[SlimDevices: Plugins] Display a webpage

[2+5]

I'm curious if it would be possible to have a screensaver display a
webpage. I have jivelight running on picoreplayer with the Raspberry
touchscreen. I'd like to find a way to have the screensaver display a
magicmirror page hosted on a separate server.  Then I could use the
touchscreen as more of a home dashboard that can also control LMS.

Bummer.  That's what I figured unfortunately.  Would it be technically
possible to run a standard OS on the Pi that could switch into Jivelite
(instead of running PCP)? I'm thinking have the Pi boot directly into
kiosk mode displaying MagicMirror and having a button in there to launch
Jivelite. Then when you quit Jivelite have it go back to the browser. I
suppose another alternative would be to just have an iframe in MM that
shows the material skin.
