Youāre on your own. Just make sure the fridge is full. ;-)

@Fozi Very nice work! How do you play the sound of the Tagesschau stream? I donāt see a loudspeaker in your setup.
-
@ttarzan thanks a lot!
The sound comes from the speakers which where already built in the monitor. So I had not to deal with additional speakers and cableing. The audio output goes over HDMI right into the monitor.To be honest, donāt expect a spectacular sound, as these are tiny 2W speakers and provide no bass. But they serve the purpose.

@Fozi Looks nice šš¼ great job
-
@Fozi the Tv stream is that a Module ?
-
@Stoffbeuteluwe Thanks for the compliments.
Yes, this is the MMM-Podcast2 module, which loads the āTagesschau in 100 Sek.ā video podcast and displays it via the omxplayer. So it displays a video, but it is no live TV stream.
You also need to have MMM-Buttons and MMM-Remote-Control installed to use it. Standalone the module will not work.Note: the video is not running inside the electron wrapper, but is overlayed over the desktop.

@Fozi sorry to be a constant pain but what are your thoughts on using a led TV instead of the VA monitor?
-
@bachoo786 Well, I think a LED TV instead a VA monitor could be an equally good choice.
I have here on my desk an elder Samsung 22" LED TV, which I use a a second monitor and for development of my MM setup. The contrast is great and I had this monitor used for my MM. But I decided to keep it, due to the TV function.Maybe you checkout this recent thread, where the TV option was discussed, too?

Looks great.
May i ask how you got MMM-withings to work? When i go to their site at step 4, i just get this error :(
