Hi,
I'm running MoOde on a Pi3 with a Hifiberry DAC2 HD.....sounds AWESOME!
I notice that Chromium browser, for the local display, is a bit of a CPU hog so tried using different web browsers to see what difference it made by editing .xinitrc
Vivaldi works well....and uses less CPU than Chromium.
Firefox works, but the screen is offset off the top left corner.
My feature request is 2 fold:
1. Can an alternative browser be used to lower CPU usage (and heat) of the Pi? or better launch parameters for Chromium that make it behave?
and/or
2. Can there be a permanent option for only showing the "now playing", coverview, screensaver on local output and that page be a standalone lightweight page rather than the toggleable layer that I *think* it currently is.
I currently have cron enable with:
@reboot sleep 30 && /var/www/command/coverview.php -on >/dev/null 2>&1
* * * * * /var/www/command/coverview.php -on >/dev/null 2>&1
* * * * * ~/ping.sh
(The ping.sh script is to keep the connection awake.....SSH & web stop responding after some hours of inactivity.....although ping continues to respond.)
Sorry for the messy post.
Regards,
Andy.
