Refreshing content in weblink #250

Open probso opened 8 months ago

probso commented 8 months ago

Is it possible to refresh content on a weblink without reloading the asset/slide? Currently if a playlist has only a single asset of a weblink with a display cycle of 20s, after 20s the browser exits, restarts, loads the page and switches to full screen - this causes the content to be missing for around 6s.

Is there a way to have the asset permanently displayed but to ask the browser to reload the content without exiting?

Moving on from this, if there were multiple weblink assets in the playlist is it possible to get the browser to fetch the next link without exiting and thus eliminating a whole screen redraw which means content is missing for a significant amount of time.

Hi, browser launch is needed for CORS issues? You could try using asset of type weblink if CORS is not the issue.

For auto reloading, you could try to embed a JS code in your webpage code if possible.
