CEF Does not Initialize Javascript On Page

Get Help
1

I have a div to display yo.window weather for the local area, and the page javascript does not initialize when the display settings are using Embedded Chrome.

I am using Xibo Client 1.7.4

This is the layout detail:

<div style="width:1920px; height:1080px;">
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://swf.yowindow.com/yowidget3.swf" width="1920" height="1080" zoom="200%">
	<param name="movie" value="http://swf.yowindow.com/yowidget3.swf"/>
	<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>
	<param name="wmode" value="opaque"/>
	<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/>
	<param name="flashvars" 
	value="location_id=gn:5146286&location_name=Avon%20Lake&time_format=12&unit_system=us&background=#FFFFFF©right_bar=false"/>
    <a href="http://WeatherScreenSaver.com?client=widget&link=copyright"
    style="width:1920px;height:1080px;display: block;text-indent: -50000px;font-size: 0px;background:#DDF url(http://yowindow.com/img/logo.png) no-repeat scroll 50% 50%;">HTML weather</a>
    </object>
</div>
<div style="width: 1920px; height: 15px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="float:left;"><a target="_top" href="http://WeatherScreenSaver.com?client=widget&link=copyright" style="color: #2fa900; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;" title="Weather Widget">YoWindow.com</a></span>
<span style="float:right; color:#888888;">Forecast by <a href="http://www.weather.gov" style="color: #2fa900; text-decoration:none;">NWS</a></span>
</div>

JavaScript never initializes while using CEF; however, standard IE functions as expected.

CEF is still in an experimental not-fully-working state, we would definitely suggest not using it for production, we also won’t be continuing to develop the CEF functionality.
I can confirm what you said - this code is not working with CEF enabled :frowning:

In 1.8 we want to introduce new cross platform(Windows/Linux) player,which is also likely to have an overhaul in this version.

OH! That is very good news. Do you have a potential release date for the cross platform player?

Nothing solid I am afraid.
