Yeah, this has been discussed a bit before.
Terms (for Clarity)
Player View is a specific tool within the GM Version of the application that allows the GM to show things to the players "live", best used on a second monitor.
Player Mode is a setting in the GM Version of the application that allows the GM Version to "act like" the Player Version (though it sometimes can't hide everything, based on past comments).
Player Version and
GM Version are the ways the application operates, based on your logged-in account and whether that account is the Owner of the Realm (GM Version) or a guest in that Realm (Player Version). It is the same software.. it just behaves differently based on your account settings. Even if you have a GM Account, if you're logged-in as a guest/player in a Realm, you only see the Player Version functionality. A Player Account is
always a Player, while a GM Account can be either a Player or GM, depending on the Realm.
I make a point of the terms because there is usually some mis-use of them when the discussions start.. such as you calling the Player copies "player's view"... which is, unfortunately, the name of something else related to the topic.
So before anyone can give good advice, we need to make sure we're all clear on what's what.
So, yeah, live update to the player's copies is NOT supported at this time. It has been requested, and the eventual web access may help that somewhat -- though it is likely that the GM would still need to sync changes before they appear in the web view. Even when GM web access is added (someday... no timeframe yet), it will likely have less features than the desktop client (caveats: based on past comments, subject to change, etc.).
Realm Works is not a VTT or competitor to VTTs.. it is not intended for live updates to the Players' copy at the table. The main intended use of the Player Version is for checking things between sessions. If you're already using a VTT like d20Pro, planning to use that for your dynamic displays might be the best bet.If you have a second monitor, or don't mind adding one, then the Player View tool in the GM Version might be a good solution for you.
