[Solved] Video Screensaver Issue
Posted: 30 Nov 2017, 15:46
Hey there, I have an interesting problem.
I have Porteus running on an Intel NUC, in a kiosk, deployed in a mall with a touchscreen monitor and USB keyboard.
It plays a video screensaver with audio, in .mp4 format. I've had it reach the video from my webserver, and then made a custom image and stored it locally.
Reaching the video in either fashion works fantastically, until the kiosk sits for a period of time, playing the screensaver. After about 10 or more minutes, and a user interacts with it to wake it up, it freezes the system.
The video pauses, a page not responding window appears at the top, and the press F11 to exit shows up. However, the video is frozen to the screen, and alt-tabbing, etc., can not minimize it.
The only way out at that point that I've found is to reboot the NUC.
I presumed storing it locally would correct the issue, but it does not. And if a user interacts with it shortly after the screensaver starts, it functions as intended and wakes up to a website page.
Here is my Kiosk Configuration:
Here is my Chrome Configuration; note: I don't actually apply these changes via the config file, I manually compiled these in the modules when I added the video.
Any input would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks.
