Is there a way to tell caspar/chromium to ignore SSL certificates when playing HTML5 templates? Somewhat related question: Is there a way of seeing the javascript console output of the page which is loaded? ---

Setup a remote-debugging-port in the config and look at this [HTML Remote Debugging: document.registerElement](https://casparcgforum.org/t/html-remote-debugging-document-registerelement/2765/2) IIRC you should be able to start casparcg.exe like this to ignore SSL: “casparcg.exe --allow-running-insecure-content” Otherwise check the other CLI options for CEF [https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/](https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/) I run several hard-coded options in my own CCG builds: ```auto command_line->AppendSwitchWithValue("default-encoding", "utf-8"); command_line->AppendSwitchWithValue("autoplay-policy", "no-user-gesture-required"); command_line->AppendSwitch("allow-file-access-from-files"); command_line->AppendSwitch("allow-insecure-localhost"); command_line->AppendSwitch("allow-running-insecure-content"); command_line->AppendSwitch("disable-web-security"); command_line->AppendSwitch("enable-experimental-web-platform-features"); command_line->AppendSwitch("bwsi"); command_line->AppendSwitch("disable-sync"); command_line->AppendSwitch("javascript-harmony"); command_line->AppendSwitch("no-user-gesture-required"); command_line->AppendSwitch("no-proxy-server"); command_line->AppendSwitch("disable-background-timer-throttling"); command_line->AppendSwitch("disable-backgrounding-occluded-windows"); command_line->AppendSwitch("disable-renderer-backgrounding"); command_line->AppendSwitch("use-fake-ui-for-media-stream"); command_line->AppendSwitchWithValue("default-background-color", "00000000"); command_line->AppendSwitchWithValue("force-device-scale-factor", "1"); command_line->AppendSwitchWithValue("device-scale-factor", "1"); command_line->AppendSwitch("off-screen-rendering-enabled"); command_line->AppendSwitchWithValue("off-screen-frame-rate", "50"); command_line->AppendSwitch("enable-font-aliasing"); command_line->AppendSwitchWithValue("font-render-hinting", "max"); command_line->AppendSwitchWithValue("force-color-profile", "srgb"); command_line->AppendSwitchWithValue("disable-features", "AsyncWheelEvents, TouchpadAndWheelScrollLatching, ColorCorrectRendering, HardwareMediaKeyHandling"); command_line->AppendSwitch("disable-renderer-accessibility"); command_line->AppendSwitch("disable-notifications"); command_line->AppendSwitch("disable-permissions-api"); command_line->AppendSwitch("mute-audio"); command_line->AppendSwitchWithValue("js-flags", "--expose-gc"); command_line->AppendSwitch("disable-main-frame-before-activation"); command_line->AppendSwitchWithValue("num-raster-threads", "2"); ``` ---

Thanks for the suggestions. When I try starting 2.3 with that directive I get the error: “### Invalid configuration file. ###” and Caspar quits. When starting Caspar should Chromium command line options work? ---

Check your config file [https://casparcg.net/validator/](https://casparcg.net/validator/) ---

Thanks. My config file checks out and Caspar works fine when I launch it directly without any command line directives. When I add the “–allow-running-insecure-content” flag I get the config error along with “At --allow-running-insecure-content:0: read error.” What am I doing wrong? ---

You might need to do it as “casparcg.exe casparcg.config –allow-running-insecure-content” ---

Thanks again for the help. That command worked. I also got the remote Chrome console working which is pretty neat. FWIW, the server I was connecting to was missing the intermediate SSL certificate. This error was not apparent on any other system (other browsers showed a valid certificate) but the lack of that configuration resulted in caspar not being able to connect and not returning any errors I could find. Even when starting caspar with the –allow-running-insecure-content flag, it simply would fail silently. In the end I added an intermediate cert and now Caspar is displaying HTML from that host. I probably should have tried the --ignore-certificate-errors flag. Oh well.
