Hi,
I am trying the get a slide show of one my shared google albums but it is only showing one photo from the album.
FYI here below my log file.

I went to render a datadog dashboard today using one of my rPi 3b+ and the rendered output didn't match expectations:
Does this application support WebGL?
Just pushed the project in development mode on a device and got this error in loop:

It would be nice to add a variable that enables the shuffling of images in a slideshow instead of showing them in the regular order. Probably also check that all images from the array have been displayed before start repeating.
I think I came up with a clever solution for handling the gallery/wpe/launch URLs(https://github.com/balenalabs/balena-dash/blob/master/kiosk/wpe-init#L51-L66) and wanted to share. I'm using it on my fork (https://gitlab.com/bettse/balena-dash/-/blob/master/kiosk/wpe-init#L56).
$(printf "%s\n%s\n%s\n" $GALLERY_URL $WPE_URL $LAUNCH_URL | grep -v '^$' | tail -n1)
In our new blog post to create a video conference terminal for the family https://www.balena.io/blog/put-friends-and-loved-ones-on-the-big-screen-with-this-instant-video-call-project/#software apparently the Pi3 doesn't have good enough stability and performance to run the application.
It appears this is due to the fact that jitsi doesn't correctly support the H264 decoding correctly.jitsi/jitsi-videobridge#707
Running on a Pi3B+, I am starting to see an issue where if WPE_URL is set, even though Tohora starts, the startup script is too fast and the wget command doesn't connect to it. I suggest adding another sleep to the branch if WPE_URL is set.
But it's detected successfully if you re-plug the device
My web dashboard uses the local time of the browser to display the current time on the webpage. But the wpe images uses the same timezone as the host: UTC.
How can I change the timezone in the wpe container?
Since it's not based on Debian, the idea from https://github.com/balena-io-playground/balena-timezone does not work.
Great work, Balena may be exactly what we've been looking for.
I've been trying to run the following web application using balena-dash: https://d1174xcjip7dlv.cloudfront.net
The web app plays HLS streams (using https://github.com/CookPete/react-player). In regular Webkit browsers, this works fine (e.g. Safari) - but not in belena-dash. Not sure how to debug, it simply shows a black screen.
Any tips?
I just installed this for the first time, and discovered that the selection of fonts is the wpe container is a bit limited.
How can I install more fonts in the wpe container?
It doesn't seem to be based on Debian?
BALENA_HOST_CONFIG_display_lcd_rotate only rotates the display while BALENA_HOST_CONFIG_lcd_rotate the touch panel also works as intended
For example if I were to use http://10.19.0.115/d/TbcZuIzRz/dash?orgId=1&refresh=5m&kiosk, the actual page loaded would be: http://10.19.0.115/d/TbcZuIzRz/dash?orgId=1
Is it somehow possible to remove the X-Frame Options, of the pages loaded.
I want to load an url which contains a frame of an external page, which sets the X-Frame-Options to deny.
Error: Refused to display 'https://AN-URL-WITH-UNSECURE_FRAMES/' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'deny'.
For my old dashboard with chrome I had this plugin enabled:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ignore-x-frame-headers/gleekbfjekiniecknbkamfmkohkpodhe
Drops X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy HTTP response headers, allowing all pages to be iframed.
Hey folks, this might not be an issue. Anyway I am working on a project where I want Django and balena Dash on the same device. Is that in any way possible?
I had a quick question regarding the page that is displayed when the system experiences a network drop, a server error, or you go to setup a new wifi network on the device (image attached below). Is there a way to customize this page?
I tried digging into the code, but can not find where the page is hosted locally. I would like to customize the page so I can troubleshoot easier as well as possibly add a function that auto restarts WPE/the device periodically when in this state to see if the network has resolved itself/connected to the new network without having to unplug the device or login to the dashboard to manually restart it.
Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Although the project docs state that an RPi 3B is required, some users were trying to run it on earlier RPi models and the question was raised on the reason why the project shouldn't work on earlier RPi models.
When I run the latest master (81e28ec) I can't seem to get anything to appear on the screen except the balenaOS console output (screenshot to follow).

[jtonello] A user is attempting to get the balena-dash to read from an attached USB, but he's getting errors. Is it possible that the /usr/src/app~/ path is a typo in photos/udev/usb.rules and photos/udev/copy.sh?
Hello all,
I'm using this project to display a web-app on the official rpi touchscreen with a raspberry pi 4 and I observe an undesired 3-4mm black border at the top and left sides of the screen.
I don't know if this is intended or if it happens on the rpi3, but I was wondering if there's a way to remove it?
Thanks!
right after i push the directory from my computer to my pi, i keep getting this error, and it doesn't stop. any ideas on why this could be happening?

Hi balenaDash team,
Thank you for this great project. I'm trying to setup 2 displays in my university to display content for the IT department : web pages, announcements, newsfeeds, videos, etc. I find that I'm getting really choppy videos on youtube, twitch, etc. As suggested in a tutorial, I cranked the GPU memory to 296Mb but I'm still getting poor video performance. Should the videos be fullspeed or am I doing somethign wrong?
Thank you for your help and for this project!
I would like to see a way to use Nextcloud or any other WebDAV server as photo source. This would allow a whole list of additional providers.
I am trying to create a kiosk in portrait orientation. I have set an environment variable ROTATE_DISPLAY=left but this appears to rotate the chromium window and relocate it's top-left corner to the new position but it does not appear to resize the window to 1080x1920, as expected. I have tried specifying the window size manually, via WINDOW_SIZE=1080,1920 but that appears to just change the black area of the screen to white, but not render content there.
Furthermore, the touch-panel doesn't appear to rotate with the screen, although I think I have a solution for this by including xserver-xorg-input-libinput and modifying 40-libinput.conf.
I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB).
I would be extremely thankful for any assistance on this - I've been hitting my head on a wall for nearly a week now!

