[Node-RED] Chromium not displaying Flowfuse chart

Post by jfelgueiras »

Hello,

I have my RevPi running on kiosk mode. Currently it automatically opens a node-RED dashboard on Chromium i built using Dashboard 2.0:
https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/

However, one of the elements of my dashboard, this being the chart, isn't being displayed on the HDMI touchscreen connected directly to my RevPi.

When I access the dashboard via my PC browser (Firefox), the chart is correctly displayed.
Chart correctly displayed on Desktop.
Chart correctly displayed on Desktop.
On the touchscreen, however, it appears blank.
Chart not displayed on touchscreen.
Chart not displayed on touchscreen.
I suspect the problem might be in the Chromium browser itself.
Is there anything I can do to fix it? Or are there any alternative browsers that have a kiosk mode which I can use?

Best regards

Update:
So I've got good news and bad news.
The good news is, I installed Firefox on the RevPi and the chart was displayed. The bad news is Firefox runs terribly slow and is unsuited.
Anyway, this makes me believe changing browsers may do the trick. I'll try some different ones to see how it goes.

I installed Vivaldi and the dashboard is now fully displayed!

In order to open the dashboard in kiosk mode, I replaced the chromium-browser command in the autostart file with:
@vivaldi-stable --disable-vivaldi --kiosk http://localhost:1880/dashboard/
