@Anthony : Yes absolutely ! Did you try it and can confirm it works fine ?

AgP42

@peterh and @zjonesz : Unfortunatelly I don’t know also how to solve it…

Maybe someone have a solution ?

(I have to admit that I am not using that module myself anymore…)

AgP42

@lukas1760 : Normaly yes, any html/css/javascript file can be executed.

Did you test to be able to confirm that it works ?

@smassy

the configuration of MMM-SmartWebDisplay seams ok

I don’t know the module MMM-Assistant2, is it this one : https://github.com/eouia/MMM-AssistantMk2 ?
If not, can you send me the link on it’s documentation ?

To be able to send a new url to display to the MMM-SmartWebDisplay, the configuration has to be exactly like that :
{notification: “SWD_URL”, payload: {url:[“https://magicmirror.builders/”]}}
This line means : send to the system a “notification” (it is a MagicMirror mecanism) with the topic “SWD_URL” (so my module knows that this notification is for him), and then you have to send a “payload” (extra infos) with the URL you want to use.

Does that helps ? If yes please let us know the solution !

Bye,
AgP

Thank for answering! :-)

Yes the Assistant is https://github.com/eouia/MMM-AssistantMk2

I will test with your recommendation and let you know if I’m able to make it work.

See ya!

Good news, I was able to make it work thanks to you! But…there is a but… The youtube link with autoplay is not working :-(

This simple url
https://www.youtube.com/embed/JGwWNGJdvx8?autoplay=1

Will give you ‘video unavailable’ error, remove the autoplay tag and it will show (not play).

Trying to find out how to make it work and I will post my config as soon as I get the hang of it.

See ya!

@smassy are you on version 2.8.0?
We put a fix in for video not autoplay

@sdetweil

Ok I finally got that you were talking about magic mirror, yes it’s 2.8.0. But does it affect smartwebdisplay? I thought the module was independent.

sdetweil

@smassy well it’s MMM-smartwebdisplay, so I assume it’s a module for MagicMirror.

@sdetweil

Yes, I restarted my Pi and normal link is playing video now
