player-demo-chromeapp is a Chrome App, responsible for launching Viewer to display predefined demo content from Rise Vision - our digital signage management application. More information about Viewer can be found in the Rise-Vision/viewer repository. Because player-chromeapp was built on the Chrome App architecture, we are able to provide a flexible Player for the Rise Vision digital signage application that can run on Chrome OS, Linux, Windows and MAC
player-demo-chromeapp works in conjunction with Rise Vision, the digital signage management application that runs on Google Cloud.
At this time Chrome is the only browser that this project and Rise Vision supports.

player-demo-chromeapp uses the standard Chrome App architecture. To facilitate communication between Viewer and player, two local web servers are created using chrome.socket library.
- Player “js/player/player.js” running on port 9449 handles viewer commands.
- Cache “js/cache/cache.js” running on port 9494 is cache server for video files.
- "Rise Vision Digital Signage Demo" can be ran from the Chrome App Launcher
- Player will open full screen on primary monitor running demo content.
