MP3 Player

[mumblebaj]

@bachoo786 I am a little confused, which module are you building? MMM-Mp3Player or MMM-QuranPlayer? Can you share the Github link to it?

[bachoo786]

@mumblebaj well I am trying to implement a “module” which satisfies my needs of playing any mp3 file. I do want to play the Quran but like I said initially it could play any mp3 file.

I do not have a Github link as of now sorry.

@bachoo786 said in MP3 Player:

button.addEventListener(“click”, function() {

change that to

button.addEventListener(“click”,()=>{

and change the self.sendNotification
to this.sendNotification

at the time the click event happens, you are not in the module code, but in the browser.

and the getDom() function has long since ended. you want the runtime to remember the context before it executes any code.
the arrow invocation ()=>{} does that, while the function(){} type invocation does not

[bachoo786]

@sdetweil Hey Sam

I did the changes but when i click on the “Play” or any button the mp3 file isnt played and I get this error on the developer console:

@bachoo786 hmm…change the this. to self. weird… because it says not a member of htmlElement .

[bachoo786]

@sdetweil

Nope doesn’t work.

I feel like going back to the old MP3 Player module that you helped.set up and just changing the css from the disc to something more modern and futuristic with better buttons etc.

Oh and also adding a playlist of mp3s which should be read from the mp3 folder. Display the module in half where the half on the left displays the playlist and the one on the right displays the player buttons etc.

Is that possible you think?

[sdetweil]

@bachoo786 no idea really. need to think.

do you have a git repo I can clone to look at

[bachoo786]

@sdetweil I dont I am afraid.

Do you think posting the codes on here would be suffice? the node-helper, js and the css files?

@bachoo786 better if you make a github repo

but the main problem is you cannot sendNotification to yourself…

BUT you CAN call the notificationReceived function instead
