it is not suitable for production environments and should only be used for testing enable camera enables webpage access to usb cameras connected to the player (access is disabled by default) this allows support for webrtc applications enable mouse and touch events enable user interaction with the html page (clicking on links, interacting with javascript elements, etc ) display cursor displays a cursor whenever a usb mouse is connected to the player enable native video playback enables html video docid\ e6ujleh69q0jmmv8kytrp on all \<video> elements contained within the page this increases the frame rate and quality of html video playback, but can also cause problems with css page transforms and other page elements by default, it will place video on top of all graphics in the presentation and set the zones docid\ v evnmu6c7k5nhuns86qt of all \<video> elements to zones docid\ v evnmu6c7k5nhuns86qt enable native chromium video playback this feature is only available for xc5 players and allows users to use chromium’s video player instead of brightsign’s video player that is based on mpv software note that some features will only work when using brightsign’s video player (like synchronization), but for customers trying to play stock websites and not html content custom developed for brightsign, the chromium video player will act more like chrome on a desktop enable javascript console enables the debugging webpages docid 4qlk1krr1cnx7xypwxry5 for html sites in the presentation for security reasons, enable javascript console should only be used in non production presentations make sure to disable javascript console before publishing to a production environment in the chromium version found in bos 8 5 and beyond, the javascript console will log information in memory even when you are not connected to the inspector this will consume memory until the player runs out, which will result in a crash to enable the javascript console in bos 8 5 31 and above, you will need to either set the enable web inspector registry key (in the "html" section) to enable the javascript console (see the "inspector server" in rohtmlwidget docid\ xljq5 yhdma2ssmpzimtk for more info) enable "chromium debugging" in the brightauthor\ connected rdws (with brightauthor\ connected version 1 7 11 and above) or the ldws sites from urls share storage html widgets that display file urls will share the same storage database sites from local disk share storage in os 8 2 55 4 and later, html widgets that are loaded from http/https protocols do not share the same local storage database (html widgets that are loaded via file protocol act as they did previously) this flag allows html widgets loaded via http/https protocol to share local storage if they are loaded from the same domain notes this section lets you store important information about the html5 state for future users it can be modified at any time advanced this section lets you add commands to your presentation to extend its functionality see commands & conditional targets docid\ az1ytdteyh zp2dbg lbl for more information using html5 states to add an html component to your presentation either select an external website to display, or upload an internal website to the content library (by going to the content drop down and selecting new component > upload html site ) select and drag the html widget to your canvas you will see a red dot on the widget, which indicates that some html5 state /#state properties need to be filled in fill them in depending on what you want to display now connect other events to the html state as desired example this tutorial video shows you how to add weather and time information to a presentation using an html widget pdf version https //archbee doc uploads s3 amazonaws com/aiw58 3npddpglgjivvls lvbtgzukneonjaf psaeg 20250716 210834 pdf
