MMM-iFrame-Ping

lpgjg

Hey everyone,
Hoping I can jump in here at the beginners level. Been trying to load a number of YouTube modules for a week to no avail.

I’m more old school so this stuff doesn’t come natural to me and I’ve been trying to get iFrame-Ping to work the last few days.

Long story short, all I get is YouTube trying to load on the MM and then “Video unavailable” where the video should be.

The rest of the MM and its modules are working as should be. Strangely enough, I can click on the iframe-Ping module and the whole magic mirror disappears and the Pi switches to YouTube, full screen?

The only way to get out of youtube at this point is with “ctrl Q”.

Can anyone help?

Hello,

can you send your configuration ?

And also the log ? (when the MagicMirror is running, Ctrl+i and then filter to “iFrame-Ping” and copy the data°

Thanks,
AgP42

Will try to do so when I get home from work tonight. May take a few attempts as this very alien to me given that I’m probably older than most all of you…or your dads.

May be worth noting: After a few attempts I noticed if I used my companies playlist, or that of Bombardier, Nord-Gear or any other company / commercial play list, it works fine. Always begins at the same place when started but the module shows up and plays the videos.

But if I try to add a Pop music playlist or any of the popular artist out their, it gives me the “video unavailable.”

As if it’s a copy right issue when going through the mirror.

BTW: I’m in Montreal, Canada

Nothing happens when I hit “ctrl” and then the letter ”i” while the mirror is running. Or was I actually suppose to add the plus sign “+”…and I tried that as well. Only thing that works is ctrl Q.

As to my configuration. I assume this is what you are asking for:

{
module: ‘MMM-iFrame-Ping’,
position: ‘bottom_right’, // This can be any of the regions.
config: {
// See ‘Configuration options’ for more information.

height:“80%”,
width:“80%”,
autoRefresh: false, //set to false for video
updateInterval: 1, //in min. Only if autoRefresh: true
displayLastUpdate: true,

scrolling: “no”
}

@lpgjg ctrl-shift-i (letter I) to open the dev window, then select the console tab

This video is not available on youtube, so yes it is normal that the magicmirror cannot load it.

Is it a private video ?

I guess I am the baby of the group after all at 58.

The videos are all from YouTube and do not seem to be private. I have tried this three amongst quite a few others. If someone has a pop play list that works, can you please give it to me. I can try it.

I right click on the video while its playing and then click on copy embed code, from there I copy the src and input that into iFrame and/or iFramPing. Which gives me the “video unavailable” when I start the mirror.

When I do the exact same for the following YouTube videos, the vids play fine.

I will try the ctrl-shift-i and will be back soon…hopefully.
