# Pipic

Pipic is software for making slideshows. The idea is that you have one server,
running a pipic server, and have as many clients as necessary which just
display the website hosted by the pipic server.

## Usage

1. Copy `conf.json.example` to `conf.json`, and change the desired preferences.
   You may for example want to change `slides` to something other than
   'exampleSlides'.
2. Run `node server.js`.
3. Point your clients to the site hosted by the pipic server.

## meta.json

Each slide has a file called meta.json, with some metadata about the slide. It
has the following options:

* **disabled**: Set to `true` to disable the slide.
* **interval**: Override the interval setting in conf.json.

## Automatic fullscreen

There are multiple ways for a client to automatically display the website in
fullscreen.

### Firefox

The easiest way for Firefox is to go to about:config and change
`full-screen-api.allow-trusted-requests-only` to false, and the website will
automatically fullscreen itself. You could also change
`full-screen-api.warning.timeout` to 0 to disable the warning telling you the
website is fullscreen.

### Chrome/Chromium

You could start Chrome/Chromium with the `--start-fullscreen` flag, and the
browser will automatically start in fullscreen mode. For some reason, Chrome
seems to have issues when started from a plain X session without a window
manager though, so I would advise using Firefox.
