MMM-Podcast don't show/load the latest video

[cruunnerr]

Okay… false alarm. Just forget it, it’s working now :D Sorry

No internet connection? ;)

[cruunnerr]

no, but i am new to programming so it was hard for me to find out.
after i checked the pm2 log again i just gave it a try…
Because it says “this.socketNotificationReceived is not a function”

i needed to change a line in the node_helper.js

default one:

else if(this.loaded){
                                omx.play("modules/MMM-Podcast/video.mp4", {audioOutput: 'local'});
                        }
                        else{
                                setTimeout(function(){this.socketNotificationReceived(notification, payload)},2000);
                        }

i changed line 32 to this:

else if(this.loaded){
                                omx.play("modules/MMM-Podcast/video.mp4", {audioOutput: 'local'});
                        }
                        else{
                                setTimeout(function(){self.socketNotificationReceived(notification, payload)},2000);
                        }

i think, that the download of the video.mp4 wasn’t set to “finished” from the script, so a new video would never be downloaded.

Anyhow it works now, but i noticed that the “updateVideoHours” function in the config.js has no effect at all.
The video has been downloaded several times this day (i think 3-4 times).
But thats ok for me, as the video file is updated also 3-4 times from the website. :)

[cruunnerr]

ok… i am dumb :(

i realized that the video only was downloaded a few times, cause my Mirror restarts all the time. The watchdog module recognized a few Heartbeat timeouts and restarts every time.

So maybe i need to do some troubleshooting first ^^

Ah, debugging. Welcome to the live of a developer. Good luck.

Hi,

I am not sure if I should open a new topic, but somehow it fits here as well.
My MMM-Podcast does not show any video at all.
I use the default feedURL like shown above.

Is it correct that the modul does not show anything on startup or is there a picture of the linked video shown?
I do not have MMM-Button installed, but it should work with “http://IP:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=BUTTON_PRESSED” as well.
Sending the command my browser says “success” but nothing happens. It always shows nothing.

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

@MrCoffee
Did you get it running?

[MrCoffee]

@fox
No. Unfortunately not.
I don´t know what the issue is. The area were the module should be, is just black.
Nothing happens.

@MrCoffee
I tried also to debug this, but my error.log dont give me any information.

@fox
Thats interessting. I just realized your screenshot above.
In my case it does not show anything.
Can you please post the part of your config?

Where do I find the error.log?

Thanks