The Kiosk web url now displays on 1/4 of the screen alligned on top left.
Please advise.
Probably some fonts are missing. You can look at this dashboard https://tanix.damidev.com/enviro-tv and focus on measurement names in charts - the word "Svฤtlo" in the last chart for example. I am experiencing the problem with timezone, thumb up given to the related issue.
Thanks for your work and help with this issue.
This block will be skipped if WPE_URL is not set, leading to the script exiting, leading to the container restarting forever.
The solution would be to add an else statement to the previous block, setting a default URL as stated in the README:
The default value is Youtube TV

The only difference in the 3 units is one is on a wired network and the other two are on WiFi network. The wired seems more stable but exhibits this behavior every once in a while after being rebooted. The logs last messages after a reboot are:

But it doesn't get past the Balena Logo. Just stops there and never displays the Google photo gallery.
I can provide other settings if more info is needed. I'm at wits end. I don't know where to look. The last "run" was everything was working fine for 3 weeks, then the two WiFi units started displaying the Logo. The logs all looks fine, show the gallery is reloading on schedule every 15 minutes per the Scheduler..... I rebooted the two WiFi units, tried restarting the app, tried restarting the Kiosk, tried restarting the Gallery. Finally got one of them working again, but the other is being stubborn.
Any ideas on something to try are welcome!
I have been following this project for a while now, and may I start off by saying it is awesome! I recently updated to the latest version as I was hoping it being ported directly from the browser block, some issues would be resolved, main one being the sizing issue I am having on a Vizio 32" screen (Picture of specs and issue attached below.) When I updated, there were quite a few things that were resolved, but unfortunately this was not one...
I have tried solutions like the one outlined here, and even a large amount of other random configurations as well. The closest I can get is to it filling the entire length, but then it has an even shorter width with using the WINDOW_SIZE flag and I set it to 1920, 1080 as recommended. The odd things as that the Balena Logo displays full screen when it boots up, so I know it can display at that size, it's just the browser. Any suggestions?

Apologies if this is already included somewhere, but I couldn't find anything showing that the kiosk could be made to display the photo app on the monitor. A user on the forum was asking about this functionality (will link here in a moment).
On my device, I was able to get this to work by putting http://[ip address of my device]:8888 into the form at http://[ip address of my device]:8080. My device was in dev mode, though I don't think that should make a difference here.
Edit: And of course, you can also add http://photos:8888...which is a lot easier. ๐
Hi,

This issue was originally raised in https://www.balena.io/blog/using-google-slides-with-balenadash/#comment-4549162493
The symptom is that google slides shows are not looping. I think I have isolated it to the extra "loop" parameter being lost from the URL being shown. If I browse to the web host (port 8080 on the host device), then I can see that the url parameters are being dropped:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/<identifier>/pub?start=true
when that needs to be:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/<identifier>/pub?start=true&loop=true&delayms=1000
Pasting that latter URL into the web app at port 8080 has the proper looping behavior, so I think it's not a problem with wpe itself. I think I have isolated this to wpe-init, where wget posts the URL to the web host:
https://github.com/balena-io-projects/balena-dash/blob/master/wpe/wpe-init#L41
What I'm pretty sure is happening is that the ampersands in the URL are being interpreted as separators between variables to post. So, instead of:
url=https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/<identifier>/pub?start=true&loop=true&delayms=1000
we are getting:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/<identifier>/pub?start=true
loop=true
delayms=1000
as separate variables. These seem to be getting passed along to the slideshow somehow (the delayms certainly seems to change), but the loop argument doesn't seem to stick.
I thought putting data into a file and then passing the file instead of a string might be a nice fix: https://superuser.com/a/1328046/184799
but unfortunately, the wget in the container doesn't support the --post-file parameter. I can't seem to track down where the true base image is - I followed it to a few users' personal repos, but got lost.
Is there a good way that you know of to prevent these URL parameters from getting stripped out and lost? Is it worthwhile to try to install a more complete wget implementation to try the --post-file approach?
To make it more clear what's going wrong/not working when no LAUNCH_URL is specified, display an instructional page hosted on disk that advises the user this needs to be added and also shows the tohora URL

First off thank you for a great and fun balena project I've enjoyed playing with it over the last few days. I am having a bit of an issue though.
Setup:
Raspberry pi 3 B+
64gb micro sd
Official Raspberry pi 7" touchscreen display
I am using the latest code off the master branch, no modifications except line break adjustments because I am on windows.
I specified a GALLERY_URL for google photos album and when I visit http://:8888 from my browser I see the correct photos.
However WPE is displaying a balena logo and so is my pi.
I can visit http://:8080 and manually specify http://photos:8888 and it does work as intended.
I believe there's an issue with https://github.com/balena-io-projects/balena-dash/blob/master/wpe/public_html/index.html. I am not a developer and js looks confusing to me so I can't be sure.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong.
I just installed this on a Rpi3B+ with the standard Rpi 7" touch screen.
The display works, but the touch-driver seems to be missing, as nothing happens when I touch the screen.
Another idea I was thinking was to add left and right swipe on the touch screen to advance the photos overriding the auto-advance timer. Not sure how tricky that might be. cc @dansku
