You should be able to control this by changing the BrowserMod configuration that says 'show sidebar'. This MIGHT happen even if you didn't toggle this on. If you didn't, try toggling it on and then back off. I will revisit BM in another video focused on the daskboard/view control. This initial BM video is really focused on exposing the media_player device for audio playback. Let me know if you are still having trouble and I'll try and help more. You can also join the VA Discord if you want more realtime help. Thanks for your interest in VA
It's not just you. Wallpanel media playback does not work. I haven't gotten it to work on any device. I think the media playback feature is broken. If I'm wrong about that, please tell me how you got it to work. Otherwise I guess I'll have to buy a Fully Kiosk Plus license for my panels.
Hey there. I posted an update in the description saying: "NOTE: In the video I had problems hearing the audio. This was resolved by restarting the tablet. Also ensure that the tablet volume is set to a good level. Also, anytime you see the 'Browser Mod' text at the bottom right of the tablet screen you must click the screen anywhere to enable control. You will note that the text goes away when control is enabled." I have used Browsermod on four different devices and they all work for media player devices. The only time I had an issue was with Android 8.1 on the Thinsmart device but that ROM could not play sound through the browser for RUclips or any other service browsermod included. Hope that helps!

@@homeautomationstation Thanks for the suggestions, but to be clear, I never said Browsermod media playback didn't work. It works great with Fully Kiosk and other browsers. I have not yet gotten Browsermod media playback to work when using Wallpanel as the browser. I do see the Browsermod icon come up and I tap it. Other functions of Browsermod work in Wallpanel, like popups and whatnot, but media playback just stays silent and if you look at the media player entity in home assistant it says it's playing media but never returns to a stopped state unless I unregister the browser or restart home assistant. Again, the only common denominator in this issue is Wallpanel. Browsermod works perfectly with other browsers including Fully Kiosk. I will state that the only tablets I've run it on are Amazon HD 8 and HD10, and some old Lenovo tablets. It could well be a compatibility problem there. Thanks for the attempt to help though, and keep up the good work on the videos. They have been very helpful.
Worked like a charme. To get the Tablet speaking you have to click on the orange browser mod button in the down right corner on the tablet again!
almost everything is working so far, thank you so much, I'm setting up a phone (Oneplus with android 10).
Excellent! Would love to hear about your experience. Consider joining us on Discord. It's a friendly bunch for sure.
I went through your process, now I have no side panels visible. Any suggestions about how to get them back?
