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

[sdetweil]

@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

@sdetweil
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…

@plainbroke cool

@evroom said in MMM-pages - how to know which page index my module has?:

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.

Hi

Trying to use the mmm-mplayer module with mmm-pages, and it works fine, as you say, when the page index is 0.

However, I’d like to use it to only show video when called via notification

I have a single main page (without mplayer) - that shows all the time - and a single hidden page (with mplayer) to be shown when called via notification and then return the the main page with another notification.

I can’t currently implement this. Any ideas?

Thanks very much

@mvrlogins why not? what triggers the notification??

button, command , …

you could prove this with the MMM-CommandtoNotification module

I’m using MMM-Remote Control

The issue is that the video is shown all the time on page0.

I have 2 pages set up with MMM-Pages

• 1 page to be shown all the time
• 1 hidden page to be shown only when called.

The video needs to be on the hidden page. If I put classes : “hidden_page” under MMM-Player, the video feed shows on the page0 regardless.

The hidden page, when called, shows only the header fro MMM-Player and is otherwise blank

The page calling works fine with MMM-RemoteControl

 {
        module: "MMM-pages",
        config: {
            rotationTime: 1000 * 20, // rotate every 20 seconds
            modules: [
                ["page1"],           // class name for page 1
            ],
            fixed: ["fixed_page"],
            hiddenPages: {
                "Doorbell": ["doorbell_page"],
           
            }
        }
    },

and

{
	module: 'MMM-MPlayer',
        classes: "doorbell_page",
        disabled: false,
        position: "top_left",
        header: "MPlayer",
	config: {
	  useTwoWindows: true,
	  layout: 'column',
	  monitorAspect: 0,
	  rotate: -1,
	  windowSize: { width: 640, height: 480 },
	  windowPosition: { x: 5, y: 225 },
	  streamInterval: 30000,
	  streams: {
		window1: [
		  'rtsp://10.0.1.1:7447/gv9eHrB9yZyPhgvN',
		],
		window2: [
		  'rtsp://10.0.1.1:7447/D89zTJyDwN8YtKix',
		  
		]
	  }
	}
},

Only thing I can think of right now is to put the video on page0 and the rest on page1

and then use a combination of the PAGE_CHANGED and PAUSE_ROTATION notifications to get what I want

Or is there a way to permanently pause rotation?

Then I can only use the PAGE_CHANGED call to get to the page I want

would the below disable rotation?

rotationTime: 1000 * 0,

@mvrlogins i believe so. but you should have been able to send the notification for the named hidden page

“SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE”, “Doorbell”

right?!

Yes, the notification works fine.

But mplayer does not show up on the hidden page, only on the main page

[sdetweil]

@mvrlogins hm, that makes no sense as the MagicMirror operations are the same
