Module: iFrame! Starting Video automatically!

lolobyte

Hello Ramirez.

The video is starting but only once.
Then, when i restart the magicmirror.

I realized the link http://media.tagesschau.de/video/100s/2016/1228/TV-100s-1841.podm.h264.mp4, is no option.
The video is not really the actual newest information of the day. I must use one of the other links.

My plan was to became a possibility to start every time when i activate the iframe module with the first tapping on “iFrame” with the hep of the module “Remote-Control”.

Hello @lolobyte,
that is exactly what i also wanted to do. Starting the Tagesschau or whatever with the “Remote-Control” module. Did you found a solution for your problem?

lolobyte

@Morningstar

Hello, no sorry. I didn’t find a solution and also no helping hand for that.

Morningstar

Har. That’s sad. Then I need to check the possibilities by myself. I thought I just wait some time and the problem solves itself.

Would it work for you guys if I implement a config parameter for the Remote Control, similar to the ones I use for my Buttons module (notification specification), and you can create custom Buttons with this specification for the remote control?

@Jopyth

That will be great.

But on e or more things to this thematic.

It is not the problem to load the movie with iFrame. The problem is if the Frame is loaded, you must simulate a mouse button to start this movie.

This Movie is not like one from YouTube. They can run automatically with the option autoplay=1.

The Stream from the “Tagesschau in 100 Sekunden” needs an initial starting sequence.

@lolobyte The problem for “Tagesschau in 100 Sekunden” you can not using autoplay variable because is a parameter of Youtube. I think the integration with they will not possible with Iframe. Maybe a stream video module o something like that, I dont know if exists one. If not exists you can create one for this purpose.

Jopyth

@roramirez is right I think.

@lolobyte I thought you guys were talking about this module: https://github.com/ptrbld/MMM-Podcast? Does it not work?

Morningstar

@Jopyth @roramirez exact. You are right. This is the Module I am using. But it will only start with a Hardwarebutton. So last night i added an extra menubutton to the Remote-Control, which will send the notification “BUTTON_PRESSED” to all modules (i hope also to the PodcastModule) and then the Video should start.
That’s the theory. But i ended at the point where the Notification will be send. I also have some trouble with the podcast video download. etc.

Anyway. I figured out 3 ways to realize the “Remote Start a Video”

use the Podcast-Module

with the Tagesschau in 100 Sek RSS

use Iframe

and the channel “project ambr” (just search “Tagesschau in 100 sekunden” on youtube), where the latest TS100s will be uploaded every time a new one is released
here it’s possible to use autoplay, but i could not find a permanent link to the newest video of this channel

use Iframe

and show the whole TS Website
there the autoplay is ON by default
negative points: you see the whole website around, when switching the iFrame off, while the video plays the sound will not switch off. Only the iFrame disappears. (logic cause it’s a visible switch)

ALL of them use the Remote to

switch the Iframe / podcast module ON
switch all other modules off
start the video either by notification or automated

Have you been able to solve it? Is there anything missing you would need in the Buttons or Remote Control module?
