Chrome Capture - Full Screen?

[djtet]

Apologies up front as I am not tech-savvy.
I have successfully set up the chrome capture settings on my Mac. I included two channels. One is USA Network and works fine, meaning that when I open that channel it opens on my Channels app in full screen video.
However, the other channel, MSG+, shows the actual Chrome web browser screen and doesn't go into full screen view. See attached screenshot. Anyone know if it's possible to have this MSG+ stream automatically pull up in full screen? Thanks!!

You can add this to the main.js:

BETA: Chrome Capture for Channels

Added this and it works.. Basically simulates hitting F11. // Trigger fullscreen mode using the Fullscreen API document.documentElement.requestFullscreen(); // Pink highlight here [image] Can you guys help me add the guide data properly? I appreciate your help

Thanks fjh3. As I mentioned I'm not very tech savvy. I have no idea where the main.js file is located in order to add the code. Would you have any info? Thanks!

Main.js can be found in the chrome-capture-for-channels folder. Open the file and cut and paste the line indicated in the post. How you do that depends on your OS. What are you using?

I'm on an M1 Mac running Ventura (13.2.1). I've searched for a main.js file and it's not showing. Again, sorry...I'm not very tech savvy. Thanks again for your help!

That's because you are using the already compiled executable program, not dealing with the base files that create it. You'd have to download the Git Repo itself which contains the main.js file, then edit the file, and finally compile the executable yourself. It's not 100% crazy to do, but it is still fairly technical. Follow the ADVANCED/OPTIONAL directions in the main thread:

ADVANCED/OPTIONAL: There are multiple ways to modify the base files in order to override the default settings and test if another one would work best for you.

There are changes you could make in the base files to customize your experience. For instance, a number of stations are already written in the code. If you go to the directory with the files and edit one named "main.js", you will find something like this:

These are all of the default stations. If you have more you would like to add, you can do so here by adding in the same format {Station ID}: {Link to Screen to Display},. However, to be clear, this is unnecessary as there are simpler ways to add stations as detailed below. Further, this is an active development, so any changes you make to base code may be overwritten with an update.

That said, you could modify other settings like the video and audio bitrate. Once you have made changes to the main.js file, follow the directions under Development to create a new executable version for Windows/Mac or to build your standalone Docker.

This is from the troubleshooting section explaining what you have to do:

• I am still not getting full screen for specific or all stations: Certain providers/websites appear a bit more difficult to get full-screen to work automatically. For instance, if you use YouTubeTV or go to the NFL Network's website, it may not work as expected. If this is your situation, you will have to follow the ADVANCED/OPTIONAL directions above and edit the main.js file to include this code:

      // Trigger fullscreen mode using the Fullscreen API
      document.documentElement.requestFullscreen(); // Pink highlight here

It should be placed at this location in the file:

And this is what is what it says on the Git Repo and being talked about here that you'll need to do:

You are also most likely going to need to install node.js and NPM first. Here's how to do that:

Good luck, lot's of new things for you to learn about!

Gotcha! Thanks so much for the info!
