Porteus

I'm trying to use a Google Slides slideshow as a screensaver in Porteus Kiosk. If I hit "test webpage" with a link to the show, it plays just fine.

Here's a sample slideshow link:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/ ... ayms=10000

However, once the Kiosk has been installed, it doesn't work. It doesn't matter whether using Chrome or Firefox as the browser, when the screensaver is supposed to display a Google Slides error appears instead - "Sorry, unable to open the file at this time. Please check the address and try again."

Any ideas?

Hello cch,

This problem is fixed already in the 'automatic updates' channel and fix will make its way into next public kiosk release (4.8.0).

For now please escape every '&' character in your URL so it looks like '\&'.

Thanks for the help!
