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

Also, as an idea for the function “continuous play”. Function will allow module to pause current video when the screen turned off by PIR and continue to play it again when screen turned on by PIR.
Now video starts from the beginning each time the module getting an user presence notification.

Hello everyone and happy new year !

@Serge said in MMM-SmartWebDisplay : display web contents (including YouTube) on your MM:

Is it possible to add time delay in config.js file in order to make more easier integration of PIR modules and SWD module?
Also, it would be good to have the ability to switch-off the Presence notification dependency.
Sometime I just want to run youtube (say classic music) even when the display is turned off (as a background music)
Such command/config will let do that.

It would have been better to change the behavior of the PIR module, but it is also possible to change it on the SWD module and yes it also can be possible to totally deactivate it to let the youtube music run in background.
I will try to find some time this week to add those modifications.

I already answer this several time and it is even written on the documentation, the module itself don’t have access to the video, so it is not possible to play/pause the video itself. To do so I should have implemented the youtube API (and all other video api !). The play/pause function is about the url rotation and not about the video playing itself. And this is something I unfortunately cannot change… sorry !

I have made some work to make this happen.

Hi,
Has anyone tried to use MMM-SmartWebDisplay module configured in fullscreen-above region ?
I’ve made several tests and each time I try to use a fullscreen region it displays nothing.
I’ll be glad to run some test or other configuration if you’ve got any idea 🙂
Regards.

Hey AgP42, awesome job on this. Is there any way to remove or block an element from the url referenced?

Edit: Nevermind. I don’t think it’s possible and just as easy to download the site, host it on the pi itself, then reference the site in the module.

I am trying to use this module but no matter what URL I use, nothing shows up on my MM and when looking at it from my browser it says the URL “refused to connect”. Any ideas?

what is ‘it’?? MM or the URL U are trying to view?

[pdawg17]

@sdetweil ‘It’ would be the MM setup from my browser: MM_IPaddress:8080. Thanks!

[sdetweil]

@pdawg17 in your config.js, more than likely u have

address: 'localhost',
ipwhiteList:[.......]

this means that ONLY apps INSIDE the mirror machine can access the mirror app (usually a mirror hangs on the wall and no-one accesses it (or should) )…

u need to allow outside access

address="0.0.0.0",
ipWhiteList:[],

allow anyone to access on any network interface (wifi or lan if both enabled)
