MMM-MovieInfo

SilentJbob1680

Hi, I just recently discovered MM2 & have started on putting it together. This is a fresh install of MM2 & the MovieInfo module however the module is not getting the images.
This is my config.js

{
    module: 'MMM-MovieInfo',
    position: 'bottom_left',
    config: {
		api_key: ""
    }
},

The module shows everything but the image or Poster art. Inspecting the page in Google Chrome results in this appearing:

GET https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w185_and_h278_bestv2/undefined 404 ()

Further examination of the movieinfo.js file shows

const poster = document.createElement('img');
            poster.classList.add('poster');
            poster.src = `https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w185_and_h278_bestv2/${movie.posterPath}`;
            wrapper.appendChild(poster);

here’s a SS via vnc:

How can I fix this issue? I know nothing of javascript or programming unfortunately so baby steps in explaining a fix please :)

For some reason they changed the variable containing the path to the image from posterPath to poster_path

You could change this

const poster = document.createElement('img');
            poster.classList.add('poster');
            poster.src = `https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w185_and_h278_bestv2/${movie.posterPath}`;
            wrapper.appendChild(poster);

to this

const poster = document.createElement('img');
            poster.classList.add('poster');
            poster.src = `https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w185_and_h278_bestv2/${movie.poster_path}`;
            wrapper.appendChild(poster);

for an immediate fix, or you could wait for strawberry to fix it on github and provide a new version. If you fix it on your own you will need to revert the changes before you can update once strawberry provided the update.

Hello.

I seem to be having issues in setting up the correct config.js. What am I doing wrong? Here is the code I am trying to use.

 {
                        module: 'MMM-MovieInfo',
                        position: 'bottom_left',
                        config: {
                        discover: {
                                "certification_country": "US",
                                "certification.lte": "G",
                                "sort_by": "popularity.desc"
                                 }
                        updateInterval: '1080000',
                        rotateInterval: '180000',
                        api_key: ' '

                        }
                },

Hi there! Would there be a possibility to have a config option to set the number of movies to show (as a configurable table)?
Also, I read that they now support TV-Shows as well… It would be cool to get that integrated as well :)

Ex something like this would be cool…

config: {
  columns: 2,
  titles: 6,
  type: {
    "tv": 1,
   "movie": 1,
  }
  discover: {
    "sort_by": "vote_average.desc"
  }
}

That would give a table that holds 2 columns with 6 rows altering TV-Shows and Movies, descending by votes… 8)

@strawberry-3.141 Thanks for the help. However, it still did not seem to fix it. It’s only the MovieInfo module that seems to be causing the mirror to not load. Would it be possible to show me your MovieInfo config?

@Jacob this config

{
  module: 'MMM-MovieInfo',
  position: 'bottom_left',
  config: {
    discover: {
      "certification_country": "US",
      "certification.lte": "G",
      "sort_by": "popularity.desc"
    },
    updateInterval: 1080000,
    rotateInterval: 180000,
    api_key: 'PUTYOURAPIKEYHERE'
  }
},

results in

@strawberry-3.141 Thanks Strawberry. I just started with a clean config and that seems to have fixed it. I appreciate your help and thank you for the module.

Regards,

Jacob.
