MMM-iFrame-Ping

AgP42

Hello,

after struggling with existing iFrame modules, I decided to create my own…

Here are some other iFrame module :

iFrame from desertblade : the original one with basics functions : one URL, no periodic refresh
MMM-iFrame from alberttwong : allow several rotating URL but no periodic refresh of the content
MMM-iFrameReload from TheBogueRat : one possible URL with periodic refresh

The functionnalities of my new iFrame module :

Allow periodic refresh of the iFrame, or not (configurable), this allow to display images (with refresh) or video (without refresh)
Ping the URL before trying to display the content. Display an error (with the last successful PING date and time) if the host is not reachable. PING code from MMM-Ping by CFenner
If a PIR-sensor using MMM-PIR-Sensor module is used, the iFrame will not be updated during screen off (this behavior works also with all other module that send the notification “USER_PRESENCE”) and will be refresh with screen on.
If the iFrame-Ping module is hidden (by REMOTE-CONTROL or any Carousel module for example), the iFrame will not be updated. As soon as one MMM-iFrame-Ping module will be again displayed on the screen, an update will be requested.
Possibility to display the date and time of the last update request (configurable)
CSS file

I tested it with MM² version 2.4.1.

I hope it can also be helpful for others, please let me know any issue.

@AgP42 Thank you for this version of iFrame. Works well for me
I do get a white line around the embedded iFrame. Could you please tell me, how to get rid of it?

Hello,

you can try the following :

On the file “MMM-iFrame-Ping.js”, on lines 135, 136 and 137 there is :

iframe.width = this.config.width;
iframe.height = this.config.height;
iframe.scrolling = this.config.scrolling;

with those lines, please add :

iframe.style = "border:0"

This should solve your problem !

Bye,

Dear @AgP42,
one of my use cases for your module is showing a livestream from the ISS on the night-page of my mirror, if a user is present. Looks really good!
Now i thought of enhancing it and playing some curated movies from the ISS during those moments, when it is not flying in daylight.

Would it be possible / difficult to add a limited number of youtube links and either select one of them for playback via a notification or play them randomly?
