11 months ago This should be possible using Screen Capture API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capture_API
and mapping it to html video.
I don't think its enabled in Lively browser by default due to privacy concerns, but should work outside.
Much appreciation for this! The atmospheric benefit Music TV provides is astonishing. Is it possible to modify the totally righteous TV scheme, so that it can play media, perhaps blitting the video from a minimized application such as Chrome? If not, then can the assets be used as a standalone skin for VLC, for chrome, or for edge, or for something like jellyfin player? This creation is outstanding and needs to be given MORE POWER!!! It's almost like there's a framework for doing this that should exist, but instead we have a plethora of apps that play video either fullscreen or in a frame within them, but nothing in between, sure some have "popout" which kind of might work, but without any transformation, but what should be happening is that apps in google/apple/linux/microsoft, should be asking the user what to "cast" the output to, and let the user install and run their actual player, which could be something like this TV. IDK just ranting at this point. I suppose maybe BeOS had something like this. Windows Media Overlay I guess is a start, but not actually designed for accepting updates of any substantial [resolution * frequency]?
