MMM-SmartWebDisplay : display web contents (including YouTube) on your MM

Chris62

Hi

I am not able to get anything to display using my own url in this module. The default config urls work fine but not mine. I am trying to display a video feed from a D-Link camera using a url in this format - http://user:password@ipaddress:port/video/mjpg.cgi. This works fine from this camera when pasted into any web browser but not in my mirror. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Chris.

Hi @Chris62 ,

unfortunately it is not easy, this is due to safety mechanisms of iframes that prevent to send password…

Personally I just removed the password of my camera :face_screaming_in_fear:

But you can try some cleverer solutions, search google for “iframe password” or “iframe authentifaction” and you can try to get some clues.
Here is one answer that I found interesting : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15639280/basic-authentication-for-a-url-in-an-iframe

If you find a way, please let us know !
(and if it include some change on the code, I can also implement it, but so far I didn’t find any technical way…)

Good luck !

Great !

Happy to read that ! Enjoy your wonderfull Mirror :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

Hi

I don’t actually have a password set for the camera, it has been factory reset to the defaults which just gives a username admin and a blank password field. My url looks like this http://admin:@ipaddress:port/video/mjpg.cgi. Maybe this is the cause of the issue?

Hello again, I’m trying to use the embeded calls “SWD_…” but there is something I’m not getting.

var recipe = {
  transcriptionHook: {

             },
     },
}

Lists are starting correctly but when calling SWD_PAUSE it’s doing nothing and SWD_PLAY restart the list at beginning. Any clue?

Hello,

yes, it is (unfortunately) the normal behavior, as written on the documentation :

- Play(or restart)/Pause/Stop the update and rotation of URLs

In fact I cannot stop the video itself, as it would imply to be connected to YouTube API. Here we “just” display the video. The function “play/pause” are for the rotation of the videos or playlist. If you want to stop the video, the best way will be to have an empty playlist that you can start to stop everything else.

I know it is bad looking and not intuitive, but I cannot do better with the technical solution with iFrames…

Sorry !

Hi!

Love the module, very well done!

I am using MMM-TelegramBot to control my Mirror, did you ever look into seeing if you could intergrate your module with Telegram?

Thanks

:)

Hi,

yes I remember that I had a look on it some months ago and by that time I thought it will not be very complicated to do…
I don’t really have much time thoses weeks (even months…), but yes someday I may develop that interface ;-)

@AgP42 No worries! Thanks for the reply :)

Hi
the module loads initially after updating config.js or rebooting the MM, but it doesn’t refresh the iframe.

@ueffchen I have the exact same problem. However, for some reason, when I turn the “displayLastUpdate:” to “true”, it begins updating at the interval set in “updateInterval”. Turn it back to “false”, and it stops updating.

Not ideal, since it displays a line of information I don’t want to see; but it does refresh.

If someone could help, I would appreciate it too!

Thank you
Alain

Hi @ueffchen,

when I test the url on iFrame tester (here : iFrame), I don’t need any refresh, the radar is live display without any refresh.
Isn’t it the same on the mirror ?

Otherwise on the config, as you have only 1 URL, this param "NextURLInterval: 30, " has to be set to 0 (but it cannot be the reason of non-refresh…)

And as you set the "updateInterval: 30, ", then here you request a refresh every 30 MINUTES, was it the refresh you wanted ?

Bye,
AgP

Hello @Alain ,

yes strange behavior indeed !

Could you please share your full config to check what could be wrong ?

Thanks,

I have seen a few examples of people displaying Action-tiles URLs in the MM. The action-tiles team does not allow username and passwords to be passed in the URL, the user must login to Action-tiles and then can navigate directly to the URL. Is there a solution to this requirement within SmartWebDisplay?

AgP42

@brotherbrown831
sorry but I don’t understand what you want to do, do you want to use a URL with a name and password on it ?
Or do you want to use a pop up to log in and then access a URL ?
You say “the action-tiles team”, what it this ? Do you have any documentation ?

Thanks for a bit more detail ;-)

@Newtothis @rafaelcota

You asked the compatibility with the module MMM-TelegramBot, and I finally took the time today to integrate it.

It is in “beta” so far, I must now write the documentation (really less fun that writing code :smiling_face_with_halo: )

The code is here : https://github.com/AgP42/MMM-SmartWebDisplay/tree/beta, if you could test and let me know your feedback it will be very appreciated !!

The commands are (still time to change them if you don’t like thoses ones…) :
/swd_next
/swd_prev
/swd_play
/swd_pause
/swd_stop
/swd_url (then the url you want to display on your MagicMirror)
for example “/swd_url http://magicmirror.builders/”

for the URL I didn’t give the possibility to send a list, but could be improved.

Thanks for your feedback !

AgP42

Hello,

I finalize the version, it is now available for everyone !

To update (as every module) :

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SmartWebDisplay
git pull

Enjoy ;-)

Hi @Alain,

first please remove all your apikey on your post before :winking_face:

I see that you also use the MMM-PIR-sensor module, with a delay of 100s, this is probably the root cause of the strange behavior that you saw.

Let me explains you my analysis :

Here is how this sensor work (Source) :
PIR

The delay of detection or non-detection as to be set directly on the sensor !

So your sensor will sent to the module “MMM-PIR-Sensor” 2 possible states “HIGH” (presence) or “LOW” (no presence).

Each time the MMM-PIR-Sensor will receive a modification of the sensor status, it will sent immediately (to everyone, so to MMM-SmartWebDisplay too) a notification saying “USER_PRESENCE=true” or false.

Developer Notes (MMM-PIR-Sensor)

This module broadcasts a USER_PRESENCE notification with the payload beeing true or false you can use it to pause or disable your module.

The “powerSavingDelay” is applied after this notification is sent to everyone.

And my module “MMM-SmartWebDisplay” use this notification to stop and restart the update timer.

So by setting 100s of delay on the MMM-PIR-Sensor module, it probably totally mix up all the update timer management of my module. :loudly_crying_face:

A small example :

Nobody in front of the mirror for long time, so Mirror is off
you arrives close to the Mirror, that activate the PIR sensor, the Mirror wakes up and MMM-SmartWebDisplay also wakes up, update the html page to display and set a new refresh in 1 min (because you configure it with 1min)
your sensor doesn’t detects you anymore : during 100s, so 1min40s your Mirror will stay ON without any notification (because you desactivate “powerSavingNotification”), but MMM-SmartWebDisplay (and all other modules) received the notification “USER_PRESENCE=false”, so MMM-SmartWebDisplay stops the update of the html page.
if your sensor detects you again during this 100s, then you should see the update of the html (directly when the sensor will send the info to the Mirror) --> Do you confirm this ?

So for me your problem is on the adjustment of your PIR sensor and the value you set for this module configuration. You can follow this very good page to adjust correctly your sensor : PIR sensor

Personally I adjust the detection delay on the sensor itself and I just set 10s of “powerSavingDelay” after a notification (powerSavingNotification: true).

I hope my explaination was clear enough !

Good luck and let me know if you still face issues,

Bye
