You’re on your own. Just make sure the fridge is full. ;-)

@Fozi Very nice work! How do you play the sound of the Tagesschau stream? I don’t see a loudspeaker in your setup.

Fozi · Dec 13, 2019, 10:33 AM

@ttarzan thanks a lot!
The sound comes from the speakers which where already built in the monitor. So I had not to deal with additional speakers and cableing. The audio output goes over HDMI right into the monitor.

To be honest, don‘t expect a spectacular sound, as these are tiny 2W speakers and provide no bass. But they serve the purpose.

@Fozi Looks nice 👍🏼 great job

@Fozi the Tv stream is that a Module ?

Fozi · Dec 13, 2019, 2:35 PM

@Stoffbeuteluwe Thanks for the compliments.
Yes, this is the MMM-Podcast2 module, which loads the “Tagesschau in 100 Sek.” video podcast and displays it via the omxplayer. So it displays a video, but it is no live TV stream.
You also need to have MMM-Buttons and MMM-Remote-Control installed to use it. Standalone the module will not work.

Note: the video is not running inside the electron wrapper, but is overlayed over the desktop.

@Fozi sorry to be a constant pain but what are your thoughts on using a led TV instead of the VA monitor?
