Hey Everyone,
I am looking for a KVM that supports HTML5. It seems the current Lantronix doesn’t support it, but maybe I am mistaken?

Can anyone point me towards a KVM device that does support HTML5?
The Lantronix Spider and SpiderDuo both now support HTML5 for the viewer with the latest firmware. Virtual media is still Java only.
I think the first version of the HTML5-capable firmware was pulled and then later re-released because of problems, which is what that reddit thread talks about.
Thank you so much!
Which one would you suggest. The spider, or spider duo?
SpiderDuo is basically hardware v2.0. It has VGA/USB cables that can be replaced, so that gives it a slight edge. The VGA cable wears out eventually. I have several Spiders from probably close to 15 years ago that I had to throw away because the video cable and/or VGA connector wore out.
If any of you run into this kind of issue again (v1), I would be interested in attempting to rebuild the video cable for you (probably just a little soldering) (you pay shipping). (electronics hobbyist, and landfill critic).
PS. This offer is “as time and resources allow”
