Re: MMM-Podcast dont´t show the latest video

Hey,

i installed the MMM-Podcast module and it works as it should. I can send a notification or simply press a button, and the video starts playing. Unfortunately its the same video since 3 days. I use the default feedURL (Tagesschau in 100 sek.)

I looked into the Podcast folder with an ftp-program an it says that the video.mp4 was created today at 05:05 am. But its the same video as 3 days before ?!?!?!

I looked at the website of this feed, and there are still newer videos. Maybe someone got the same problem or an idea and can help.

this morning i typed “pm2 flush”.
this evening i checked pm2 logs and it says:

TypeError: this.socketNotificationReceived is not a function
    at Timeout._onTimeout (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Podcast/node_helper.js:32:32)
    at tryOnTimeout (timers.js:232:11)
    at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:202:5)

My config:

{
                        module: 'MMM-Podcast',
                        config: {
                                updateVideoHours: 5,
                                updateVideoMinutes: 5,
                                feedurl: 'http://www.tagesschau.de/export/video-podcast/webxl/tagesschau-in-100-sekunden/'
                        }
                },

thank you :)

Okay… false alarm. Just forget it, it’s working now :D Sorry

No internet connection? ;)

no, but i am new to programming so it was hard for me to find out.
after i checked the pm2 log again i just gave it a try…
Because it says “this.socketNotificationReceived is not a function”

i needed to change a line in the node_helper.js

default one:

else if(this.loaded){
                                omx.play("modules/MMM-Podcast/video.mp4", {audioOutput: 'local'});
                        }
                        else{
                                setTimeout(function(){this.socketNotificationReceived(notification, payload)},2000);
                        }

i changed line 32 to this:

else if(this.loaded){
                                omx.play("modules/MMM-Podcast/video.mp4", {audioOutput: 'local'});
                        }
                        else{
                                setTimeout(function(){self.socketNotificationReceived(notification, payload)},2000);
                        }

i think, that the download of the video.mp4 wasn’t set to “finished” from the script, so a new video would never be downloaded.

Anyhow it works now, but i noticed that the “updateVideoHours” function in the config.js has no effect at all.
The video has been downloaded several times this day (i think 3-4 times).
But thats ok for me, as the video file is updated also 3-4 times from the website. :)

cruunnerr

ok… i am dumb :(

i realized that the video only was downloaded a few times, cause my Mirror restarts all the time. The watchdog module recognized a few Heartbeat timeouts and restarts every time.

So maybe i need to do some troubleshooting first ^^

Ah, debugging. Welcome to the live of a developer. Good luck.

Hi,

I am not sure if I should open a new topic, but somehow it fits here as well.
My MMM-Podcast does not show any video at all.
I use the default feedURL like shown above.

Is it correct that the modul does not show anything on startup or is there a picture of the linked video shown?
I do not have MMM-Button installed, but it should work with “http://IP:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=BUTTON_PRESSED” as well.
Sending the command my browser says “success” but nothing happens. It always shows nothing.

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

Mr.Coffee

No. Unfortunately not.
I don´t know what the issue is. The area were the module should be, is just black.
Nothing happens.
