var recipe = {

    commands: {
        "playVideo": {
            shellExec: {
            exec: "vlc --play-and-exit -f /path_to_file/modules/recipe/video1.mp4",
                // This command will play the video using VLC.

If you want the vlc to just play the video without exiting, just remove " --play-and-exit".

Happy mirroring,

Jarvis (or whatever hot word you picked)
“I’m back home”

words with contractions (“I’m”) are particularly hard to match

start w something simple, “play video”

vlc -f file:///home/MagicMirror/video1.mp4

Thank you, Sam,

Actually , It worked, the command execute the mp4 file,

does the whole command you have in the recipe work

vlc -f file:///home/MagicMirror/video1.mp4

or the cvlc command as it suggests

r:~/MagicMirror$ vlc
VLC media player 3.0.16 Vetinari (revision 3.0.13-8-g41878ff4f2)
[0000555bf0104640] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[0000555bf01a52d0] main playlist: playlist is empty

does that work?

if not then it won’t work from the recipe either.

I don’t know how to play video or music from the terminal window by command, so I can’t help you there. but the recipe is how you connect ga to doing things like this.

Actually, I tried, many times, but nothing worked,

Please have a look

var recipe = {
    transcriptionHooks: {
        "imBackHome": {
            pattern: "I'm back home",
            command: "playVideo"
        }
    },

    commands: {
        "playVideo": {
            shellExec: {
                exec: "vlc -f file:///home/MagicMirror/video1.mp4"
                
            }
        }
    }
};

exports.recipe = recipe;

so you have to make/invent one

of course one has know what to do when the voice command comes in
.where does the video or music come from? local disk? so you need the filename

from the web? how did that happen? was there a search?

what plays that? how do you invoke it.

Would you please explain about the recipe folder method, because I tried it many times, and nothing works,

I want to say to GA by example, Jarvis, Good morning, and Jarvis respond with that small video.

Very simple yet Can’t find a model or method to do it.

Thank you very much

Regards

do you have a command that will play a video?
or music?
