Synchronized browsers

Postby Marcin » Mon Nov 03, 2014 4:35 am

Is there any implementation for synchronized browser functionality using CEF, i.e. multiple browsers shows the same content and every user action (navigating, clicking, scrolling) performed on one of the browser is synchronised with the others ...

No, but you could implement something like that yourself using available APIs. For example, use off-screen rendering and send the same events to each browser.

thanks. Yep, current API allows a lot. OSR is out of question as I wanted it to work on remote location and sending bitmap buffer would be a traffic killer, plus I wanted concurrent use, any action on any browser is replicated in all. Websocket server solution that is not CEF dependent would be nice. OK, I'll investigate and maybe start with sth simple ....

It might be possible using the DevTools remote debugging protocol which uses a WebSockets connection, but there would be latency.
