Hello,

We are investigating the capacity of using a web browser to integrate a generative media inside a PB show.
Currently, our generative and interactive artwork is generated on a dedicated PC (programmed in OpenFrameworks).
The video output may be renderer inside a web page.
If we use the web browser widget, can we display the video embedded in this web page ?
And if yes, which video resolution is feasible : HD only or up to UHD / 4K ?

Hello,

Don't count on that. The web browser is meant for simple HTML display. Since it was easy to put in we thought it might be a nice addition.

Keep in mind that the Browser is the only feature in PB that is not synchronized across multiple machines. It is driven by an rather old version of chrome. The framework we use hasn't been updated and there is not much we can do about it.

Edit: You can give it a try and report back if you had any success!

Regards
Dennis
