FTMS-Rower

Webapp for rowers with FTMS protocol support. Will have soon support for video playback.

Note

Currently this is a proof-of concept and progress will be documented here:

Contributions welcome :)

Usage

1.) clone the repo into your webserver directory
2.) put a video named "video.mp4" into the video-folder
3.) open page in your browser on your android based phone or tablet - see the list of supported browsers
4.) connect your rowing machine with the "connect"-button
5.) exercise and enjoy :)

Supported browsers

Use Google Chrome on Android, Windows 10, Mac (M1 or Intel) and Ubuntu, but not iOS.

The Webapp is running directly in the browser and relies on some of the latest web technologies. Browsers like Firefox and Safari don't have support for them. On iOS Safari is the only allowed browser, and even Chrome for iOS is just Safari with a Chrome skin. Browser support for the web version is the following:

Chrome	Edge	Opera	Chrome Android	Samsung Internet	Firefox	Safari	Safari iOS	Chrome iOS
yes	yes	yes	yes	yes	no	no	no	no

Browser configs

On Chrome, Edge and Opera for Linux you might need to turn on the experimental platforms feature flag at

Chrome: chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features
Edge: edge://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features
Opera: opera://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features
