't have this issue as it uses the native rendering process and fully respected the configured resolution. Try it out:
