@mirror-master

Well done, figuring it out on your own. :thumbsup:

Why don’t you post your experiment and solution so that others might benefit from it? Just a thought.

Thank you sir. its way too simple and embarassing to post but hey, and honestly i know the other folk can do it better and cleaner, im using this:

http://magicmirrorIP:remote.html?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=SLIDE_INCREMENT

so i never understood how the notification thing worked. the whole time Im thinking a literal notification. After getting it running through the browser, as opposed to my asinine and naive method (no comment) lol, i needed a way to implement this into my phone app that handles most of its controls. i went old school. and used a link to trigger. simple and effective. I can now control my mirror through my phone app via web interface and clicking.

@cowboysdude a great read! I understand how the notifications work as of the day when i posted. (Took me forever lol) Now im trying to trigger the music player with the same technique. I plan on posting the app i put together to control most of my mirror. Thank you

@mirror-master

In its simplest form, you can trigger your player with the reception of the notification within your module:

notificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
        if (notification === 'SLIDE_INCREMENT') {
            this.trigger.your.player();
        }

I made MMM-NotificationTrigger for that purpose.

@sean i know broski! im not as advanced as you guys. Honestly just needed a way to move stuff. I could never get the hang of notification trigger module in full.

@mykle1 yes sir, i have some stuff i found in the code that triggers the mm-music-player. Gotta test it later.
