@Sean Thank you very much

Hi @Sean,
I did the git pull and then try it, but I can’t seem to make it do anything, even the /yt commands that already were working.

All I can see is this message in the console:
[TELBOT] [2019-11-04 12:26:04]Message is cominf from CHAT: Number

And nothing happens in the mirror screen, not with /yt or /yl. If I do a /yc getVolume it gives me the right number, so I get the module is loaded.

My config is:
{
disabled: false,
module: “MMM-YouTube”,
position: “fullscreen_below”,
config: {
verbose:true,
},
},

Any ideas where I should look?
Thanks in advanced

Well, with my test, there is no problem to execute at all.
If you see [TELBOT] [2019-11-04 12:26:04]Message is cominf from CHAT: Number, your telegram messages are received properly.
Check if you have a front-end error. (With npm start dev or Ctrl+i)
Or you can check by removing all other modules from config except MMM-YouTube and MMM-TelegramBot.

@Sean Thank you again,

Just as data, could be useful or not, I can play just some videos; with only TelegramBot and MMM-YouTube modules loaded or with all I got, it doesn’t matter:

PLAY OK
/yt https://youtu.be/5KJiO8W9iyg

DOESN’T PLAY (the mirror does nothing at all)
/yt https://youtu.be/y83x7MgzWOA
/yl PLDIoUOhQQPlXr63I_vwF9GD8sAKh77dWU

Hmmm. with my test, it works well.
With verbose:true option, in dev-console you can see what’s going on. Try and tell me what’s significantly suspicious?

[rafaelcota]

@Sean The messages are now clear, “Not allowed By Owner”

I guess there’s nothing I can do but finding videos that are allowed to be played outside YouTube.

Thank’s again

Hi,

I’m wondering if it possible to run the module but to not display the video?
I would like to have just the audio.

Thanks.

@mosheva
Hmmmm… difficult question. Maybe with CSS, it could be but I haven’t tested.

[mosheva]

@Sean @Sean Thanks, is there a way to make the youtube screen 1px by 1px? :)
the smaller option in the code is “small”…

[iwaldrum]

Love the module. Is it possible to add a feature to allow you to change the video being streamed after a certain amount of time? I’d like to cycle through multiple live video camera streams.

Hi @Sean ,
I installed your module and thank you for your effort.

I did not understand how do I send YouTube videos to the MM …
Could you explain to me?

Many thanks.

[A Former User]

@Egnos
You can use a few methods; via TelegramBot commands, notifications from other modules.
Which usecase are you considering?

[Egnos]

Thanks @Sean
Unfortunately I thought there was the possibility of sending youtube videos via smartphone using “RaspiCast” or something similar…

Could you recommend some module?

[A Former User]

@Egnos
MMM-TelegramBot. You can send like this on telegram;

/yt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAB3gziF9R4

Or you can use MMM-Remote-Control or other HTTP Request Receiver modules (e.g: MMM-NotificationTrigger),
But additional typing is somewhat annoying.

@Sean said in MMM-YouTube:

MMM-Remote-Control

Thanks for your advises, but I chose to use RaspiCast directly to share the videos (when the video ends the MM returns…).

Do you know how to mute the sound of the MM (not the Raspberry …)?

[A Former User]

@iwaldrum
Well, ideally possible. But I think you’d better make playlist to play several video sequentially.

[iwaldrum]

@Sean Thanks Sean. Is there a way to limit the amount of time for each video in the playlist? Only play for 30 seconds, then switch to the next video in the playlist?

[A Former User]

@iwaldrum
Maybe possible. As far as I know, There are several scheduling modules. Or you can use cron. Emit notification per 30 seconds.
But, If I were you, I would just make a summary video clip with 30 seconds of each videos. :D

Hi! How do I get rid of black borders around the video, i.e. stretch/fill/crop the video?
