Help with MMM-EmbedURL

[TK421_VT]

@sdetweil Thank you for trying to help, but even after reading the readme there are terms or concepts I don’t follow.

This is at the beginning of the config file:

let config = {
electronOptions: {
webPreferences: {
webviewTag: true,
}
},
address: “localhost”, // Address to listen on, can be:

Then this in the module:

{
module: “MMM-EmbedURL”,
position: “top_right”,
header: “Current Weather”,
embedElementType: “webview”,
basicElementType: “div”,
config: {
updateInterval: 120,
attributes: [
“frameborder=0”,
],
embed: [
“https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVTCAMBR4?cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash”
]
},
},

this is what I see in the terminal log:

[16.12.2022 21:55.38.765] [ERROR] (node:57092) electron: Failed to load URL: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVTCAMBR4?cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash with error: ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE

@TK421_VT Hi,

your config looks good.
There is one last thing we can try. Can you please use your IP address (the one of the Pi) instead of localhost at the address setting.

You can get your IP either by hovering over the network icon in the top right corner of the screen or by entering

ip a

in the shell.

I had this changed for some other modules in my config cause of Cross-Origin problems and it is the only thing that is different in my setup.

[TK421_VT]

@wishmaster270 Thanks I will give that a try, I know the IP as I set it statically.

[TK421_VT]

@TK421_VT Sorry for the delay, I have been busy with Holiday stuff. I added the IP address in the config file

it still doesn’t load anything in the top right region.

This is what is in the module section in the config file

Any other thoughts?

[wishmaster270]

@TK421_VT Hi,

that’s weird.
Do you still have Webview enabled in the config with:

electronOptions: {
  webPreferences: {
    webviewTag: true,
  }
},

[TK421_VT]

@wishmaster270 I will look, I ‘think’ so. but I am not sure.

[TK421_VT]

[wishmaster270]

@TK421_VT Sorry for the late response. I will need to set up a identical environment to debug the problem. I will try to figure things out in the next days.

[wishmaster270]

@TK421_VT

I setup a new environment today and tested your configuration. There are a few issues with it i did not see cause you did not use the code signs to paste your configuration in the forum.
Please use the
```
YOUR CONFIGURATION
```

which results in

YOUR CONFIGURATION

next time.

First thing is that you set the basicElementType and embedElementType in the wrong level. They need to be set as child object of config.

The second problem is that you use a wrong time of double quotes. It looks like your editor uses a wired type of encoding.

“

is not the same as

"

With the following config everything works well:

@wishmaster270 the bad " is because of the no code wrapper

see this

"something"

vs this
“something”

copy/paste of the second will cause bad config message

@TK421_VT to use the code wrapper

paste your text in the message editor, select it all
the hit the button above the edit that looks like </>

note the code wrapper tag MUST start and end on a blank line…

[TK421_VT]

@wishmaster270 Moving basicElementType & embedElementTpe into the correct location seemed to work.

Is there any way to make the window Wider or Longer? Or is it this size because of the region it is set in?

@wishmaster270 No worries on the late reply, the holidays are a busy time!

[sdetweil]

@TK421_VT note that I edited your post to add code wrapper around your config.js content

you placed it around the words 'your configuration ', which was supposed to mean the content of the config.js on you MagicMirror installation

[wishmaster270]

@TK421_VT
I took your whole config, copied to my mirror and only changed the ip address to my needs. Everything is working fine here. It takes a second to fetch the information of the weather but it is displayed as it should.

The only thing i think is left that can cause the problems is that not electron is used to display the mirror.

Edit:
Did not see that it is working now. Please read my other post about sizing instead

[wishmaster270]

@TK421_VT
Hi and sorry,

i did not see that it is working now. Yes you can adjust the size (as suggested in the documentation) by adding a few lines to your custom.css file:

.MMM-EmbedURL .embed .embeded {
    width: 800px;
    height: 400px;
}

[TK421_VT]

@wishmaster270 Ok, this sounds great, but one more dumb question, where is the custom.css file?

Please forgive all my dumb questions and bad posts; this forum is new to me, and I am not a coder by trade, I am more of a hardware guy.

[TK421_VT]

I see this in the Readme, but It doesn’t mean much to me:

[sdetweil]

@TK421_VT custom.css is an optional file u can create in the css folder.

if you use my install script I create it for you
