SlimJet vs Node-Webkit

Post by iamlovin »

Is it possible to have SlimJet with Node-Webkit feature or built-in NodeJS? for example

1) custom kiosk frame or not frame, resize or not resize, width, height tuning?

Code: Select all

{
 "name": "test",
 "main": "https://site.com",
 "window": {
  "title": "",  
  "toolbar": false,
  "frame": false,
  "resizable": false,
  "kiosk": true,
  //"always-on-top": true,
  "show": true,
  "width": 1280,
  "height": 720
 }
}
2) Execute EXE on local PC

Code: Select all

<script>
var gui = require('nw.gui');
var sys = require('sys')
var exec = require('child_process').exec;
var child;

function runme(input) {
    child = exec(input, function (error, stdout, stderr) {
        sys.print('stdout: ' + stdout);
        sys.print('stderr: ' + stderr);
        if (error !== null) {
            console.log('exec error: ' + error);
        }
    });
}
</script>

<input type="button" value="Auto login setup" onclick="runme('netplwiz');" />
<input type="button" value="Resolution" onclick="runme('desk.cpl');" />

<input type="button" value="Resolution" onclick="runme('taskschd.msc');" />
<input type="button" value="Resolution" onclick="runme('mmsys.cpl');" />

<input type="button" value="Resolution" onclick="runme('ncpa.cpl');" />
<input type="button" value="Resolution" onclick="runme('control /name Microsoft.Taskbar');" />
3) Is there anyway to tell SlimJet. Launch as Chromium version 46?
because 47, 48, 49, 50 has lot of incompatible issues such as after version 46 HTTP can't open HTTPS or HTTPS can't open HTTP (webRTC iframe requires this option).

4) is it possible to tell SlimJet, please run Chromium 49 but allow HTTP accessing HTTPS or HTTPS accessing HTTP?

5) How to play MP4 video clips with SlimJet? (using Google chrome it only works but never worked with Chromium)

Perhaps this is a Codec issue. See this User Solution

Also, it is best when making forum posts to keep different Topics in different new posts. This helps everyone as the Subject they see when looking at the forum will reflect the post content correctly.

Thanks. Is it possible to move SlimJet community discussion to more community friendly networks such as Google discussion or Github? (PhpBB is very old way of doing those now a days, for example when you commented on my question, i never got any notification, but in other platform we get instant mobile alert to be connected faster, also those forums are more SEO friendly)
