  • For the multi-seating aspect, I’ve just set up something similar using something called a KVM Extender (I got this one). I have my PC set up in my office and another seat set up in my bedroom.

    The KVM essentially just transports HDMI and USB a long distance through an ethernet cable, so the bedroom monitor just appears as a second monitor. I’ve set up a keyboard combination to switch between enabled monitors so only one is turned on at once.

    Not sure how many seats you could push with this, since you would need a set of KVM extender boxes per seat with its own HDMI/Display and USB ports in the PC. Might be something to look into in case it fits!





  • I’m currently working hard on something to fill this void! I’ve made HomeHook v2 as a web app and HomeCast as an mpv interface installed on my HTPC and some Pis I have around the house!

    I still need to document the installation procedure but if you’re interested in playing stuff from Jellyfin and YouTube, feel free to send me a message and I’ll see if I can help out!

    I’m not sure I could make a transparent overlay on top of MPV with just a Firefox kiosk.

    Also, I’m curious why I should avoid Electron? Do you have another framework to suggest that would let me do this?

    I’m not against learning new things if they’re more adequate for my project!
