FPP Web browser on the RPi box.

[Cee DeLights]

Is there a local web browser that is available on the FPP/Rpi box?
If so, how do I enable it to auto-start and display the FPP browser when the Rpi box is powered on?

I'm thinking of installing a small Touch LCD screen so I can view settings and status of FPP without having to use a laptop (or phone)

Perhaps its possible to install a small browser app and auto-run the browser when the FPP box is turned on.

Cheers.

There is a kiosk mode in fpp that allows you to access the interface directly from the pi. I think it may only work with hdmi though so it would depend what Lcd screen you use.

FPP Settings, System Settings, then at the bottom of the screen is the enable kiosk

Hi Phil,

Kiosk mode works well !

Further to the above - this setting also works an absolute treat on the OEM Raspberry Pi LCD panel that connects using the internal ribbon connector - rather than via HDMI.
Not only does the display work, but the touch screen also does too.

I set mine the same way. All I get on the screen is the mouse icon. Did you force the image to the pi screen some how?

It's been a while since I had that setup, was more a test, I think with FPP5.4
Two questions,
1. what version of FPP are you using?
2. Did you enable Kiosk mode?

I enabled kiosk but have been getting an error on the the pi screen saying it can't connect to the x server? Do I have some settings set incorrectly?
