TL;DR

This is a follow up to Raspberry Pi Full Screen Browser (2020-05-27-raspios-buster). How to remove the boot messages, icons, customize the boot splash image and background desktop. Also, how to add scripts to control reboot, shutdown, refresh of screens, switch tabs and turn the display(s) on and off without shutting down the Raspberry Pi.

tl;dr

Setup a Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian) to boot into a full screen web browser, hiding mouse pointer, disabling screen saver. Includes installing additional fonts, putting the browser in kiosk mode and dual screen for Raspberry Pi 4 B.

How to configure a Raspberry Pi to receive IR input from a remote control using the new kernel drivers, ir-keytable & ir-ctl, rather then LIRC. Then using that input to run a script to reboot the device.

tl;dr

Switch browser tabs without browser extensions or plugins, using xdotool and crontab.

Would you like to use a remote control to control your computer? How about using your computer to send remote control signals to your TV or Stereo instead of using the remote?

This is the fourth in a series of posts where I will describe how to use a Raspberry Pi, Raspbian and Linux Infrared Remote Control (Lirc) to receive and send infrared remote control signals. This post will be focused on how to trigger applications and depends on Linux Infrared Control Part 1: Receive IR and Linux Infrared Control Part 2: Send IR.
