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

@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!

@smassy are you on version 2.8.0?
We put a fix in for video not autoplay

@sdetweil

Ok I finally got that you were talking about magic mirror, yes it’s 2.8.0. But does it affect smartwebdisplay? I thought the module was independent.

[sdetweil]

@smassy well it’s MMM-smartwebdisplay, so I assume it’s a module for MagicMirror.

Hi

I am not able to get anything to display using my own url in this module. The default config urls work fine but not mine. I am trying to display a video feed from a D-Link camera using a url in this format - http://user:password@ipaddress:port/video/mjpg.cgi. This works fine from this camera when pasted into any web browser but not in my mirror. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Chris.

Hi @Chris62 ,

unfortunately it is not easy, this is due to safety mechanisms of iframes that prevent to send password…

Personally I just removed the password of my camera :face_screaming_in_fear:

But you can try some cleverer solutions, search google for “iframe password” or “iframe authentifaction” and you can try to get some clues.
Here is one answer that I found interesting : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15639280/basic-authentication-for-a-url-in-an-iframe

If you find a way, please let us know !
(and if it include some change on the code, I can also implement it, but so far I didn’t find any technical way…)

Good luck !

Hi

I don’t actually have a password set for the camera, it has been factory reset to the defaults which just gives a username admin and a blank password field. My url looks like this http://admin:@ipaddress:port/video/mjpg.cgi. Maybe this is the cause of the issue?

Hello again, I’m trying to use the embeded calls “SWD_…” but there is something I’m not getting.

var recipe = {
  transcriptionHook: {
    "playlist_sylvain": {
      pattern: "liste sylvain",
      command: "playlist_1"
    },
    "playlist_lewis": {
      pattern: "liste lewis capaldi",
      command: "playlist_2"
    },
    "playlist_pause": {
      pattern: "arrêt lecture",
      command: "playlist_pause"
    },
    "playlist_play": {
      pattern: "démarre lecture",
      command: "playlist_play"
    },

  },
  command: {
     "playlist_1": {
             notificationExec: {
                     notification: "SWD_URL",
                     payload: {
                             url:["https://www.youtube.com/embed/0-rG98j2DWE?list=PLa51J4RKCoTXCfr-qubj2FUgPADypF3Gk&autoplay=1"],
                     }
             }
     },
     "playlist_2": {
             notificationExec: {
                    notification: "SWD_URL",
                    payload: {
                            url:["https://www.youtube.com/embed/bCuhuePlP8o?list=RDEMsPjiovzEgfLLK2w1FvFTOg&autoplay=1"],
                    }
             }
     },
     "playlist_pause": {
             notificationExec: {
                    notification: "SWD_PAUSE",
                    }
             },
     "playlist_play": {
             notificationExec: {
                    notification: "SWD_PLAY",
                    }
             },
     },
}

exports.recipe = recipe

Lists are starting correctly but when calling SWD_PAUSE it’s doing nothing and SWD_PLAY restart the list at beginning. Any clue?
