    I am wanting to set up a second display (not directly connected to the RPi) using a browser on a Amazon Firestick, but the modules are all stacked on top of each other like it is really zoomed in. I have the main one set up in a different room and I have it set to the sizing I want and it fits nicely, then when I view it through the tv browser, it doesn’t fill the whole screen (it looks like it is just squished into the top left corner of the screen) and the modules seem way too big. Viewing throught the browser works on my 27" monitor when using my PC, but the tv browser does not work the same way. I tried to cast the tab from a PC to a chromecast instead and while it does work, it is too blurry and pixelated for me to read most of the time. I couldn’t think of any other solutions, if I could just change the sizing on the tv browser without changing the original RPi display set up in another room but I haven’t figured out how. If anyone has tried something similar or knows another potential solution, I would much appreciate the help! Thank you!

      @superior_carter the client devices have no impact on each other.

      the style info is fixed however and does not adjust for differet screen sizes…
      it appears the browser on the device has reported an incorrect or confusing dimension or the browser does not support the css attributes used…

      also note that we use the latest javascript idioms. and many of the fixed browser devices (tablets and tvs) are old and cannot be updated…

      when I joined here in 2017 my mirror would show on my Samsung tv, now it is a black screen.

        @sdetweil damn that’s a bummer! I will just have to go back to the chromecast and adjust text size and colours i guess, thanks for your help!
