@Stubbsy1994 The link you provided describes how to embed youtube API into HTML sites using iframe-Tags in two ways. It seems, the module shown in the thread above uses the first method (iframe with source http:// www.youtube. com/embed/VIDEO_ID?parameters). I guess, the pure JS method ultimatively also uses an iframe since its called IFrame Player API.

As far as I can see, both have equal functionality. It’s not really documented, but it seems like you can call all the functions for the player-object listed here in the direct iframe approach (first method), too. See parameter enablejsapi=1. For example pause or seek-to (not verified for all functions!):

$('#video1')[0].contentWindow.postMessage('{"event":"command","func":"pauseVideo","args":""}', '*');
$('#video1')[0].contentWindow.postMessage('{"event":"command","func":"seekTo","args":[20, true]}', '*');

Compare sendCommand function in youtube.js of the module described in the thread above.

So even though the module may not satisfy all your needs by now, maybe you can take it as a starting point to develop your own solution?!

@Binog For me, the config looks fine. Just to be sure: you actually replaced “ip” in your URL with the actual IP, did you?

As far as I know, there is no such module yet. Actually, I see this as two different things:

1. A module that shows a route on a map and accepts notifications to change the route. For this, you could use the existing MMM-googlemaps module. Support of notifications has to be implemented, though.
2. A voice-control module sending the notification to the module described in 1. It has to be able to detect not only keywords but truely recognize speech, so that you can input origin A and destination B. I guess this is already done in one of the several voice-control modules (probably in the pocketsphinx one)?!

Ooops, my bad. Sorry for the silly question. Was so focused on the event-derived names onX() :D

Topic can be deleted if desired.

@rudibarani disabled does this, doesn’t it?

disabled 	Set disabled to true to skip creating the module. This field is optional.

@SurfingCA IIRC MMM-Podcast works together with MMM-Button which enables you to use a hardware button to start playing the video/podcast. So you can either (1) use this OR (2) emulate its behaviour using MMM-RemoteControl.
(1) is properly documented I guess.
For (2) you have to send the exact notification MMM-Button would have sent. By looking through source code, you’ll see that it is BUTTON_PRESSED (with a payload of true, which gets ignored in MMM-Podcast anyway). So, you should be able to use http://ip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=BUTTON_PRESSED to activate MMM-Podcast to play the video. Note: obviously you have to replace ip with the correct IP and you have to remove the whitespace between & and notification which I had to insert to prevent & and not to get converted to ¬ on this board.

Have a look at MMM-Remote-Control. With this you can increase/decrease the overall brightness.

I didn’t implement it, but as far as I can see, it basically changes the color property of body, .dimmed, .normal, .bright and header in main.css using grayscale-values.
Actually, it also uses an partially opaque overlay to imitate darker brightness values, but I guess, setting the color property itself or just using the existing module should be sufficient. (You can send notifications to MMM-Remote-Control to set the brightness at runtime)

Welcome joeytuck,

1. did you get it to run without additional 3rd party modules?
2. if yes, share your config.js so we can have a look at it

@Sjarm13 Then what about this thread?!

@joeytuck said in Help... I need help installing 3rd party modules to Magic Mirror 2:

Do I need to add ’ ’ around numeric values as well?

Usually you don’t. It distinguishes between (for example) the NUMBER 5 and the TEXT containing “5”. To be sure, you should look at the default values and just do it in the same way. For example, arrival_time seems to require " " even though the given example “1445” also could have been a plain number (I guess the reason is the leading 0 at for example “0800” which gets ignored when inputting as number)

Also, you got some strange quotation marks ´ ´. Until now I thought, only " " and ’ ’ were valid.

@jade several people were struggling with PI0 IIRC. Search the forum (for example start here).

@strawberry-3.141 … except for directories with different read/write permissions. Not a linux expert, but I guess this includes /var/ in its default status!?

@termeric isn’t it remote.html instead of remote.htm?!

@malicious_banjo I’ve experienced a somewhat similar issue after sending a command via RemoteControl. Somehow, this command got stuck in the networking queue or whatever and was received periodically again and again.
If you didn’t send any command before, then this is surely something different.
(If you sent a command to disable other modules than Scrobbler, it may still be the same issue, if you also mess with the order of modules by for example deleting modules)

Not an expert here, but I think MM is Electron based, isn’t it?!
MM acts as a server, so you can connect to it on any browser you wish to. On the same machine use localhost:8080, on other machines the corresponding ip address (AND take care about ip-whitelist). You presumably want to start MM as server-only in this scenario.

@kal well then… I know its not helping, but it should work as you described. Not seeing anything in js console is a serious problem when developing. Did you try other browsers? If nothing appears in any browser AND on raspberry itself (with npm start dev), then something is seriously wrong…

@kal are you looking at the correct console? Log.log logs to electron console, which is visible when starting MM with npm start dev (or by pressing some shortcut which I forgot; search the forum if you want to know). The terminal where you start MM is kind of useless for debugging :(

Maybe it should be added that when you have problems finding the correct “back tick” character, you can also use the </> button right above the input field to insert a code-formatted block.
