    MMM-pages - how to know which page index my module has?

      Hi,

      I am currently adopting MMM-MPlayer to interact with MMM-pages.
      Reason is that suspending the module does not suspend (stop) the stream, as it is an overlay.
      As long as MMM-MPlayer is running, it will always display the stream.

      From the config I can deduct the page index (3 in this case):

            modules: [
              ["compliments"], // page 1
              ["MMM-YrThen"], // page 2
              ["calendar"], // page 3
              ["MMM-MPlayer"], // page 4
            ],
      

      And I see that reflected in the log:

      0|MagicMirror  | [2025-01-18 16:13:55.383] [LOG]   [MMM-MPlayer.js:65:15] Received MMM-pages NEW_PAGE 3
      0|MagicMirror  | [2025-01-18 16:13:55.804] [LOG]   [module.js:189:7] compliments is suspended.
      0|MagicMirror  | [2025-01-18 16:13:55.835] [LOG]   [module.js:189:7] calendar is suspended.
      0|MagicMirror  | [2025-01-18 16:13:55.917] [LOG]   [module.js:189:7] MMM-YrThen is suspended.
      0|MagicMirror  | [2025-01-18 16:13:56.395] [LOG]   [module.js:196:7] clock is resumed.
      0|MagicMirror  | [2025-01-18 16:13:56.439] [LOG]   [module.js:196:7] MMM-MPlayer is resumed.
      

      But I would need to see my module name in the payload (MMM-MPlayer in this case), to act on the correct page index.

      Come to think of it, I also would need the keyword suspended or resumedin the payload, in order to know what to do.

      Any thoughts on this ?

      Best regards,

      E.J.

        @evroom sorry, don’t quite understand

        your module would support the suspend/resume functions and be called at each appropriately

        MMM-pages calls hide and show

        there is also a ‘different’ way to configure pages

        use an arbitrary name for each page

        and then add that to the classes of the modules you want on that page

          from my SampleModule.js

          	// system notification your module is being hidden
          	// typically you would stop doing UI updates (getDom/updateDom) if the module is hidden
          	suspend: function(){
          
          	},
          
          	// system notification your module is being unhidden/shown
          	// typically you would resume doing UI updates (getDom/updateDom) if the module is shown
          	resume: function(){
          
          	},

            @evroom my MMM-SleepWake uses an external trigger to cause modules to be shown/hidden (screen saver where the screen won’t turn off)

            I provide a commandline command to interact with the module…
            i use a webcam with the motion project daemon to trigger show/hide

              Yeah, this module is kind of in my foster care.
              I did not come up with the code; only made some tweaks and made it available.
              There is not suspend or resume to been seen in the code.

              But I will study the stuff you mentioned and will try to implement that.

              Thx.

                As a workaround, I will make it a requirement to put the MMM-Player on the first page (page index 0).
                When I receive 0, then I will start streaming, otherwise I will stop streaming.
                That seems to work.

                  Short question:

                  There are 2 versions of MMM-pages:

                  https://github.com/edward-shen/MMM-pages
                  https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-pages

                  They seem in-sync, but which one would be the preferred one to take?

                    @evroom the core function is the same
                    i added the ability to have different page display times

                    i wrote the doc on the fixed page name approach

                    as you are using a notification now
                    just move that to suspend (same as index=0)
                    and the resume wakes you back up

                      He has the MMM-MPlayer working in pages and I am now using pages and MPlayer in my main MM.
                      Kinda of cool to be able to show a RSTP camera or 2 again…

                      Slow learner. But trying anyways.
