MMM-iFrame-Ping

@AgP42 Thank you for this version of iFrame. Works well for me :)
I do get a white line around the embedded iFrame. Could you please tell me, how to get rid of it?

Hello,

you can try the following :

On the file “MMM-iFrame-Ping.js”, on lines 135, 136 and 137 there is :

iframe.width = this.config.width;
iframe.height = this.config.height;
iframe.scrolling = this.config.scrolling;

with those lines, please add :

iframe.style = "border:0"

This should solve your problem !

Bye,
AgP42

@agp42 Thanks for the quick help!

Dear @AgP42,
one of my use cases for your module is showing a livestream from the ISS on the night-page of my mirror, if a user is present. Looks really good!
Now i thought of enhancing it and playing some curated movies from the ISS during those moments, when it is not flying in daylight.

Would it be possible / difficult to add a limited number of youtube links and either select one of them for playback via a notification or play them randomly?

@agp42 Would it be possible to have 2 instances in the config file, working independently?

AgP42

@rudibarani Sorry for my late answer. Did you consider to create a youtube playlist and make it run on the Mirror ? (This way of doing is now describe on the readme file) I guest it will fulfill your need !

Johans

@agp42 Ok, thanks for the tip, I’ll checkup the README file.

@johans Hello, in fact I already try to manage this functionality (on another plugin), but it’s very hard to make it work.
Here is an easy way for you :

duplicate the plugin (copy/paste the full folder and rename it, for example “MMM-iFrame-Ping-2”)
enter the folder and rename the file “MMM-iFrame-Ping.js” into “MMM-iFrame-Ping-2.js” (no need to change the css file, you can also delete it)
open the file “MMM-iFrame-Ping-2.js” and and the very first line, also change :

Module.register("MMM-iFrame-Ping",{

to

Module.register("MMM-iFrame-Ping-2",{

then you can declare this “new” module on your config file and use it with another URL

(Yes this is a very very bad looking solution :grimacing_face: , please don’t tell anyone it comes from me !:winking_face: )

Dear @agp42,

unfortunately, a playlist does not help for my use case:
I found a 90 min 4K Video Collection from the ISS and want use a defined / selected / random 35 minute section to fill in for the time when the ISS is in the dark.
Currently, I am circumventing it by having multiple copies of the “Night”-page with MMM-Page-Selector and defining different instances of MMM-iFrame-Ping for each page. Each of these instances get a defined URL and I call the pages via notifications, depending on the daylight-status of the ISS.
Having a little more flexibility in the module would make this a lot easier and more dynamic.

Maybe it could be possible to pass on an URL via a notification?

@rudibarani
Hello,
to better understand your request, by “notification” do you mean the internal MM notification mecanism ? (describe here on the official doc)
In that case, which module will send the url request to the MMM-iFrame-Ping module ? and what will be the notification request format ?

Thanks,
AgP42
