MMM-MP3Player (remade asimhsidd's player)

x3mEr

UPD:

Version 1.2.0 - 2020.09.14

Now player displays album cover. It tries to retrieve the image from ID3-Tags, if nothing found, it searches file cover.jpg in the playing music file directory.
add: turn random on/off over notifications.
more in README.md

@jonae looks like from the code, it can play music that is defined in the config.

				case "PLAY_MUSIC":
					if (audioElement.paused){
						audioElement.play();
					}
					else {
						self.sendSocketNotification("LOADFILE", self.songs[self.current]);
					}
					break;
				case "STOP_MUSIC":
					audioElement.pause();
					break;
				case "NEXT_TRACK":
					if(!self.musicFound){
						self.album_art.classList.toggle('active');
						return;
					}
					if (self.config.random){
						if (!arrPlayed.includes(false)){
							arrPlayed.fill(false);
						}
						do {
							ind = Math.floor(Math.random() * self.songs.length); // (self.current + 1) % self.songs.length;
						} while (arrPlayed[ind] || ind == self.current); // ind == self.current: not to play one song twice - in the end of list and in the beginning of newly created list)
						arrPlayed[ind] = true;
						self.current = ind;
					}
					else {
						if(self.current==(self.songs.length-1)){ // this assures the loop
							self.current = -1;
						}
						self.current++;
					}
					self.sendSocketNotification("LOADFILE", self.songs[self.current]);
					break;
				case "PREVIOUS_TRACK":
					if(self.current==0){ // this assures the loop
							self.current = (self.songs.length);
						}
					self.current--;
					self.sendSocketNotification("LOADFILE", self.songs[self.current]);
					break;
				case "RANDOM_ON":
					self.config.random = true;
					break;
				case "RANDOM_OFF":
					self.config.random = false;
					break;

@sdetweil i saw that, i send the notification and nothing happens…

sdetweil

@jonae do you have the music defined in config?

u can use the developers window, sources tab to walk thru the modules code

ctrl-shift-i, select the sources tab, find the module and its js file, will show to the right

click the line number in the left edge where the notificationReceived is

then send your notification and it shoudl stop there, then the circle arrow, is step instruction
and u can hover over the variables to see what they contain

blue arrow to run to next stop (if any)

Jonae

@sdetweil thanks for the tipp, but nothing happens. like it is ignoring the notification, maybe remote control is not sending the right notification…

sdetweil

@jonae notification is a text string

notification is just a text string, here its ‘PLAY_MUSIC’

u have to configure that as remote doesn’t have it built in.

Jonae

@sdetweil i have done it with curl, but now I am searching a easier way to play and stop music using curl

sdetweil

@jonae ok, can’t help with remote and I don’t use that module

Jonae

@sdetweil thanks anyways!!
