Problems loading on iOS 9.x

[Chris Fourie]

Hi there,

I've been very impressed with Picapport, but I can't seem to get my older iPad to load any pages. I get a ReferenceError:

"Can't find variables: PaUtils"

stack:http://IP/js/picapport-db-min.js:1:171

global code@http://IP/js/picapport-db-min.js:1:14963.

I've tried various JDK version on a linux VM, and even the Windows installer, but no luck.

The iOS version can't run Chrome, so only Safari works. I was hoping Picapport would allow me to use the couple old iPads I have laying around as picture frames.

Is this an issue with the browser, or Picapport? Should I try an older version?

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi Chris,

old iPads as picture frames is a good idea :) I also got one laying around useless.

What you describe is a front-end problem in the old browser which is unaware of newer Javascript features. Unfortunately Safari is dusty old on these devices. There are two things you can do I think:

1.

Try an older version of PicApport which uses an old Webinterface (but then the complete program is old and lacks of all the good features)

2 

Use the API of PicApport, organise your photos with the latest version and make your own "Viewer" component (Website which loads and shows the pictures/slideshows but with way less features in the fronted)

So, I would recommend the second approach. Are you a programmer? - Maybe there exists a lightweight fronted anywhere?
 

Regards!
