Displaying Power BI Web Reports As SlideShow

AGo ,

Thanks for commenting! I actually wasn't familiar with Canary until I saw your post from earlier this morning!

In regards to your problem, I'm not entirely sure what could be causing that at the moment. I know that the extension writes and read variables from Chrome.Storage - and it's the synchronous storage option, if that's useful - so when you say that reports start on their own, I'm thinking that the extension is retrieving variables that have been retained from a previous use (for the same report and the same Workspace), and that's what's allowing it to start automatically. Otherwise, for a newly navigated-to report, you have to manually start it with the Play button.

Assuming my above hypothesis is correct, then I'm guessing it's going into a loop like it was with me a few days ago, and - for whatever reason - the loop only occasionally ends and the extension successfully activates.

I've had several other users over the past few weeks comment on GitHub issues in my repository stating that the extension is not working with the "Old Mode" user interface (I haven't added code to make it work with the "New Look" user interface still).

I'm glad to report, however, that as of less than a week ago, I published a new release of the extension: v2.2.1.

If you haven't done so already, please remove your previous version of the extension from Canary and Chrome and download this new version. I had to change the javsacript code because the Power BI Team has changed some of their underlying HTML code on Power BI Report pages.

If this doesn't solve your issue, please open up an issue in my repository or respond on here!

Thanks!

Best Regards,

Daniel
