Issue using visualizer on Raspberry Pi with monitor

General

Trying to use the visualizer with PLR running of raspberry pi with a monitor. It works on my mac but when I try to run it on VS Code on the pi I get this:

Getting http://127.0.0.1:1337/

And the cell never finishes running. If i go to the link, I can visualize the deck and if I interrupt the cell then its all fine. So it seems like the visualizer is working but the cell never finishes running and you can’t proceed without interrupring. Any advice on troubleshooting this?

i think it has to do with the default browser

the string “Use right-arrow or to activate” appears here: https://lynx.invisible-island.net/lynx2.8.4/breakout/LYMessages_en.h

lynx is a “text based web browser”

PLR calls webbrowser.open if the visualizer is initialized with open_browser=True (default)

can you try:

visualizer = Visualizer(..., open_browser=False)

That worked! It just gave the server link and then that opened to the default browser!
