Pi4 dual screen setup kiosk mode

[fagnic]

Hi to all
As newbie here I have a demand on Pi4 to setup kiosk on both displays (Chromium or Firefox)

Kind regards

Cool.

But what is your question?

[fagnic]

The case is that both displays working OK
But I would like to setup when Pi boots automaticly opens both screens
1st screen automatically opens Chromium and open webpage in kiosk mode
2nd screen also opens another webpage which can be the same or not
Its not mandatory to be Chromium

So, you can have 2x1080p60 displays or 2x4kp30 displays.

You can run stuff on startup, that's a common question. Just open two instances of Chromium or whatever.

The main question is
How to automatically open two instances of Chromium

Anyone ?

Hello. After reading many posts and trying a lot i found this solution. I hope it helps.
Very important is the '&' character after the first chromium call. There are also many parameters included that are very useful in kiosk mode.
Place this 2 lines into your startup file.

@chromium-browser --new-window --user-data-dir=/tmp/browser-1 --window-position="0,0" --start-fullscreen --kiosk --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --incognito --noerrdialogs --disable-translate --no-first-run --fast --fast-start --disable-infobars --disable-features=TranslateUI --disk-cache-dir=/dev/null http://google.com &

@chromium-browser --new-window --user-data-dir=/tmp/browser-2 --window-position="1920,0" --start-fullscreen --kiosk --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --incognito --noerrdialogs --disable-translate --no-first-run --fast --fast-start --disable-infobars --disable-features=TranslateUI --disk-cache-dir=/dev/null http://bing.com

I am trying this now and for some reason it simply opens both browser instances in one screen.
Any possible solutions?
