Selenium for second-screen login flows
30 Apr 2025.
You can use Selenium to automate browser-based user journeys on a second screen, from the same Stb-tester Python script that is automating the big screen journey. For example, many TV apps use a browser-based login flow, where the TV screen shows a code that you type into a browser on your phone or computer.
Here’s a short demo signing into the BBC iPlayer app. We use Stb-tester’s ocr API to read the sign-in code from the TV screen, and then we enter it into the browser using Selenium.
For detailed instructions see Selenium for second-screen login flows in the Stb-tester manual.
