@johnnyboy looking at the modules read me linked above it uses youtube api to search for the video and an iframe to display the video from youtube on the mirror. And it uses google api to search for images to display.
so no @arthurross you can disregard what johnnyboy is mentioning.
But just looking at the read me it looks like a module with a certain degree of difficulty to pinpoint issues with unless you actually have access to the mirror it’s being used on (many points that could have been overlooked when installing).
Do you get the module to display text? How do you know that alexa is responding? By audio confirmation?
sudo shouldn’t be used unless actually defined in the instructions, that could create access issues for the main mirror software.

@johnnyboy there is some issues with iframes due to cross domain restrictions. And I believe the biggest issue with iframes and youtube is that you can’t control playback (i.e pause/play, stop etc).
I.e Loading a video with autoplay in an iframe does work, but to stop it you would have to close the iframe. (Somebody else with more knowledge on this should confirm or deny this)
And the google requests in this module seems to use the api from google and not the actual webpage for searching, thus no fuzz with the cross domain restrictions

Hi Broberg,
After a fresh install of the modules I managed to get Youtube working. Just no text nor images from Google.
Do you know what’s wrong? -
@arthurross maybe the voice part doesn’t recognize the command for images and text?
Other than that I’m lost
