var MMSocket = function(moduleName) {
	var self = this;

	if (typeof moduleName !== "string") {
		throw new Error("Please set the module name for the MMSocket.");
	}

	self.moduleName = moduleName;

	// Private Methods
	self.socket = io("/" + self.moduleName);
	var notificationCallback = function() {};

	var onevent = self.socket.onevent;
	self.socket.onevent = function(packet) {
		var args = packet.data || [];
		onevent.call(this, packet);    // original call
		packet.data = ["*"].concat(args);
		onevent.call(this, packet);      // additional call to catch-all
	};

	// register catch all.
	self.socket.on("*", function(notification, payload) {
		if (notification !== "*") {
			notificationCallback(notification, payload);
		}
	});

	// Public Methods
	this.setNotificationCallback = function(callback) {
		notificationCallback = callback;
	};

	this.sendNotification = function(notification, payload) {

		}
		self.socket.emit(notification, payload);

didn’t ask you, because I know your socketclient.js, you applied my patch …

[RoadRunnr1469]

@karsten13 actually no I didn’t. I had backed up my entire MagicMirror folder and all sub folders before upgrading. I saw another post where they said they changed the socketclient back to before upgrade. so I did the same thing. after making a backup of the new socketclient.js file.

@RoadRunnr1469 so…After restart MM …Remote Control is not working anymore :worried_face:

[sdetweil]

@Stoffbeuteluwe put his fix on the js/socketclient.js

[snikolaidis]

what if cat ./js/socketclient.js says the file doesn’t exist? Would it be located somewhere else for the MagicMirrorOS?

[karsten13]

you are using this setup?

[snikolaidis]

@karsten13 yes I am

[karsten13]

then you will not find the socketclient.js on your pi because this file is in the used docker image.
2 possibilities:

• you have to mount a fixed version of this file into the running container with a volume mount
• you can use the develop version of the docker image which contains the current develop branch of mm where this is already fixed (this is the current base of the upcoming MM v2.12)

Don’t know how experienced you are in docker, 2. option is easier to explain.

[snikolaidis]

@karsten13 I am a complete novice to it, but I will figure out a way, thank you so much for pointing me in the correct path!

[karsten13]

then goto ~/magicmirror/run and edit the docker-compose.yml with an editor (e.g. nano or vi).

In this file replace karsten13/magicmirror:latest with karsten13/magicmirror:develop, save the file.

You are still in ~/magicmirror/run, then run docker-compose up -d.

It will take a while because this will pull a new docker image.

After the app is up again, the problem should be fixed.

@karsten13 said in Has anyone got MMM-Remote-Control working on MM 2.11 ?:

~/magicmirror/ru

THANK YOU!!!

[karsten13]

what I told you in my last reply was the solution to use the develop image.

Now I tried to write down the other solution (how to patch a mm-file in a docker setup) here.

This fixed the issue I was having with Remote Control

issue I was having was when logging into remote control, it would display all modules as ‘unavailable’ and would be in a constant loading… loop when trying to turn on/off modules.

Now its running as expected.

Thank you!

[qqqqqqqq]

I did the fix in the socketclient.js file. but here are two issues that i am still facing. Anyone knows, how to fix them?

1. The icons aren’t still visible, like it was in earlier versions.
2. The top buttons just showing “All” and not “Show all” or “Hide All”.

[karsten13]

There is a fix for this provided as PR here but still not merged. But you can apply the fix yourself.

@karsten13
Sorry for asking, but I am pretty new to docker.
I installed my MagicMirror using docker-MagicMirror.
There I don´t have the ~/magicmirror/run folder.

Could you please help me out, where I have to look?

Thanks.
Mr.Coffee

[karsten13]

@MrCoffee

sorry, don’t understand your question.

This thread is about a problem with MMM-RemoteControl with MM v2.11.

If you use the mentioned docker setup this should have MM v2.13 where the problem is solved.

[MrCoffee]

@karsten13
Oh. Sorry for that.
But thank you for your answer.

However I thougt I had the same issues.
Ok. I will give it another try and in case I can’t fix it, i will open a new thread.

Thank you.

may your image is to old. You can execute docker images and see how old your images are. You can get a new version with docker pull xy (replace xy with the image name).
