Before building, you need to install the following packages:
libqt5webkit5-dev
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
libdbus-glib-1-dev
Building:
qmake
make
make install
You can change the folder to build:
export PREFIX=/home/pi/webview_build/
Besides, you need to copy res folder to /usr/local/bin/ScreenlyWebview/res
To prepare for a release, use the docker container:
$ docker run --rm \
-e VERSION=*version* \
-v $(pwd):/Screenly-webview \
screenly/screenly-webview-build
DBus is used for communication.
Webview registers screenly.webvew object at /Screenly address on the session bus.
Webview provides 2 methods:loadPage and loadImage.
Example of interaction (python):
from pydbus import SessionBus
bus = SessionBus()
browser_bus = bus.get('screenly.webview', '/Screenly')
browser_bus.loadPage("www.example.com")
