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

[mvrlogins]

Only thing I can think of right now is to put the video on page0 and the rest on page1

and then use a combination of the PAGE_CHANGED and PAUSE_ROTATION notifications to get what I want

Or is there a way to permanently pause rotation?

Then I can only use the PAGE_CHANGED call to get to the page I want

would the below disable rotation?

rotationTime: 1000 * 0,

@mvrlogins i believe so. but you should have been able to send the notification for the named hidden page

“SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE”, “Doorbell”

right?!

Yes, the notification works fine.

But mplayer does not show up on the hidden page, only on the main page

[sdetweil]

@mvrlogins hm, that makes no sense as the MagicMirror operations are the same

[sdetweil]

@mvrlogins i opened this issue
https://github.com/evroom/MMM-MPlayer/issues/4

try my fork

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
rename the existing folder out of the way
git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-MPlayer

change the page config to have the hidden page and the
remote_control notification

I submitted this change to the module for inclusion, depending on your results.

Maybe something to do with mplayer itself, not the module MMM-Mplayer?

[sdetweil]

@mvrlogins no, i fixed in my fork

Did as you suggested

The video appears only on page index 0 and not on the hidden page

See the 2 video images on the attached screenshot - both are over the weather module

The header for the MPlayer appears on the hidden page

I can change to the hidden page with Remote Control, no problem

    {
        module: "MMM-pages",
        config: {
            rotationTime: 1000 * 86400, // rotate every 20 seconds
            modules: [
	
                ["page1"],           // class name for page 1
         //       ["page2"],           // class name for page 2
        //        ["page3"],           // class name for page 3
            ],
            fixed: ["fixed_page"],
            hiddenPages: {
                "Doorbell": ["doorbell_page"],
           
            }
        }
    },

{
	module: 'MMM-MPlayer',
        classes: "doorbell_page",
        disabled: false,
        position: "top_left",
        header: "MPlayer",
	config: {
	  useTwoWindows: true,
	  layout: 'column',
	  monitorAspect: 0,
	  rotate: -1,
	  windowSize: { width: 640, height: 360 },
	  windowPosition: { x: 5, y: 225 },
	  streamInterval: 30000,
	  streams: {
		window1: [
		  'rtsp://10.0.1.1:7447/gv9eHrB9yZyPhgvN',
		],
		window2: [
		  'rtsp://10.0.1.1:7447/D89zTJyDwN8YtKix',
		  
		]
	  }
	}
},

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.

@sdetweil Maybe something to do with this?

[sdetweil]

@mvrlogins no. i added code to start streaming on hidden page,
let me check again.

you have my fork, right?

[mvrlogins]

@sdetweil

Yes, using your fork

[mvrlogins]

@sdetweil

The video appears on both pages.

The page with index 0 and the hidden page

[sdetweil]

@mvrlogins ok, git pull in module folder…

i didn’t stop the stream when switching away… or if there was another stream already running on page 0

Hi, I notice some requests and other activities,here and on GitHub.
Due to unforeseen medical issues, I do not have really time, nor the means to respond to everything
Already happy I have some sort of Internet connection here.
But with Sam it is in good hands, just make use of his fork.
Greetings, E.J.

Due to unforeseen medical issues

take care, this is not important in the grand scheme of things…

I spent 2 months in hospital with Covid in 2021, luckily laptop, wifi , and MagicMirror kept me sane.

@sdetweil

Thanks for your help with this, Much appreciated

I’m now away from the mirror for the weekend. I’ll give it a shot when I return on Tuesday
