Unhooking the second display does let users lose their cursors beyond the top of the screen for a moment now and again, but they report being generally happy with the setup. I opened my HTML page in the browser, hit F11 for fullscreen, moved my cursor around the top of the screen to summon the "X" button, then let it retract. Next I shrank my taskbar to a width of 2 pixels, to keep users from monkeying around with anything they shouldn't. I started the Raspberry Pi viewing station hooked up to a second monitor, positioned HDMI-1 on top, HDMI-2 on bottom. I finally devised a couple of ugly, inelegant solutions to these issues.įirstly, the exit-fullscreen "X" button that drops from the topmost part of the screen in Chromium only appears once per browser session if you're using a dual-screen setup. Searching for solutions online but codes I found did not work. Therefore, to limit users' potential mischief-making, I want to disable the menu that appears when a user right-clicks in VLC Player.Īny suggestion for a solution to either or both of these would be very much appreciated. There will be no keyboard hooked up to this Pi, so the mouse will offer the sole possible source of system access. Issue Two: VLC Player is currently configured to play fullscreen whenever a user clicks a link in the HTML file, then close when either (1) the user clicks Stop or (2) the playlist ends, thereby returning the user to the HTML interface. I imagine this can be done with JavaScript but have not been able to figure out how. Issue One: I need the HTML interface to open in a fullscreen viewport, on top of even the Debian taskbar. I have encountered the following two roadblocks to completing this project. The browser these systems are using is Chromium.

I'm not a programmer, so I'm using HTML/CSS, along with what JavaScript I can piece together, to open XSPF playlists in VLC Player 3.0.11 Vetinari on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B running Raspbian 10. I am developing a viewing station on which multiple users (many without computer experience) can watch video files.
