Opens media player on WebBLE (iOS) #3

Open christophkamp opened 5 years ago

Hi there,

curious issue. When clicking on any link in the menu or Buttons in the App WebBLE opens an empty media player window. This only happens when a cube is connected.

Thanks

Christoph

Yes, this is a bug. The NoSleep.js library being used works by playing a fake bit of media in the background; preventing the device from sleeping. This is very useful when drilling algs while navigating with the Giiker cube rather than touching the screen (U for Next, U' for Repeat).

However, the WebBLE browser doesn't properly support playing background media and shows the player.

As a workaround, there is a setting at briefcubing.com (Allow App Sleep) that can disable this.

I'll look into a proper fix...
