There are a number of different launch modes as follows:



http://lmsipaddress:9000/Material - will launch Material in automatic mode or the mode chosen under Settings


http://lmsipadress:9000/Material/Desktop - will launch Material in Desktop mode


http://lmsipaddress:9000/Material/Mobile - will launch Material in Mobile mode


http://lmsipaddress:9000/Material/now-playing - will launch Material in Expanded Now Playing Mode with no queue etc




It is also possible to open the Mini Player directly using http://lmsipaddress:9000/Material/mini-player but this is best launched from within Material running in app mode

 

See instructions for running Material in app mode - Android / iOS / PC



Selecting start-up player

Material skin will restore the previously used player on start-up except where you set a default player for the particular browser instance - see Player Selection
To accomplish this, it stores the player's ID (its MAC address) in your browser's local storage. If you clean cookies, etc, then this setting will be cleared. 



Debugging

Material skin uses LMS's JSONRPC and Cometd interfaces to send commands and receive updates. To see (some) of the messages Material skin sends, and the messages received, start Material skin as follows:


http://lmsipaddress:9000/?debug=json - JSONRPC

http://lmsipaddress:9000/?debug=cometd - Cometd

http://lmsipaddress:9000/?debug=json, cometd - Both


Launch your browser Developer Tools (usually F12) to view output.
