MMM-SmartWebDisplay : display web contents (including YouTube) on your MM

@agp42 Can’t agree more, I did enjoy learning how to do it myself and already what I learned has came in handy for another module I have worked on. It’s still good to have ideas like this too.
I’m looking forward to seeing your code for sending the new URL through the control too. Keep up the good work.

@shbatm

Good to know, it fact I am very unsatisfied that I had to create a “bad fork” of RemoteControl, it is a dirty way to work and I don’t really like that… :face_with_cold_sweat:

Did you create a dedicated post for your fork and API ?

If RemoteControl is not maintained anymore as it seams to be, it can be a good idea to create a new “major fork” maintained with new functions as for example API for the possibility for other module to integrate menu easily !

The official MMM-RemoteControl has already 56 fork ! :face_screaming_in_fear:
It will be interesting to see if they contains interesting features and having a new major branch.

I didn’t look into your code deeply yet but I will do it and try to use it for my need instead of my own fork…

Anyway I don’t have enough time myself to invest into the creation of the NextRemoteControl, but if you do so I will definitively follow and support that great initiative !

This looks great, I’ll try it, but since you’re asking for other ideas, probably it will be a good one to make it compatible with MMM-TelegramBot, that way you can control your NEXT, PREV, etc from outside your local network using Telegram.
Enjoy

@rafaelcota

I didn’t know the MMM-TelegramBot, but I just check the documentation (incredibly well written ! :face_with_tears_of_joy: ) and it seams very easy to integrate, so I will add it on my coding to do list for the next version !

Thanks for the tip !

Question, so this could display a RTSP security camera feed?

AgP42

@swvalenti
No, it can display anything (or almost) that can be displayed on a web browser, so not an RTSP camera feed.
But for this you can use MMM-RTSPStream

@AgP42 Understood thanks for responding.

@Jopyth is still the maintainer of MMM-Remote-Control, and I’ve sent a PR to have my changes included in the official repo; if he’s anything like me, this is a hobby and efforts on it come and go as time and other projects allow. Feel free to use my fork for now and if/when they get merged, I’ll let you know. I’ve been trying to include several Issue fixes in my branch as well to wrap them all up into 1 update.

@AgP42 Could you explain how to “declare several instances” with this module? I tried to add it twice (once for bottom_left and once for bottom_middle, but it only shows the iFrame of bottom_left…

Zwirbel

Ok, I have found the error myself: the position “bottom_middle” does not exist, I have to use “bottom_center”. Now it works!

@AgP42
I already have installed MMM-RemoteControl in my MM. If I remove it and reinstall it from your repository will it install the new feture as well to control SWD?

I’m loving this module, but having slight issue. it seems if i use the adjustment for height or width the area resizes but does not scale the image by the percentage as i would expect.

                            height:"50 %", //hauteur du cadre en pixel ou %
                            width:"50 %", //largeur

produces a 50 pixel square image

and

                          height:"50%", //hauteur du cadre en pixel ou %
                            width:"50%", //largeur

produces an image that is half the size but cropped, showing only the top left 1/4 of the image.

If anyone can see an error in my config please let me know :-)

  {
  module: 'MMM-SmartWebDisplay',
  header: "South Doodlakine Radar",
  position: 'bottom_right',       // This can be any of the regions.
  config: {
                 logDebug: false, //set to true to get detailed debug logs. To see them : "Ctrl+Shift+i"
                 //height:"524", //hauteur du cadre en pixel ou %
                 //width:"564", //largeur
                 height:"50%", //hauteur du cadre en pixel ou %
                 width:"50%", //largeur
                 updateInterval: 1, 
                 NextURLInterval: 0.5, 
                 displayStateInfos: false, 
                 displayLastUpdate: false,
                 displayLastUpdateFormat: 'ddd - HH:mm:ss', //format of the date and time to display
                 url: ["http://www.bom.gov.au/radar/IDR58B.gif?123", "http://www.bom.gov.au/radar/IDR58B.gif?345"], 
                 scrolling: "no" 
               }
  },

through notification by any other module

Hello,

First: Good job, module is very nice and easy to implement.

I have a little problem to understand how to change URL by notification from another module. I am using MMM-Assistant2 with a recipe but I’m not sure how to configure it. A little help would be greatly appreciated.

config.js:
{
module: ‘MMM-SmartWebDisplay’,
position: ‘bottom_left’, // This can be any of the regions.
config: {
// See ‘Configuration options’ for more information.
logDebug: false, //set to true to get detailed debug logs. To see them : “Ctrl+Shift+i”
height:“200px”, //hauteur du cadre en pixel ou %
width:“300px”, //largeur
updateInterval: 0, //in min. Set it to 0 for no refresh (for videos)
NextURLInterval: 0, //in min, set it to 0 not to have automatic URL change. If only 1 URL given, it will be updated
displayStateInfos: false, //to display if the module is on autoloop, or stop.
displayLastUpdate: true, //to display the last update of the URL
displayLastUpdateFormat: ‘ddd - HH:mm:ss’, //format of the date and time to display
url: [“https://www.youtube.com/embed/9xXww6Yyl34?list=PLa51J4RKCoTXCfr-qubj2FUgPADypF3Gk”], //source of the URL to be displayed
scrolling: “no” // allow scrolling or not. html 4 only
}
},

Recipe (playlist.js)
var recipe = {
transcriptionHook: {
“playlist_sylvain”: {
pattern: “liste sylvain”,
command: “playlist_1”
},
},
command: {
“playlist_1”: {
moduleExec: {
module: [“MMM-SmartWebDisplay”],
exec: (module, params, key) => {
module: ({url: [“http://www.google.com”]}) //test url
}
}
},
},
}
exports.recipe = recipe

What I am missing?

Thank you!

AgP42

Hello,

sorry guys not having answering before, I will try to answer all your questions now !

AgP42

@Zwirbel Great, thanks that you could confirm it’s works, thanks ! :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

AgP42

@Anthony : Yes absolutely ! Did you try it and can confirm it works fine ?

AgP42

@peterh and @zjonesz : Unfortunatelly I don’t know also how to solve it…

Maybe someone have a solution ?

(I have to admit that I am not using that module myself anymore…)
