What would the best approach to hide other specific modules when this module is active, i.e. when music is being played?

It may be to early to ask this since @Bugsounet just volunteered a few minutes ago to take over this project so take your time with your feedback.

leave me a few days … I have to inspect the entire API :)

@mmmmh i tried to use watchdog for another problem, but there were normal disconnects between the front and back ends, which WOULD have recovered, had watchdbog not restarted MM… I gave up

mmmmh

@Bugsounet Take your time.

Currently, the module already has awareness about playback activity. An API call to an endpoint of my choosing on state change would already solve it for me. The endpoint could also be MMM-Remote-Control’s API.

I guess I can sift through the module’s code and see if with my humble skills can insert a simple request at the proper place. We’ll see how it goes.

@Bugsounet Cool additions and fixes. I need to find out more about the notifications to learn how to disable other modules when music is streaming.

I make a developer tools module for displaying notification and payload Read there :)

I think it can help you

mmmmh

@Bugsounet Very interesting. This also looks promising. I’ll comment in the other topic.

mmmmh

@Bugsounet I noticed in my pihole logs that there were at least 10 DNS queries for Spotify per second, something is not right. The actual refresh rate for the module is set to 3000 ms. I had to disable the module.
