MMM-iFrame-Ping - revisited

[ebolisa]

Hi,

I’m streaming video/music from a web but, for some reason, the audio doesn’t go through on a P0 it does on a P4 using the same config, however,

Youtube and audio tests pass on both pies.

Is there any reason for that?
TIA

@ebolisa on a pi0 you are running chromium-browser, on a pi4, u are using electron js browser

i suspect u have to do some setup on chromium

see the 4th post here
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=291066

add the parm to the invocation of chromium in ~/MagicMirror/run-start.sh

@sdetweil you mean in line 78?

chromium-browser -noerrdialogs -kiosk -start_maximized  --disable-features=AudioServiceSandbox --disable-infobars --app=...

the other way I get an error:

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ chromium-browser --disable-features=AudioServiceSandbox
[1974:1974:0216/221501.872136:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(1432)] Unable to open X display.

@ebolisa correct.

the second way probably fails because u are on an ssh session, and need to define the DISPLAY to use

export DISPLAY=:0

I also stream YouTube videos but I don’t !!! want to hear any sound. Does the module regularly play no sound?

[sdetweil]

@kamischami according to this,

https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

the

–mute-audio

parm should mute any audio

@sdetweil making progress by tweaking a bit the line shown above to

chromium-browser --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --noerrdialogs --incognito --kiosk -start_maximized  --disable-features=AudioServiceSandbox --disable-infobars --app=...

However, streaming video on a P0 is not the best way to go so, I decided to just stream audio with this link http://stream-uk1.radioparadise.com/mp3-192. It’s much easer on buffering ;)

@ebolisa pi 0 is tough to of a lot different things at once
