[MMM-MusicOnDemand] - Play music from deezer with a browser in the background

Cr4z33

@ptrk95 getting a black screen when I launch MagicMirror no matter if I use default Chromium or puppeteer.

Actually I was going now to delete the puppeteer package, but it wasn’t installed at all. :thinking_face:

Running everything on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+.

Thanks for pointing that out! The dependencies in the package.json weren’t set. I uploaded a changed version but unfortunatley this build won’t work for me right now, so I have to do a deeper look into it.
Edit: It`s again working on the new build, was a problem with the puppeteer version and the chromium version installed on raspbian.

@ptrk95 it keeps displaying a black screen.

This is my config section for this module:

		{
			module: "MMM-MusicOnDemand",
			position: "top_right",
			disabled: false,
			config: {
				chromiumPath : "/usr/bin/chromium-browser",
				// chromiumPath : null,
				showCover : true,
				email : "****",
				password : "****",
				}
		 },

and this is the MM dev log:

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

Launching application.

ptrk95

That’s strange.
Try cd in the MusicOnDemand folder and then:
npm install puppeteer@1.11.0

Cr4z33

@ptrk95 but then why should I need puppeteer if we have already Chromium installed in the Pi? :confused_face:

ptrk95

@cr4z33 with puppeteer you can control the browser with Javascript. But it will install a version of chromium inside the puppeteer folder which you can delete to save space if you use the preinstalled chromium of raspbian :)

Cr4z33

@ptrk95 OK thanks now MM is loading properly, but yout module keeps saying ‘Initializing…’ and nothing happens. :grimacing_face:

This is the error in log:

Error: Failed to launch chrome!

@cr4z33 that’s most likely a versioning problem with puppeteer and chromium.
I assume you already did:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MusicOnDemand
npm install puppeteer@1.11.0

Please check your chromium version. My version is the latest one: version 65.0.3325.181.
If it’s not, try:

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

And check that your chromium path in the config file is “/usr/bin/chromium-browser”, which I guess it is. Because on Raspberry Pi the browser of puppeteer isn’t working.

If that’s also not launching your browser I honestly don’t know why :/

In the latest build I added the option “showBrowser” in the config-file. If you set it to true, you are able to see the browser and what it is doing in the browser.

Cr4z33

@ptrk95 did everything you said, browser version is the same, added that config line, but the module keeps sitting at the ‘Initializing…’ word.

If I can’t do anything else maybe someone here is willing to contribute? :man_shrugging_medium_skin_tone:

Cr4z33

@ptrk95 tried to give your module another try, but if I try using the (latest) default Chromium browser it keeps sitting at the ‘Logging into deezer’ text and if I try using Puppeteer I get this:

Fantastic !
I’m preparing as well a stand alone module to control spotify with the mk2 assistant as well . I should be able to release and share in a couple of days . I just need to fix one big bug and it will be OK .
Thanks for your module We will have all we need to control music with our mirror !

Wow! That is fantastic!
I have a question. I’m living in Spain, and I’m using a Spotify account from other country.
All works fine, and I don’t need VPN to play my music.
Do you think that I could be able to use my Spotify account with your module?

Thanks!

@F17MC mate imho you should contact him in private chat.

This is a topic about a Deezer module and from another developer after all. :winking_face:

dodol45

can’t stop music with MMM-assistantMk2, can’t input any command after music playing, anyone know how to solve it ?
