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

[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.

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

It looks like @shbatm is not following this forum since many months.

Therefore @bolish or someone else could you please post your custom menu entries code so that I can better figure out how to enter that MMM-RTSPStream code?

The related README section didn’t make so much sense to me. :man_shrugging_medium_skin_tone:

Using Raspberry Pi Zero W with latest version of Buster. MM2 working . used command in first post to install MMM-RemoteControl. Used Master Branch and not Dev. Module directory created sucessfully. Edited config.js with appropriate entries. I dont have anything displaying on screen besides the clock and Holidays .

Its supposed to display the default webpage in the center of the screen. I dont see that . Just black in that area.

Here is the config.js

code_tvar config = {
	address: "localhost", // Address to listen on, can be:
	                      // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
	                      // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
	                      // - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
	                      // Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
	                                                       // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
	                                                       // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],
	
	language: "en",
	timeFormat: 12,	
	units: "imperial",
	// serverOnly:  true/false/"local" ,

			     // false, default for all  NON-armv6l devices
			     // true, force serveronly mode, because you want to.. no UI on this device
	
	modules: [
		 {
        		module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
        		// uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
        		// position: 'bottom_left',
        		// you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
        		config: {
            		apiKey: '56cab4b5d5e24cfea8c436ac591d722c'
        	}
    		},

			
		{

			module: "updatenotification",

@BD0G gotta have a position setting

[BD0G]

@sdetweil Damn you are helpful!
I forgot to uncomment the position setting. Duh. Man little things just slip by. :)

That works. Now I am struggling with understanding the IP Whitelist area . I want to open up access to all IP Addresses internally between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254 as I am unsure which of those IP addresses will be dynamically assigned to the device I use to access the MMM-Remote-Control app.

ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
	                                                       // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
	                                                       // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],

@BD0G so, i just clear the whitelist, and allow anyone on my network to connect… (its only me,inside my house)

ipWhitelist: [],

you will also have to open up the address block

address: [] or [0.0.0.0]

otherwise it means ONLY the same machine can talk to the mirror…
