Motivation¶

Don't confuse the user by showing the last frame of the live view even after the VM was stopped.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: Clear user feedback is provided if no live view data is available

Suggestions¶

• Can we use a spinner maybe with a text message and maybe a less big frame than 1024x768 white box that is replaced when there is content?
• dheidler should look up from ancient page or git tutorial where the static replacement image is
• Look at the current java script code and the live view template page, compare to the spinner we have on the index page of openQA where we use "fa fa-circle-o-notch fa-spin fa-4x" in https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/blob/master/templates/webapi/main/index.html.ep#L25
• A good starting point might be the SSE EventSource endpoint sending the PNG frames to the client
• When the test is finished it might be the easiest if os-autoinst deletes or replaces the last png with something stating that the machine is shut down so that openQA automatically picks it up correctly
