Does Firefox OS support developing digital signage on Panasonic TV? - firefox-os

I need to know if Firefox OS on the Panasonic TV devices allows me to develop a digital signage application that looks like this

You could always use iframe to layout web pages like that in the app. If the app requires additional control over the webpages, it will need the browser permission in order to use the Browser API.
However for the current version of the Firefox OS TV, although Panasonic has implemented a set of TV API based on W3C draft (https://w3c.github.io/tvapi/spec/), we don't know if it is opened to 3rd party apps. We'll consult them for the usage of the API.

How to configure Composite C1 to serve .m and desktop as the same site

I have a new starter Mercury site installed on azure.
I have edited the site.
On my pc the site appears as per the edits.
On my phone the site appears as it's original state after installation.
I believe this is because on my phone there is a setting to prefer mobile sites, which will request the .m sub domain automatically.
I haven't setup multiple sites, this is a simple, new azure web app, default composite install with the mercury starter kit.
How do I configure composite to serve the same site to both?
There is a split between mobile and desktop content, where desktops will get the animated multi-paged jumbotron, while mobiles will get a simpler jumbotron.
Currently you can change the mobile content if you go here in the C1 Console: "Layout | Page Template Features | Front Page Content Start" and edit this.
Given this feedback we will probably move the block to the actual front page content, so it is much easier to find.

WebRTC Streaming between PC and Mobile Client

I would like to implement peer to peer communication between mobile device (iOS & Android) AND Windows PC, I would like Mobile app will stream camera output to PC(no audio will require), and on PC user will able to capture screenshot from running steam. Below is possibility I am thinking.
Option 1 : Develop a Web based application which will run in Google Chrome or Firefox browser on Windows PC, and also will develop mobile client app which will run on Android and iOS devices, and using WebRTC it will steam mobile camera output to website which will be running in PC’s Chrome or Safari browser, and User will able to capture screenshot from running steam and that will be saved on user’s computer. Drawback of this solution is that I have to develop Website so will have not user’s computer file storage, as standalone desktop application is more preferable because desktop application will able to easily access user’s computer file system
Option 2: Develop 3 applications
one Standalone desktop application which will have all features which require to access computer’s local file system.
Develop a small web site which will have just a single screen, it will use for display mobile camera steam, and user will capture output from that page, will develop a kind of watchdog service in desktop app, which will grab latest captured screen from Chrome or Firefox browser.
3rd app would be mobile client which will be running on mobile which will stream camera output to PC using WebRTC. Drawback of this solution is that this solution would be not real-time, because user have to use two separate interface for Screen capture have to use PC Chrome or Firefox browser, and after screen capture have to move back to PC application.
My understanding is that It’s not possible to have Server less solution for WebRTC, Signaling server will require, I found some of open source WebRTC servers i.e. Easyrtc, signalmaster which I have to use and have to configure in own environment.
As this is my first WebRTC based project, so would like to know your opinion about Solution which i am thinking, is it right or is there any better way to achieve it.
Thanks

Hi suresh IOS not support WebRTC,But its possible in android
My option is Node-webkit(desktop app using HTML 5,Javascript,css3,Nodejs,NPM)

mobile app(intel xdk ) but ios not support WebRTC

You could use Twilio Video to do this.
You can build multi-party video calling into both web and native applications with the SDKs for:
JavaScript
iOS
Android
https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/video
You will also find the server-side starter apps in various languages you need to get started quickly.
In my preferred language example Python, a small Flask app handles token creation to handle user access for video conversations in app.py and the basic WebRTC functions can be found in quickstart.js.
Note: I work for Twilio.

Sharepoint 2013 Device Channel Mobile device access with different master page not working

I have created device channels, so that i can access my sp2013 website with a different master-page while accessing with mobile device. But still when i access the site, from different mobiles i get the same master page applied that is also the default master page.
I have done the following :
Created device channels(created 2 device channels)
Now i applied the different master page for mobile devices
I have tried to access my site via :
Sony Xperia Arc S (Android 4.1)
IPad 3
Iphone IOS 4.0
Did you make sure the "Automatic Mobile Browser Redirection" feature was deactivated in site settings on the site you are trying to access?
edit: After testing I found that this feature only works for Site Master Pages. If your page isn't a publishing page then it will take on the Master Page set for the System Master page. Unfortunatley the only device channel available there is "All Channels"
Try using "iPad" as device inclusion rule. instead of full device name. It worked for me.

Video on external display while app UI on device

Is it possible to play video on an external display via an HDMI connector and Apple TV while having my own app UI on the device?
Yes, it is possible, as the content displayed on the external display can either mirror the current app window, or show different windows.
The Multiple Display Programming Guide from Apple describes the process of implementing this pretty well. You may also want to look into the AirPlay Overview (in the case that the external display is AirPlay-enabled) for displaying video on the Apple TV.
