Thank you always for your complete modules.
I have some questions about YouTube. The YouTube video screen is always full. Is there a way to reduce the size of a pop-up window?
And one more thing: can’t I stop or give another command while watching the video?

For Resizing Video Player; add this into your css/custom.css and adjust the values;

#ASSISTANT_YOUTUBE {
  position:fixed;
  top:20px;
  left:20px;
  width:400px;
  height:300px;
}

And you can stop playing video by hotword waking with option pauseOnYoutube:false.

@sean
Thank you very much for your kind answer.
But, ;(
Detects hotword during video playback and stops video, but then fails to perform any of the following commands…

@wearable9083 If you failed, just try again. I think it might be caused by some lack of resource performance but that might not be the fatal problem. Or, Did you mean AssistantMk2 not working after youtube playing?

[wearable9083]

@sean
After assistant-mk2 has detected hotword, no voice command has been recognized. (during video playback)
.

[Voice commands are well recognized when the video is played through without stop.]

Only after closing video, you can order to assistant.
If command be allowed during video playing, Assistant will be activated by sounds of video. So during playing, Assistant is disabled.

I’ll make the most of the information you’ve given me. Thank you. :)
Have a nice day!

@Sean at last got MMM-AssistantMk2 up and running with MMM-Hotword.I have only one little problem,when i ask something i lose the first word of the answer.It is like hdmi sound channel is down and needs 1 sec to wake so i cant hear the first word of the answer.I add to /boot/config.txt the line “force_hdmi_open=1” but didnt help.At my standalone raspberry google assistant installation i had the same problem and this line solved it,but not here…

@costascontis
Sorry, I have no idea about it. Maybe my module would close HDMI when it doesn’t be needed. (Standalone version could open HDMI continuously by force, because there is no need to close for other’s occupation)

[costascontis]

@sean it is very annoying not to listen the first word or missing the half of it,do you have an idea to keep hdmi on all the time?
edit: if i use the .asoundrc file of my other gassistant i have no delay but the voice is choppy.

pcm.dsnooper {
    type dsnoop
    ipc_key 816357492
    ipc_key_add_uid 0
    ipc_perm 0666
    slave {
        pcm "hw:1,0"
        channels 1
    }
}

pcm.!default {
        type asym
        playback.pcm {
                type plug
                slave.pcm "hw:0,1"
        }
        capture.pcm {
                type plug
                slave.pcm "dsnooper"
        }
}

if i use the default .asoundrc the voice is clear but with a start delay

pcm.!default {
	type hw
	card 0
}

ctl.!default {
	type hw
	card 0
}

with the first .asoundrc delayless file all other sounds at the Rpi are playback just fine ,only the MMM-AssistantMk2 voice is grainy and choppy… : (

But in that case, Other modules cannot use speaker-out. I rather recommend to use other speaker instead HDMI.

[costascontis]

yes i understand,i just think that is a MMM-AssistantMk2 's problem because when i trigger MMM-Hotword it makes a ding sound to show that its listening and that sound i can always hear it so hdmi is awake ,then i make a request to MMM-AssistantMk2 and when it answers i cant hear the first word or the first letters of it anyway…

Hello

how can MMM-AssistantMk2 start a webradio stream ? i tell the Assistant to play radio 1live. Respone is “OK” but nothing will come up.
I say "show me a picture from a Dog . Respone “OK” but nothing comes up.

BTW : Great Module !

@lowis
Those features are allowed to REAL GOOGLE HOME devices at this moment. I hope somedays it could be allowed to Assistant SDK.

[Lowis]

But a something like your youtube search and playing Should be possible for a webradio

[A Former User]

@lowis Youtube features are added by myself with Youtube API.

[Lowis]

@Sean Yes i know. Great work ! Maybe it could expand with a webradio directory like shoutcast.com

I’m guessing that this question has been asked quite a few times so I’m sorry for the repeat.

I’ve got my mirror up and running using latest resabian, MagicMirror2, modules MMM-AssistantMk2 and MMM-HOTWORD.
Adding more modules soon just taking a step at a time as I’m a total beginner.

Seems to be running OK apart from the Google Assistant, its running so slow when asking questions and waiting for replies, and I don’t get voice response back just like a humming sound (I’m guessing this is when Google is answering), I know sound and mic are working as I can her myself talk when testing the mic.

Also what is the best setup for mic and speakers in using a USB sound card
Mic is just standard 3.5mm jack type
Speakers are running through a separate amp after the sound card.

One more this is there a way to add an Led for when the Google Assistant is listening??

Sorry for the long post I’m just so close

@jmh474
For slow speed, I have no idea about it. Maybe it is related with your network status. Usually others have no problem about speed.
I think, it is not about speed. You just couldn’t get the response with some reason.
Test like this;

• Stop the pm2 (If you are using)
• Execute MM with npm start dev on MagicMirror directory.
• See what happens on terminal shell.
  There could be errors or some useful messages to examine.
