Displaying Video by pressing button

@DIYfirsttime mmm-buttons still works, just the update process is broken
use my fork

anything that uses gpio needs to have the binary match the electron version, and so needs a rebuild as part of the install.

his old way doesn’t work anymore.

@sdetweil Thank you for explaining to me how to get MMM-Buttons working.

To keep this Post still as an request I would like to know if there is a “fix” for MMM-Podcast2 or is someone working or wants to work on a module like this.
That I can use my physical button to play and stop a Video.

@DIYfirsttime omxplayer, used by podcast module, no longer works on later raspios versions. not a MagicMirror problem.

someone would have to find another solution and fix module, if possible.

Hallo,

i have Installed Buttons, Navigate, Podcast2, MplayerRadio, Dreambox etc.
The “Tagesschau 100sec.” works, watching TV from the reciever also works. All at the touch of a button. :-)
I have also installed OMX player and it works great.

Thanks to all the help in between from sdetweil everything is running ;-)
