Is there any way to have the monitor that is connected to my Pi’s HDMI port display something along the line of the web interface?
If so, that would be great!
Simple thing is probably to run view1090 - that’ll give you a text-mode listing.
The more complex thing is to actually start X and … show the web interface in a browser 
(“startx”, or use raspi-config to configure X to start on boot, or you could adapt something like this: blogs.wcode.org/2013/09/howto-bo … ser-kiosk/)
