Simple Music Player Module

Just for an update on this, I haven’t pushed this to git yet but the new module will now have a playlist where you can scroll through and choose which song to play.

I’m also looking to make the volume scroll ball bigger, so it’s easier to grab. If you saw my demonstration video you can see I had a little bit of trouble grabbing it. Still working on this one though, as I want the size of the ball to remain the same visually but the actual to be larger. Unfortunately though, margin doesn’t seem to detect the dragging event.

Hi not seeing this myself, (the list)

Well that’s because the original doesn’t have it yet… he has updated but not made it available via ‘git pull’ yet :) He’s still tweaking it I believe but I’m sure it’ll be ready soon!

Hi,
I use the module voicecontrol.
How can I change the following to raise the volume?

if (notification === “VOLUME_UP”){
?¿?¿?¿?¿?
}
if (notification === “VOLUME_DOWN”){
?¿?¿?¿
}

Hey @EoF thank you for this module! How is it going with the update?
By the way, I’ve found that when I try to change the volume, it goes random up and down
(for example: I click on the left and the volume goes up, then I click on the center and the volume goes down, then I click on the right and the volume goes up again…) any suggestion? Thanks!

Thanks for the great module. One problem I have is it plays for few seconds and stops automatically. Is there a reason? Please let me know.

Below is the code for the player from config

{
                        module: 'mm-music-player',
                        position: 'bottom_left',
                        config: {
                                 startingVolume: 35,
                                 fadeDuriation: 2000
                                 }
                }

Great work EoF.
Just came over from the YouTube channel to check out your shared knowledge. Pretty awesome stuff man! Thanks for sharing with us, I have not implemented this yet as I’m still working on other kinks in my MM2.
I wonder if any one has found a way to tie into Google Play Music since I have all my music on there already?
Cheers!

*** Hey EoF or anyone that’s possibly reading this, can anyone help with how to/where to load the “MM-Hide-All” files that EoF created to hide all text and make it reappear? All I was able to do was put the “module” text into the config.js and that’s it. LOL
Noob status…

Are you talking about this one? https://github.com/masters1222/mm-hide-all

open a terminal:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/masters1222/mm-hide-all.git

@yawns
Dude, thanks a Mill!

So for this music one it would be
cd to my MagicMirror/modules directory and execute the below as well.
git clone https://github.com/masters1222/mm-music-player

Wow, doesn’t get easier than that! LOL
Thanks for the quick response man!

*** Did an EDIT correction on the which directory to CD to since @cowboysdude was nice enough to point that out, given that I didn’t pay attention. I didn’t want anyone else to find this later and have the same mistake happen to them because of me. LOL

cowboysdude

@1m2 Don’t forget… it’s not the MagicMirror dir it’s the /MagicMirror/modules dir before you do a git clone or you’ll be putting it directly in the MM folder instead of the modules folder ;)

@cowboysdude
Funk it… I was already troubleshooting cause I had already did it! LOL!!!
Now I have to look up how to remove them, I haven’t done linux in 10 years.
That’s what happens when you get too excited and don’t pay attention. DOH.
Thanks!

Just open up a folder and delete it :)

OR from terminal window:

sudo rm -rf folderName

;)

theusu5k

i really like this module,it can’t be done a web version,to control the music player from a web page?

cowboysdude

@theusu5k That gets a lot more difficult…

You have to find an api that allows it…

broberg

@cowboysdude well, he should be able to send http get to the syslog module and then let the syslog send a notification to the player module.

But, well, it’s a long way around 😀

@theusu5k Yeah, Google Music would be a bomb widget on here.

lucallmon

Is there a way to link the music directory to a thumb drive instead of having it in the modules folder on the SD card?

broberg

@lucallmon either you change the directory in the players .js file or you link the music folder to the thumbdrive

dbaler

If you have a nas / networked storage and want to use music files from there, how would you do that?

broberg

@dbaler My higly noobish answer is Samba, and mount a network folder.

dbaler

@broberg Just change the directory in which JS file?
