Hello everyone,

first of all, if this is the wrong board, please move this thread to the right one.

Now to the module itself:

Why?

Halloween is coming around, and we thought, what could be better, then producing some jump scares. Since we failed to get it going with existing modules (like MMM-EasyBack) I created a new one.

What?

This module shows (if wanted) a bait image to lure people in and shows after a specified time either a random image (should be scary) or a random video. The videos can be either with or without sound, depending on the settings in your browser.

How?

The module creates for all images and videos hidden objects in the DOM. When the time has come one randomly chosen object will be selected, revealed and if it is a video the play parameter set to true. I know, I know, that is a pretty brute attempt, but if I updated the DOM with a single new video, it would not play. Furthermore I could find no notification or module, that could have informed my module to start playing the video, after the DOM has been refreshed…

Where?

For installation guidelines and the code follow this link.

What’s missing?

It’s quite BETA, so expect some changes to be made in the future. Feedback is (as always) appreciated.

What the module still lacks is the possibility to react to a motion sensor or a different module, that can send notifications. This will come (hopefully) in the next few days, when the package with the motion sensor gets delivered

@mecco86 you should open an issue on the module github page to engage the module author…

looks like the api being used has changed

Not work i see in log this
MMM Bose error in fetcher {“res”:“error”,“body”:“This is an error”}

Hello @Kiina,

Is there a way to limit the number of characters in the episode’s name? In some cases they are quite long

@vintage89, after a very long time I manged to get some time to review. The latest update to MMM-Instagram2020 solves the above issue by automating the whole authentication process.
Details in the Readme: https://github.com/AlexanderSalter/MMM-Instagram2020/blob/master/README.md

@sdetweil sorry it took so long to reply back. I’ve been kinda busy.
So yes, if you want to listen to the radio station 103 you would say

Jarvis Turn the radio on to 103

@cowboysdude Yes Cowboydude… Thanks for the reply. I do know about the dark sessions but this is where it stops and the only way to start it again is to click on the triangle in the circle in the center of the image…
But it does start again for another hour or so… Can’t narrow it down to anything more specific…
Dennis

Love this. Just got my board up and running and plan to integrate this asap !

@lolobyte I know, but that is incorrect…

my open issue asks to change the doc

Is there any module can play http://mixlr.com online radio?

@N6NG weird, GitHub didn’t find it…

anyhow

open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i,
and select the console tab.

enter a unique part of the module name in the filter field. conf for example

see if there are any errors

also, this module needs the request lib,

Hi guys - there’s a new version of the module out that should fix the Dropbox API issue. Please try it out and see if it works for you.

@n6ng Thanks for your helpful post. I have a question that’s a bit off-topic. Does anyone know where the best image editing app is? I want a wallpaper for Android. …

@brandongomez Sorry about that! Sometimes I need to restart the Sonos-Node-HTTP module to make sure it’s broadcasting.

@skuethe Thanks. U was asking about Multi-user way back in this thread before you started maintenance. I’d think this might be great for visualization. But I think It’d need an additional multi-user view (and personally, I like to use the bar menu)

@benexus I can’t help for this, because i don’t have PS :/

@sdetweil
Thank you, I wanted to use the Face Recog function to play a message when it recognises a face.
This would be a simlpe mp3 saying something like " Hello XXXXX" .

I was hoping to do this using this module by using classes, but thnk you for pointing out this would not work.
Do you know what I could use, before you starting talkimg real techy, I am a novice and no real coding experience.

@sdetweil Sound advise I’ll be sure to remember it! Honeslty makes thing easier too I hate having to edit scripts to communicate to each other in other forms of development haha

@ankonaskiff17 You will see a message saying “The owners of this video don’t allow their content to be embedded in other web pages.” or something similar to that when you try to show it in an iFrame.

@joeronimo i do not know… they have been increasing the controls here to stop autoplay, cause customers are screaming…

i still yell at my phone browser every day cause it plays something I don’t think it should.
