What else do I need to do for install for mmm-assistantmk2 to play youtube.
I try the same command say Celine Dion The power of love. Then pop up below detail about Celine Dion and the youtube video automatically pop up but cannot play anything.
My magic mirror is vertical mode, rotate = 1 . I try to adjust from your height 480 width 854 of display but it also show in vertical mode height 480 with 640 also height 640 width 480. No different.

Some youtube videos are not allowed for embedded player.
some videos are not caught, it will be fixed.
some videos are not only video but playlist, so it is not caught, but it will be fixed also.
sometime Google gives no information about youtube. I guess smart tv is using not only YouTube but also other dedicated apps for music and video, yogether

I get the same issue, I hear a buzz at the beginning of the answered sentences in my speaker and clear voice after two seconds of the sentences start.

A Former User

@jrcelis
What kind of speaker do you use? Analog? HDMI output? USB? Bluetooth?
Except for Bluetooth speaker, All others could have buzz sound.

Hello @Sean and thanks for your help. I’m using the speaker that is coming with Google Voice Kit V1 and is working fine when I’m testing the sound, no buzz or distorted sound and the beginning of the sentences, the issue starts when I click the speaker icon when MMM-assistantk2 is running, the assistants answer start whit a big distorted noise o buzz and then will be fine.

@jrcelis
Unfortunately, I’m not an expert in sound configuration.
I use node module speaker for output. The buffered voice output from Google Assistant Server is directly piped to speaker module. And there is narrowly little margin to control speaker module.

My guess is, burden of system could make some delay causing distortion. but just guessing.

Anyway, I’m considering to convert voice output to mp3 file then play it. but it needs somewhat computing power, so I’m not sure whether it will be really good for RPI.
Or I will search other solution for better result.

Hello! I got Hotword working but assistant triggers error. I tried to rebuild electron as explained in the installation guide but it’s not working. I have the google voice kit installed on my raspberry… do you think that is the problem?

A Former User

@mariecbilodeau more details are needed to answer. Error logs or screenshots could be helpful.

mariecbilodeau

this is when I load my mirror with just hotword and assistant installed. I’ll try to rebuild electron again to get the log

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

“gyp ERR …” lines are needed. Your log is missing those infos.

themc

is there any way to play local stored mp3 files on the raspbery pi using the play … command

currently when saying prhases like play mp3 it says oke and stops.

im wondering if it is possible to play music mp3s from the music folder using the built in player of vlc player by sying the google command of a gaction

would be a nice addition to the plugin

A Former User

@themc
If you have a module to play mp3 and it is able to be activated by notification, it could. But adding some specific job to Assistant itself, I think it is not so good idea, because each circumstance is different.
So have you a module which can play mp3? I can make gaction sample for it.

dvbit

@sean thanks for all the info.
Just saw this after sending you request for info.
will search better / more in the future :-)

Looking for a solution for my vertical setup and browsing the file system I have seen that the cardsare stored in a temp_screen html file in the plugin folder.

changing there font size from 40px to 20px makes already a big diff (no scroll bars… in the cards)

is htere a way I can intercept that file and edit before presentation?

that would already do a good trick :-)

A Former User

@dvbit
I’ve already done that. screenZoom is that.
But anyway, That screenOutput was made for SmartTV, so it was optimized for Landscape mode. And unfortunately, the screenOutput is uncontrollable static HTML itself. There is no enough room for control.
I wish the next version of Google SDK could provide structured data instead static HTML for screenOutput.

dvbit

Ok. Tx will use that parameter then :-)

I got it working with your solution in the troubleshooting section!!! thx

@Sean Hi Sean I’ve been trying to setup MMM-Assistant however after renaming my client-secret.json file to credentials.json and running the auth_and_test.json the OAuth2 page to get my token gives me an error 500, any ideas?
