You are welcome, sir. I really enjoy doing this. If people like my modules then it is even more satisfying for an old dude like me. I do appreciate your kind words. Thank you, my friend. :thumbsup:

And I wholeheartedly agree

When my MagicMirror starts, the ISS module appears, but I have to click a play button on it, to start the app. Is this as should be, or is there a way to get the live stream, when the mirror starts without any interaction.
Great module though

It absolutely should start without clicking a play button. When did you clone the repo? My initial upload to the repo required you to click a play button but a later upload/update included the fix for that.

Have you modified anything?

Line 38 of the MMM-ISS-Live.js file should look like this:

iframe.src="https://www.ustream.tv/embed/9408562?html5ui?autoplay=1";

If it does not you should do a git pull in the MMM-ISS-Live directory

@Mykle1 line 38 is correct but I did a git pull anyway but to no avail

starting with one of the newer electron builds, (and chrome, and mozilla) they have implemented a new ’ no autoplay’ policy.
they require a user to click on the web page somewhere to enable autoplay…

there is a workaround

edit mm/js/electron.js
and change the code like this

function createWindow() {
    app.commandLine.appendSwitch('autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required');  //< -------- added
    var electronOptionsDefaults = {

then restart MM… autoplay will work now

TamP

Thanks for that, It does as you say and starts without the playbutton
