Simple Music Player Module

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?

broberg

@dbaler If you are not using the default Music folder you could actually mount your network folder directly in that folder. No need to alter anything in the js files

Here is a easy to follow tutorial on how you mount a smb share in linux :

@cowboysdude Is that “show list” already available?

Hi Eof,
Do you know why mm-music-player module is not loading even i added below code to config file? I downloaded and copied mm-music-player folder to MM’s Modules folder. Do i need to do something else?

{
module: ‘mm-music-player’,
position: ‘bottom_left’,
config: {
startingVolume: 20,
fadeDuriation: 2000
}
}

Thank you!

Hi aro28,

I had the same problem, so I decided to take a look at why this module couldn’t be loaded.

The issues is in the Node_Helper.js given, which is mistaken. The structure is wrong. It looks like a quick adaptation of a ctrl+C/ctrl+V made from index.js, found in the node_helper folder (MM core folders).

I’m actually tweeking it a bit. I’ll give you news when i get it worked nicely.
(In fact, it seems i can now load it, but since my speaker are broke, i cant be sure it reads files… I’ll change them tomorrow)
