sam, i suspect a bug in electron

chown root and chmod 4755 ?

[sdetweil]

@Bugsounet yes, what my script does…

not a bug, new feature

[A Former User]

yes but i don’t understand why … with pulseaudio there is no sound but with root it’s works …

There is a permission missing somewhere

[sdetweil]

@Bugsounet sorry, got no idea what the side effects are…

they wanted some additional security

are u launching a player as a background task, or playing direct to the device? if the latter then u get all the security crap

sam:

in RPI4: it’s works

i have no idea if @dvbit it’s the same

Note: this Issue take me head since 6 month

@Bugsounet yes, added in V6 of electron (and chrome 45 I think?) we are running 6.1.7

[A Former User]

pi@Raspberry:~/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist $ ./electron -v
v6.1.12

[sdetweil]

@Bugsounet weird we call for 6.1.7 or above

"electron": "^6.1.7"

@Bugsounet

Hello,
Indeed, I did not understand well in WIKI.

If it can be used for others, you must create a token.js file and insert the code:

ACCESSTOKEN=ya29.a0AfH6SMABBPj590X_itMQG616F8QpxddhPVuSXCE4qvZs6znHKbG2n5RggszFMdl0V5HP0lf956H9O7VHlbuGuMxSzkU3pMkdbpFxs485NwfXYl9T7hfLzB0EOPlRTwcifZW-8rIUlZlWXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Now it works perfectly,

Thank you so much,

Regards,

[A Former User]

but only in 6.x.x branch

actually electron is releasing with v9 ;)

@dvbit said in mmm assistant mk2:

Update: I reinstalled from scratch (again for a2d I had to do a npm rebuild, you may want to take note)

Still the same issue of assistant hanging after query:
I do the query, hotword recognized, query recognized, answer fetched, answer saved in temp and displayed on screen bottom but no audio feedback and gogle spin icon going.
After refreshing the screen goes again in “steady state”

Now I am sure I have a sound output issue.
Meaning that I can play sounds on the mirror via vlc but somehow the plugin cannot.
I guess that somehow the plugin does not receive a feedback of “play ended” from the output.
What I also noticed is that if I refresh the browser by vnc the mirror will go again in a waiting status.
Will continue checking

could it be this: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1243

Edit: Nope - vlc outputs sound

IMPORTANT:
The Install script for the audio output was succesfull just the first time.
on second install I skipped the output part as I could not get through indeed.
However the input was working just fine. recorded my voice and could hear it.

Posting here my asoundrc file

pcm.!default {
  type asym
  playback.pcm {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "output"
  }
  capture.pcm {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "input"
  }
}

pcm.output {
  type hw
  card 0
}

ctl.!default {
  type hw
  card 0

Input is : kinect microphones
Output : TV speakers (directly through TV speakers)

[sdetweil]

@Bugsounet it also has sandbox…

we just moved up to V6 from V3 on 2.10, some things newer don’t work on pi…

sam : you have right

permission is not set

After 6 month … maybe it will be solved !

No output. here is the detail listing of the folder.
I do not see any timestamps changed…

[sdetweil]

@Bugsounet don’t count on it!!

[A Former User]

[sdetweil]

@dvbit have to do from the MagicMirror folder… sorry, will fix for future
