MP3 Player

[sdetweil]

@bachoo786 no idea really. need to think.

do you have a git repo I can clone to look at

[bachoo786]

@sdetweil I dont I am afraid.

Do you think posting the codes on here would be suffice? the node-helper, js and the css files?

@bachoo786 better if you make a github repo

but the main problem is you cannot sendNotification to yourself…

BUT you CAN call the notificationReceived function instead

[bachoo786]

@sdetweil what do I do then ?

[sdetweil]

@bachoo786 change the one line of code

[mumblebaj]

@sdetweil and @bachoo786 There is a lot wrong with that code snippets. Can’t make it work the way it stands.

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj @bachoo786 here is a repo for this module

it is built with name sensitive constructs, so if you rename the files it will adjust automatically… (except for the css file… today it has no module prefix on its selectors)

https://github.com/sdetweil/new-MP3Player

(as I already have a module repo with MMM)

put some music files in the music folder

install instructions

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/new-MP3Player
cd new-MP3Player
npm install 

change the modulename in config.js if u had the prior code

[sdetweil]

I updated the player to get rid of as many global variables as possible

@sdetweil

Hi Sam thanks for that I will try it out soon.

I am currently working on the existing mp3 player module and have added another songList i.e. songList2 as per my get dom function. Trouble is I get this error when I restart the MagicMirror, the error is from the developer console. I am scratching my head to resolve it but it doesnt work.

here is the code:

MMM-MP3Player.js:

var MP3;
var substr;
Module.register("MMM-MP3Player", {
  defaults: {
    songs: [],
    songs2: [],  // Add this line for the second song list

    musicPath2: "modules/MMM-MP3Player/music2",
    extensions: ["mp3", "wma", "acc", "ogg"],
//    songs: null,
    autoPlay: false,
    random: false,

the error I get is:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ',' (at MMM-MP3Player.js:196:2)

which is this

},

[sdetweil]

@bachoo786 said in MP3 Player:

MP3.updateDom();
}
},
});

yep, it’s that trailing comma saying another function is coming

[bachoo786]

@sdetweil

so I removed it to this:

socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
  if (notification === "RETURNED_MUSIC") {
    if (payload.type === 'music1') {
      MP3.config.songs = payload.songs;
    } else if (payload.type === 'music2') {
      MP3.config.songs2 = payload.songs;
    }
    MP3.setCurrentSong(0); // set initial song for each list
    MP3.updateDom();
  }
}
});

but still doesnt like it gives this error:

:8182/modules/MMM-MP…MM-MP3Player.js:196 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ','

[sdetweil]

@bachoo786 what is on line 195

[bachoo786]

@sdetweil

its this:

return wrapper;

which is around here :

        volumeSlider.type = "range";
        volumeSlider.min = "0";

        MP3.mediaPlayer.appendChild(controls);

        wrapper.appendChild(MP3.mediaPlayer);

    if(className) elem.className = className;

.....

[sdetweil]

@bachoo786 you have a missing close brace

        wrapper.appendChild(songList);
     }   // <-----here
  if (MP3.config.songs2 != null) {

you need to use an editor with brace matching

[bachoo786]

@sdetweil can you please recommend some editor with brace matching?

also I added close brace but that didnt resolve the issue got another error now right at the bottom.

});

you see all I am trying to do is to add like a playlist to the module so basically I have added the songList and it shows all the songs i.e. .mp3 files in the music folder within the module’s folder.

I am now adding music2 folder to show another set of mp3 files and I thought of grouping each folder by artist name and display it on the front end.

this method is tedious as I need to repeat this for many artists.

a better method I think would be of having several artists folders in the module’s “single” music folder and in each artist’s folder there will be various mp3s.

this way the module should display the available artist i.e. folders in the front end and when I click on the artist’s name on the front end it would collapse down and show the mp3s in that respective artist’s folder.

I did try to work on this “better method” but didnt get far so I went for the easier option as I already had a single “songList” which was working and showing the mp3s in the “music” folder.

@bachoo786 sorry, been out

for editor, install winsvp or bitwise ssh clients. I like bitwise better myself.

both will give you ssh window AND a file manager view from windows over the pi (other system) filesystem

then you can double click to edit
and save back.

I use notepad++ or visual studio code as the editor. you a also install visual studio code o the MagicMirror system, UT then u need vnc or keyboard and mouse . I never edit ON the MagicMirror system anymore

[bachoo786]

@sdetweil ah thanks will look into it no need to apologise mate.

Did you have a chance to look into my 2 sets of codes ?

[sdetweil]

@bachoo786 yes,

your function

setCurrentSong: function(folderName, songName){

takes two parms

on line 264 you called it with one

      MP3.setCurrentSong(0);

[bachoo786]

@sdetweil ah right so I need to change it to something like this:

MP3.setCurrentSong(0, 'songName');

Also did you manage to look into my later code which I described as the “better way”
