HTML5 Component - Using Google Slides
« on: April 17, 2013, 08:21:46 AM »
One great solution we've been using to allow users to easily edit and update templated content for signage studio is through the use of Google Slides.
Here's an example of a simple slideshow that I schedule from the web. (only crummy thing, it's limited to a 4:3 aspect ration at the moment).

docs.google.com/presentation/d/1wDpGRa6XeQ_Mq2zyCDOBX3ZxBB7fuw1BaAGKuyOS6Q0/pub?start=true&loop=true&delayms=10000#slide=id.gb68728fb_014

Anyhoo, one thing that's bothering me at the moment - this slideshow presents perfectly in all browsers without issue. In SignageStudio however (and SignagePlayer), the slideshow doesn't render the text properly (it looks like a fuzzy, rasterized image). Transitions don't occur, rather it just switches between slides, and animations don't work.

If the HTML5 component truly supports HTML5 and javascript, could there be a solution for this? Using Google Docs as a centralized repository will make things very easy for our rollout at our University. Hopefully someone has a solution.

Bumping this again. No word in two months.
Why won't the HTML5 component display embedded Google Slides Slideshows properly?

The HTML5 component has some limitations as it is WebKit embedded in Adobe AIR, we will be upgrading the WebKit / AIR SDK in next release so hopefully this will work for you.

Dear Admin,
As of last week, Google Docs no longer displays (it used to) after plugging in Google Drive directly in the HTML component, I get the old fashioned "This page requires a modern browser" in order to display.

Here's a sample page to test:
docs.google.com/presentation/d/1RjK8Nr4lSiNRgVZZQlBlFqyxC3650U2cRGmgv0BQTgA/pub?start=true&loop=true&delayms=5000

Do you know if the HTML5 component and webkit/air sdk will be updated to correct this issue? If so, when?
