Perfect for me!!
Note : why note using your current module and just allow the ping Yes / No option? (or keep it by adding the possibility to hide it or??)Anyway, I would be happy with your above proposal anyway!! Up to you.
Several URL’s and NEXT / PREVIOUS URL is must for me, so +1000.
Regarding the play / pause option, I was thinking about play / pause the video but you just said it’s not possible and after thinking about it again, I believe stopping the rotation of URL as you proposed is even more important. So +1 for rotation play / pause.
Several instances would be perfect for me either, so +1!
I’m just thinking about additional dream :
Maybe I’m dreaming a bit, but the cherry on the cake for me, would be to be able to “define a mouse click parameter”. i.e : by sending notification “CLICK ON X”, this would simulate a click at a certain location on the page (I don’t know how it work, coordinate X,Y)…But I’m too noob to realize what my demand is really triggering in terms of dev.
(idea behind would be to display google agenda in an iframe and move to next and previous month by simulating the click).
If too complex, forget about it.
Forget about that one, I will manage differently and not with iFrame.Be strong tomorrow!!!

Thanks @bolish for your support ! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
So today was a good coding day (hopefully because I don’t know when will be the next one…), not all the functionnalities describe yesterday are working, but I have made some extra too…
So the new MMM-SmartWebDisplay version 1 is done , I will describe here the differences according to our previous discussions and then I will put it on GitHub and create a new post on the forum about it.
Going back to the requests :
- Be able to display several URL : –> DONE
- to be launched randomly - @rudibarani, Gavin-McLeod (GitHub) –> DONE but not randomly, one after the other following the order given on the config file. Why do you want it random ??
- to be able to launch the next one, previous one and play/pause through notification - @bolish –> DONE, 5 possibilities : Next, Previous, Stop (no more update and current URL stopped, black screen instead), Pause (no more update but the current URL remains, and continue to play if it is a video), Play (start again all updates, restart the same video currently running if any)
- Request new URL to display through notification (and without url formatting will be better) - @rudibarani –> DONE, it is possible to request 1 URL or a list of URLs, and it is possible to send also on the same notification the value for autorefresh update and the value for the timer to play the following URL (but not mandatory)
- Be able to declare several instance of the module to display several different video on the same display - @Johans, @Horge, gpapig (github) –> Unfortunately no working… I manage to display several iFrame on the same page together, but only the second one is updated and receive the notification… I don’t know why, but I didn’t spend much time on it…
So @bolish and @rudibarani : you are served ! :winking_face:
If you faced any bug, let me know… - Be able to display several URL : –> DONE

Here it is :
https://github.com/AgP42/MMM-SmartWebDisplayEnough screen for today, I will create the post for this new module on the coming days.
I tried to write the readme file as good as possible, but I will have to work on it again.Please test it and let me know if any bug…

thx, have a good “eye / brain” rest enjoy the weekend!

Review :
-
Using a list of several URL is working. Seems more “slow / laggy” than with iFrame-Ping and only one URL. Strange but OK.
-
URL rotation is working great. (maybe a bit slow because of reloading needs, but I guess than there is not much you can do for that?)
-
URL NEXT / PREV / PLAY / PAUSE is working like a charm. Which was my initial need, so perfect.
So all in all, a major and well managed update. Good job @AgP42 .
One thing :
Even by using the same size (% or px) parameter as in previous iFrame-Ping, the picture is much more smaller (tiny!!!) in this new module. Strange but nothing critical.
I’m displying youtube channels and “middle_center” parameter.
Nevertheless, when I increase the size of it, the centering is not working well. Indeed, the margin remains the same on left side, meaning the frame is off-centered on the right side of the screen.
Hope this can be fixed easily (I tried to look at it myself, .css, etc… but I’m not skilled enough). Maybe it’s something I’m doing wrong on my side…

@bolish, thanks for your very fast review ! I just upload an update that (should) solve the lagging issue (and on the same time this issue solved the problem of several instances !)
And your display issue was coming from the fact that I send on GitHub my css file with modifs for me, I update it too, so you should be able to get back your previous params

@AgP42
Centering frame is OK now.
Lagging seems to be much better.
But it seems that new issue is happening. I get constant (uncontrolled) change between status Playing and Stopped which is stopping the video.Strange.

I think it’s because of PIR Sensor “USER PRESENCE” notification!!!
(I don’t wnat any interaction between PIR and video), I only use PIR to turn screen ON / OFF.And this issue is not new since your morning correction…It’s new for me because I installed PIR this morning!!!

But why do you want your video to run if your screen is off ?
