Preload remote HTML page

In a Brightsign prestentation, we have:

  • 1 JPG image --> plays 20 seconds
  • 1 HTML site for the news / weather 

After the JPG image was shown for 20 seconds, the player will begin to load the HTML site. Each time there's a loading time of 3 seconds.

Is there a way to load HTML site in the background 3 seconds before it's visible? In our case at the 17th second of the JPG image. So there will be a seamless transition.

    Hi,

    I would suggest that you put the image and the HTML page in different zones and then use the Hide and Show zone advanced command to display the content that you want on screen (Advance tab > Add Command > Other > Hide or Show zone).

    Regards,

    Romeo

    Could be a workaround.

    Unfortunately, there's a CSS ease-in animation when the HTML loads.

    Perhaps you could do it all in HTML, and preload the web page into an iframe a few seconds ahead of showing it?
