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

@AgP42 said in MMM-SmartWebDisplay : display web contents (including YouTube) on your MM:

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!

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…)

[AgP42]

@lukas1760 : Normaly yes, any html/css/javascript file can be executed.

Did you test to be able to confirm that it works ?

@smassy

the configuration of MMM-SmartWebDisplay seams ok

I don’t know the module MMM-Assistant2, is it this one : https://github.com/eouia/MMM-AssistantMk2 ?
If not, can you send me the link on it’s documentation ?

To be able to send a new url to display to the MMM-SmartWebDisplay, the configuration has to be exactly like that :
{notification: “SWD_URL”, payload: {url:[“https://magicmirror.builders/”]}}
This line means : send to the system a “notification” (it is a MagicMirror mecanism) with the topic “SWD_URL” (so my module knows that this notification is for him), and then you have to send a “payload” (extra infos) with the URL you want to use.

Does that helps ? If yes please let us know the solution !

Bye,
AgP

@AgP42

Thank for answering! :-)

Yes the Assistant is https://github.com/eouia/MMM-AssistantMk2

I will test with your recommendation and let you know if I’m able to make it work.

See ya!

@AgP42

Good news, I was able to make it work thanks to you! But…there is a but… The youtube link with autoplay is not working :-(

This simple url
https://www.youtube.com/embed/JGwWNGJdvx8?autoplay=1

Will give you ‘video unavailable’ error, remove the autoplay tag and it will show (not play).

Trying to find out how to make it work and I will post my config as soon as I get the hang of it.

See ya!
