MP3 Player

Sam I appreciate you are a teacher and honestly I know that you help and teach everyone around here. I believe I am nearly there with this mp3 player module but its just the ui is not that aesthetic, hence why I thought of changing it.

however I did build another module some what a religious one but it can be used as an mp3 player if one wishes. here are the files:

MMM-QuranPlayer.js:

Module.register("MMM-QuranPlayer", {
    // Default module config.
    defaults: {},


    // start method
    start: function() {
        this.reciters = [];
        this.selectedReciter = null;
        this.surahs = [];
        this.selectedSurah = null;
        this.sendSocketNotification("GET_RECITERS");
        this.currentIndex = 0; 
    },

    getStyles: function() {
        return ["MMM-QuranPlayer.css"];
    },

    // Override dom generator to build the UI
    getDom: function() {
        var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
        wrapper.className = "MMM-QuranPlayer";

        var leftPanel = document.createElement("div");
        leftPanel.className = "left-panel";
        var rightPanel = document.createElement("div");
        rightPanel.className = "right-panel";

        this.audioPlayer = document.createElement("audio");
        this.audioPlayer.className = "audio-player";
        this.audioPlayer.controls = true;
        rightPanel.appendChild(this.audioPlayer);

        this.reciters.forEach((reciter) => {
            var folderElement = document.createElement("div");
            folderElement.innerHTML = reciter;
            folderElement.className = "folder";
            folderElement.onclick = () => {
                this.selectedReciter = reciter;
                this.sendSocketNotification("GET_SURAH_LIST", reciter);
            };
            leftPanel.appendChild(folderElement);
        });

        var surahListElement = document.createElement("div");
        surahListElement.className = "surah-list";
        leftPanel.appendChild(surahListElement);

var controls = ["Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Next", "Previous"];
controls.forEach((control) => {
    var controlElement = document.createElement("div");
    controlElement.innerHTML = control;
    controlElement.className = "control";
    // Bind the actual functionalities here, inside the loop
    controlElement.onclick = () => {
        if (control === "Play") {
            this.playSurah(this.selectedSurah); // Assumes this.selectedSurah is the surah to play
        } else if (control === "Pause") {
            this.pauseAudio();
        } else if (control === "Stop") {
            this.stopAudio();
        } else if (control === "Next") {
            this.nextSurah();
        } else if (control === "Previous") {
            this.previousSurah();
        }


        // Implement Next and Previous based on your app logic
    };
    rightPanel.appendChild(controlElement);

}

I am trying to achieve something similar to the mp3-player module but just make it nicer and also have the module full screen on the 7 inch display like a dashboard, in which the module is split in the middle with the left hand side being the playlist i.e. all the mp3 files as per the folders. and the right hand side being the actual mp3 player with all the controls and functions etc.

@KristjanESPERANTO

ok i got somewhere added buttons but man when i press the buttons the mp3 files are not played and I cannot see any errors anywhere. also the notifications are sent but they are not received by the module I verified that:

here is the updated code of MMM-MP3Player module

MMM-MP3Player.js:

var arrPlayed = [];
Module.register("MMM-MP3Player",{
	defaults: {
		musicPath: "modules/MMM-MP3Player/music/",

	},

@bachoo786 i don’t know from the code u posted. i would use the developers window, sources tab to debug the browser code.

ctrl-shift-i to open the developers window. select the sources tab, find your module in the left nav,
select your js file and put a stop on the button handler function… I suspect the ‘this’ pointer was lost, and couldn’t call sendSocketNotification

this is because the function to be called is labeled w the word function(parms){…}

the arrow notation (parms)=>{…} preserves the ‘this’ pointer

mumblebaj · Apr 13, 2024, 5:37 PM

@bachoo786 I am a little confused, which module are you building? MMM-Mp3Player or MMM-QuranPlayer? Can you share the Github link to it?

bachoo786 · Apr 13, 2024, 5:37 PM

@mumblebaj well I am trying to implement a “module” which satisfies my needs of playing any mp3 file. I do want to play the Quran but like I said initially it could play any mp3 file.

I do not have a Github link as of now sorry.

@sdetweil I added some logs and I can see that the notification is sent however its not received, see my updated code below with the result from developer console:

@bachoo786 said in MP3 Player:

button.addEventListener(“click”, function() {

change that to

button.addEventListener(“click”,()=>{

and change the self.sendNotification
to this.sendNotification

at the time the click event happens, you are not in the module code, but in the browser.

and the getDom() function has long since ended. you want the runtime to remember the context before it executes any code.
the arrow invocation ()=>{} does that, while the function(){} type invocation does not

@sdetweil Hey Sam

I did the changes but when i click on the “Play” or any button the mp3 file isnt played and I get this error on the developer console:

Nope doesn’t work.

I feel like going back to the old MP3 Player module that you helped.set up and just changing the css from the disc to something more modern and futuristic with better buttons etc.

Oh and also adding a playlist of mp3s which should be read from the mp3 folder. Display the module in half where the half on the left displays the playlist and the one on the right displays the player buttons etc.

Is that possible you think?
