MMM-AssistantMk2

[Egnos]

Hi @Sean.
I have some questions to ask you:

• I installed AssistantMK2 and Hotword successfully but the only way to wake up the assistant is to say “snowboy”. The hot word “smartmirror” and “jarvis” do not work. Can you help me? (my config.js below…)

• When I ask for a song on youtube I can not stop the song anymore. The assistant does not listen to me. To talk to the assistant I have to wait for the end of the song. How do I solve?

• When the assistant begins to speak, he cuts the first words, is it possible to solve?

• The videos on youtube are reproduced in full screen. Is it possible to reproduce them in a small box (example: bottom right …)?

Thanks you for your great work and patience! :winking_face:

Adjust sensitivity.

When I ask for a song on youtube I can not stop the song anymore. The assistant does not listen to me. To talk to the assistant I have to wait for the end of the song. How do I solve?

set pauseOnYoutube:false. You can activate hotword during videoplaying and it will stop the video. Anyway, there is a risk that your video sounds could also activate hotword.

When the assistant begins to speak, he cuts the first words, is it possible to solve?

I think you are using HDMI as output. HDMI could have that symptom. Use other output.

The videos on youtube are reproduced in full screen. Is it possible to reproduce them in a small box (example: bottom right …)?

Redefine CSS selector #ASSISTANT_YOUTUBE in css/custom.css.

@sean said in MMM-AssistantMk2:

Adjust sensitivity.

The sensitivity of the microphone?
If yes, how do you do it?

@sean said in MMM-AssistantMk2:

Redefine CSS selector #ASSISTANT_YOUTUBE in css/custom.css.

Where should I make this modify?

Thanks a lot!

    hotwords: "smartmirror",

  },

css/custom.css

@jomwells @Sean
I seem to have always had this problem where after a reboot I sometimes need to manually change the hardware number of my usb mic. I saw @jomwells wrote a fix by changing the .asoundrc file but for some reason my system always changes the asoundrc back after any changes I make.
I wonder if you have any ideas of a fix for me?

@teitlebot
As far as I know, there be alias for device instead cardno. But not sure. I’m not familiar with these things.

[Egnos]

Sorry @Sean I’m new in the MagicMirror environment and I do not know all the components.
Where can I find information on what is needed and how to customize the “custom.css” file?
What do you mean:

Redefine CSS selector #ASSISTANT_YOUTUBE in css/custom.css.

MagicMirror use the “custom.css” or “main.css”?

Thanks

[bhepler]

@egnos It uses both. Changes you make to custom.css will 1) be included in the mirror’s display and 2) persist if you update when new mirror code is released.

@egnos
There are 3 endpoints of CSS applied.

• CSS of module itself(modules/SOMEMODULE/SOMEMODULE.css) : It is predefined CSS for module by it’s developer.
• main magicmirror css (css/main.css) : This is common CSS for Mirror itself and basic default module CSS.
• custom css (css/custom.css) : When you need to modify some CSS rules over SOMEMODULE.css and main.css, You can redefine or override that CSS rules here.

By example;
#ASSISTANT_YOUTUBE is defined in modules/MMM-AssistantMk2/MMM-AssistantMk2.js like this;

#ASSISTANT_YOUTUBE {
  width:100%;
  height:100%;
  border:none;
  display:none;
  position:fixed;
  top:0;
  left:0;
  background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
  z-index:99999;
}

When you want to modify some CSS rules - smaller size -, you can override those rules in your css/custom.css instead modify MMM-AssisntantMk2.js directly.

#ASSISTANT_YOUTUBE {
  width: 50%;
  height:50%;
  top: 25%;
  left: 25%;
}
