Cannot get MMM-EmbedURL to show any sites

@unaccomplished can you look at the messages where you start MagicMirror

if you are using pm2, then
pm2 logs --lines=50

may show them

typically I recommend NOT using pm2 when adding and changing modules as it makes access to the logs harder…

I see

I put one of my MM web pages in the embed list and it also doesn’t show… altho the embed content is in the MM elements page view
and the page works correctly when viewed in a browser (the page is hosted by MM)

never tried the module before

Hi,

just tried your config in my setup and everything worked as expected.

The question is…where are the differences in your and mine setup.

As a first try you can replace embedElementType: "webview," with embedElementType: "iframe,".

If the embeded pages does not block embedding iframe should work and you do not weaken any security settings of the electron browser.

Additionally you can replace "frameborder=0", with "frameborder=1",. You should see two boxes at least then. Even if the sites could not be embedded.

@sdetweil Are you sure you set the security settings of electron? Without them electron will not support webview and will not display anything.

Are you sure you set the security settings of electron?

no… I viewed that as optional if doing webview…(electron javascript content) but I am viewing an html page. (altho hosted by MM)

If do use the build in electron browser to view the mirror you can use Webview instead

my config

      {
  module: "MMM-EmbedURL",
  position: "top_left",
  header: "Embed-URL",
  config: {
    updateInterval: 120,
    attributes: [
        "frameborder=0",
    ],
    embed: [
        "http://localhost:8090/modules/MMM-Config/review/",
        "https://cnn.com"
    ]
  },
},

It seems this is the most relevant error in the log:

/home/MagicMirrorPi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGINT

Here are my error logs:

The two wrapper errors and the two Wallberry warnings have been perpetual, but don’t seem to affect anything. If you have any insight on these, I’d appreciate it.

I also noted this from the out-put log:

0|MagicMir | ### OTHER:    timeZone: America/New_York; ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU: undefined
0|MagicMir | [2024-12-04 17:53:26.965] [LOG]   Electron's cache successfully cleared.

and later in the same log:

0|MagicMir | [2024-12-04 17:53:34.199] [INFO]  Checking git for module: MMM-EmbedURL
0|MagicMir | [2024-12-04 17:53:34.289] [LOG]   resizing done!

I don’t think these are errors, at least not in the context provided.

Hi,

just tried your config in my setup and everything worked as expected.

The question is…where are the differences in your and mine setup.

As a first try you can replace embedElementType: "webview," with embedElementType: "iframe,".

If the embeded pages does not block embedding iframe should work and you do not weaken any security settings of the electron browser.

Additionally you can replace "frameborder=0", with "frameborder=1",. You should see two boxes at least then. Even if the sites could not be embedded.

@sdetweil Are you sure you set the security settings of electron? Without them electron will not support webview and will not display anything.

I updated the config as requested, once without, and then with “iframe”.

{
                       module: "MMM-EmbedURL",
                       position: "upper_third",
                       header: "Embed-URL",
                       config: {
                               updateInterval: 120,
                               embedElementType: "iframe",
                               attributes: [
                                       "frameborder=1",
                               ],
                               embed: [
                                       "http://10.0.0.51:50081/ui3.htm?t=live&cam=Doorbell&maximize=1",
                                       "https://www.youtube.com/embed/dIHr96KqfDI",
                               ]
                       },
               },

Without switching to iframe, the frameborder made no difference. Now with iframe, I have two blank boxes appearing.

sdetweil

@unaccomplished I agree, not the errors I was seeing…

so @wishmaster270 will have to help more

sdetweil

@unaccomplished your code markers MUST start in column 1.

@sdetweil

Sorry, is it a formatting error in my comments, or in my config file?

@wishmaster270 Mine was a user error

I had MMM-Pages enabled, and EmbedURL was not on any page… oops…
the MM page embedded and cnn did not…
