Hi,
i want to use Screenly for my Network Monitoring called PRTG, wich creates nice HTML Maps. But after some time, showing that PRTG Map in Screenly, the screen wont refresh and i have a black Screen. It seems like the whole Pi is not responding.
PRTG Maps can reload them selve every x seconds by a parameter in its URL like “&interval=20” and i think they you a lot of Javascript.
Is there anything that screenly is not compatible with?
I’m pretty sure that we have customers using PRTG with the commercial version of Screenly. It likely works with OSE too, as long as you use the developer version (which uses a newer browser).
Do however note that you don’t want to use the &interval=20 feature, but rather have Screenly reload the page as a given interval. The reason for that is because you’ll run into memory issues at some point otherwise.
Hi.
i am using Screenly OSE Image for my Pi, how can i change to developer version here?
The cause back then was the old web browser, which struggled with heavy, self-refreshing pages like a PRTG map and could lock up the screen. Anthias now uses a modern browser engine (the same one behind Chrome), which handles auto-refreshing dashboards far better, and the player recovers on its own instead of freezing. Marking this as solved. If a specific dashboard still gives you trouble on a current version, let us know the details and we will help.
