Winter 2021 - Igloo Home: Using Igloo Home Browser

When Igloo Home starts a server is started at the same time which allows a user to control what content is played through a web browser on whatever device is connected to the same network. The browser view can be accessed by typing the local IP address followed by “:9011” and “/layout”. For example: 192.168.0.1:9011/layout. If typed correctly you will get the following view

With the active layout being displayed.

From here if Igloo Home is in run mode content can be selected by clicking on the thumbnails. Once a piece of content is being displayed, unlike in Igloo Home normal run mode you can select another piece of content and it will immediately change without the need of returning to the home screen first. You can still return to the home screen by clicking anywhere on the background though.
