Hi

I am currently playing around using the kids controller from an old tablet running in Kiosk mode.

I am using two instances of Sonos controller right now, to contact two Sonos boxes.

On the tablet I am using two tabs, one for each instance. At the moment both are just called "Ionic App". @Thyraz Would it be possible to add an option in the settings file, where I can set a custom name for the tab? I know when using this on the pi this is not relevant, but I guess on the pi tabs would also be an option...

When I have a final working solution I will share it here...

Maybe partially offtopic: Which app do you use for Kiosk mode?

WhileDekker commented 2 years ago

@stepman0 . I am currently testing with "fully kiosk". So far it looks really promising. When the Kiosk mode is enabled (with my current config) you can only use the home or power button. This will automatically open the Sonos kids controller. You cannot leave the app nor use any buttons. If you restart the device it will automatically launch it in Kiosk mode. Really nice. The app has tons of possible settings/customizations and in the end it's using some chromium engine as browser. Here I also added two tabs - each for each container. I am using an old Samsung galaxy tab (not rootet). The only thing I am struggling is a auto shutdown at the end of the day...

I guess I found a workaround for my tab naming issue. I guess I can just use a custom index.html and map that in the container...will test that. A container update will not overwrite that, but for sure this way I am not getting any updates on that file either. Will test it tomorrow...
