[MMM-Remote-Control](v2-dev) Extensible REST API, Dynamic Menus, and Socket Communications, plus other updates

[bolish]

@Cr4z33 indeed, strange, I will check my code this evening (I did it by “memory” since this morning…).

[Cr4z33]

@bolish in addition to what I wrote in my last post I forgot that I actually have entered the custom commands in the module config section so it is twice weird as it should execute those commands.

@mohace huh?
I don’t have those menu’s entries at all.
Are you using a custom version of the module or? :confused_face:

Not at all. You can see same pic in shbatm second post, after the first one you replyed.

Additional Features Added:

• Dynamic Module Control menu – uses the new API to create a Module Control menu on the remote page to control other modules via notifications.
• Custom Menu – ability to specify your own custom menu items from a file (for advanced users)
• Use PM2 API to control restarts/stops of MM. Can also support starting/stopping other PM2 scripts by passing processName: “scriptToUse” in the query payload.

Example Dynamic Menu for MMM-Carousel w/ Navigation

It seems that you need activate some features in modules to show them in this menu. But I don’t know what needs Newsfeed, for to have active his entry.

[Cr4z33]

@mohace Oh yes you are correct I forgot that we can have custom entries indeed.

Well in my case Newsfeed is showing up by default without having to enable manually something. :man_shrugging_light_skin_tone:

I don’t have these entries

reinstalled twice the module without luck.

when i first installed this module the entries was there .

my config.js

{
      module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
      position: 'bottom_left',
      config: {
        customCommand: {},
        customMenu: 'custom_menu.json',
        showModuleApiMenu: true,
        apiKey: ''
      }
    },

Any idea why my remote control looks like this? It’s lacking the right buttons etc…

[Cr4z33]

I need to add some custom commands to control MMM-RTSPStream streams like if they were tv channel buttons, but I am not skilled enough to understand the interested readme section. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

@shbatm could you please help me adding one stream button (as example for all the others to add)?

All I need is to run a combo of ‘RTSP-STOP all’ first (I am using OMXplayer therefore I prefer to kill any running stream first) and ‘RTSP-PLAY streamX’ immediately after.

When I press Restart MagicMirror it doesn’t restart…if I hit Refresh Browser the browser refreshes. Any idea why Restart MagicMirror command doesn’t work? Running latest updates on all platforms.

[retroflex]

@swvalenti Yeah, same here. Would really like to find an answer for this…
