@sean Thank ( Again Sean)
I’m getting the following error :

config.js:40 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'src' of null
    at Object.payload (config.js:40)
    at Class.notificationReceived (MMM-NotificationTrigger.js:62)
    at sendNotification (main.js:95)
    at Object.sendNotification (main.js:498)
    at Class.sendNotification (module.js:368)
    at Class.socketNotificationReceived (MMM-Hotword.js:85)
    at module.js:246
    at r.<anonymous> (socketclient.js:25)
    at r.emit (index.js:83)
    at r.onevent (index.js:83)

config.js 40 is :

38           payload: (payload) => {
39            var img = document.getElementById("MY_ANIMATION")
40              img.src = "/home/pi/MagicMirror/jarvis-standby2.gif"
41              return payload

Any Idea ? Let me know if you need me to report this directly in git issues.

Thanks

@ejay-ibm
Where is your default.gif?(#MY_ANIMATION)?

@sean
Right I was missing the first module .
Now this is what I’m getting

I feel stupid to not be able to debug such simple thing, but I’m sure you will figure out the error faster than me …

@ejay-ibm its ok, this is a tricky one… the forum has a problem with content that starts with the '< ’ symbol,
so to make it show, we have to put a space after it… so… in your content:, take the space out after that < symbol

[ejay-ibm]

Thank you @sdetweil That look better

Now I think it’s my last issue . The path …
I’m getting :
jarvis-standby2.gif:1 GET http://localhost:8080/jarvis-standby2.gif 404 (Not Found)
If the images is placed in /home/pi/MagicMirror/jarvis-standby2.gif

not sure what’s wrong and what is the “expectation” with the path …
Thanks

[sdetweil]

@ejay-ibm the default path for the localhost server is /home/pi/MagicMirror,

if you do

ls /home/pi/MagicMirror/jarvis-standby2.gif -laF
```

do you get a proper display out? 

linux/pi is case sensitive..

[ejay-ibm]

@sdetweil said in MMM-Image-On-Notification:

ls /home/pi/MagicMirror/jarvis-standby2.gif -laF

yup

i@ejaypi:~/MagicMirror$ ls /home/pi/MagicMirror/jarvis-standby2.gif -laF
-rw-r–r-- 1 pi pi 8735111 mars 1 19:58 /home/pi/MagicMirror/jarvis-standby2.gif

[ejay-ibm]

I found

src=“modules/MMM-HTMLBox/jarvis-standby2.gif”

that works …

thank you

[sdetweil]

@ejay-ibm actually looks like the base is

/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules

code in app/server.js

var directories = ["/config", "/css", "/fonts", "/modules", "/vendor", "/translations", "/tests/configs"];

sets up listening on those folders

Thank you @Sean & @sdetweil
This is the draft result. I still have to work on the talking image. that one is a quick test.

As you can see the animation is triggered a bit early.
As I discussed with you Sean This is why I would need an additional notification between HOTWORD_PAUSE & ASSISTANT_ACTIVATE (I’ll use this notification as well to turn down the volume when user command is given in case any music is played on the mirror )

thank you again

@sdetweil I didn’t know that . Thanks I learnt something
I’ll use config folder then

[sdetweil]

@ejay-ibm i would try to stay away from MM folders… create another under modules for your own content

[ejay-ibm]

@sdetweil Yes config/images or modules/images
Both would be ok since not overwritten in case of an update.
Good Idea.
