Updated to 8.1.7 from 8.1.3
SCADA is displayed on a Samsung smart signage display, this uses the Tizen browser (2.1.1)
After updating the gateway the screen loads correctly (without any error logs) but then the main page is completely white. Not a massive thing for me, I am going to add some sort of computer with an HDMI cable as the current solution is very slow, but I figured I would report it anyways
Unfortunately I see no logs that show any sort of error, nothing in wrapper.log either
This might be a known regression that’s fixed in 8.1.8 - are you able to try a nightly build?
The system is still in it’s beginning stage, so yes I could. Any idea when 8.1.8 would be stable?
Also could you give insight to what this issue might be?
As I understand it, we upgraded a dependency, but the new version relies on certain methods that aren’t available in some browser contexts. The fix is to use something called a polyfill; a scripted method to deliver the same result even if the “native” method isn’t available on a particular browser.
The release note item calls out iOS, but we’ve seen reports of issues on other systems: Nightly 8.1 Changelogs - 2021 - #94 by sreis
Projected release of 8.1.8 final is early August.
Okay thanks, I will upgrade to the latest nightly build and give you feedback tomorrow
Same issue on iPhone - see forum post here. Would be very helpful if you could report whether updating to the nightly build fixed that bug for you. Its more difficult to move two production systems to a new version without an update schedule.
Thanks in advance!
Good news!
Back and running again, I upgraded to the latest nightly build.
On a side note, the tizen browser is crap, let’s be honest. I expected a lot of issues, but it has been running okay for the last couple of months, figured that maybe the browser isn’t that bad, not realising that IA had to pull all kinds of tricks to get it working. Very impressive guys, keep up the good work
hey, so it looks like this was fixed in 8.1.9, we had done some testing to see if this would work for us with that build. I found out today that any project on a 8.1.13 or 14 server results in a black screen in the browser. no other messages , no perspective loading screen, just all black window.
Hi All,
We’ve the same pb with a Samsung QB24R Business TV. A simple page with a label is viewable on 8.1.5 but not in 8.1.10+. Tried today with 8.1.14 same blank page.
I know Tizen browser (and generally speaking tv browser are crap), but we have no ideal solution at the moment. We’ve 20+ of them. One solution would be to use Workstation with a RPI4 attached to the HDMI, but it’s almost impossible to buy 20+ RPI4 here.
I tested the Tizen Browser and here is the result: http://html5test.com/s/0742b458f7ad21b4.html; hopefully someone will be able to say what html5 feature is missing. By the way, the web browser identify itself as Chrome 56.0.2924.0.
Any help is welcome!
im guessing its some of the scripting features (ecma6) that are missing.
