MMM-GoogleCast

veego

Hey there,

I hope that someone can support me.

How can I add another chromecast device id after I have already ran the initial install? If I try to install again, nothing happens. Just looking to add another chromecast (in another module instance) since the initial install.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me the terminal line command.

Love this module so much.

@veego you just repeat the code in config file twice with different ideas. no need to reinstall anything.

in custom.css add :

.MMM-GoogleCast .volumeDiv {visibility:hidden}
.MMM-GoogleCast .volumeIcon {visibility:hidden}

@broberg Thanks!
Added:

.MMM-GoogleCast .deviceStatus {visibility:hidden}

to get ridd of the play icon :)

I have installed this module but I can’t get it to display my Chromecasts. All I get are spinning loading icons. I ran the GetChromecasts.py script and put my device IDs in the config but I can’t seem to get the info to load. Any ideas?

@meckhart I just installed the newest update and everything is working. Not sure what was changed but it seemed to fix whatever issues I was having.

Hello,
First of all, thank you very much for this module ! I have discovered MM a couple of weeks and cannot stop playing with it! I use it not as a photo frame.

I have several google mini, etc at home and managed to install multiple instances of the module on my MM (I have 1 page of the mirror showing 3 different google cast devices and it works perfectly).

I am trying to have MMM-Googlecast showing a minimum of info for a specific device: I just would like to show the type of media (Spotify, etc.), the titel of the song and the artist, with the icons and nothing else (no album cover, no volume icon, etc.). I tried to play with the css (I am a newbee and do not understand CSS at all…) and with custom css, using Visibility:hidden but I am lost with the different possibilities and cannot manage to get exactly what I want.
Do you think it’s feasible?
Many thanks in advance
