![]() ![]() kweb Minimal Kiosk Browser was developed especially for the raspberry Pi in the days when the Pi had very limited RAM and CPU/GPU power, so it has very low overheads and runs fast.Īs far as I know, omxplayer (used by kweb) is still limited to 1080p. I'm going to update this post, because I have had the chance to experiment more with the Pi 4, and although I believe the original post was about the Pi 3B+, people with the Pi 4 might be finding this thread.įor a fast, lightweight browser to play video in various ways, kweb is excellent, provided you don't want to try watching 4k. Especially for the way it works to play YouTube videos. I believe omxplayer only processes up to 1080p video these days, which is a pity with the Pi 4 doing 4k, but all in all, kweb is nice to have for speedy configurable browser without a lot of rubbish added to it. But once you see what can be accomplished from the layout, thinks like a big, obvious button to toggle javascript, similar buttons to zoom in, zoom out, or choose between zoom text only and zoom everything (to name just a few useful things) it is interesting to have. Kweb uses very light resources and an old fashioned looking layout. Actually by a998, any time I opened StarOffice, it 'bacame' a 'Desktop' interface. Kweb can be used as a desktop replacement, in much the same way as StarOffice could on Linux around 1998. ![]() ![]() Also, the omxplayerGUI manual is interesting, because kweb can be used to configure quite a lot of omxplayerGUI settings. It is quite long and detailed, but some of the information is quite interesting there are links to it on this forum). This is a reply to an old post, but if you still haven't played with kweb, perhaps check out the Manual. ![]()
