MMM-pages - how to know which page index my module has?

sdetweil

from my SampleModule.js

	// system notification your module is being hidden
	// typically you would stop doing UI updates (getDom/updateDom) if the module is hidden
	suspend: function(){

	},

	// system notification your module is being unhidden/shown
	// typically you would resume doing UI updates (getDom/updateDom) if the module is shown
	resume: function(){

	},

@evroom my MMM-SleepWake uses an external trigger to cause modules to be shown/hidden (screen saver where the screen won’t turn off)

I provide a commandline command to interact with the module…
i use a webcam with the motion project daemon to trigger show/hide

Yeah, this module is kind of in my foster care.
I did not come up with the code; only made some tweaks and made it available.
There is not suspend or resume to been seen in the code.

But I will study the stuff you mentioned and will try to implement that.

Thx.

As a workaround, I will make it a requirement to put the MMM-Player on the first page (page index 0).
When I receive 0, then I will start streaming, otherwise I will stop streaming.
That seems to work.

Short question:

There are 2 versions of MMM-pages:

https://github.com/edward-shen/MMM-pages
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-pages

They seem in-sync, but which one would be the preferred one to take?

sdetweil

@evroom the core function is the same
i added the ability to have different page display times

i wrote the doc on the fixed page name approach

as you are using a notification now
just move that to suspend (same as index=0)
and the resume wakes you back up

He has the MMM-MPlayer working in pages and I am now using pages and MPlayer in my main MM.
Kinda of cool to be able to show a RSTP camera or 2 again…

@plainbroke cool
