Hi there,

This is a module for playing music from USB pen drive as soon as it is inserted. A music player object is built inside the module, no iframe is used. The best position is bottom left, although it depends upon the user. The player has nice rounded and shadow borders which adds a nice aesthetic sense to the overall MM. The player then waits for the user to insert/attach a USB pen drive containing the MP3 files. As soon as a USB drive is plugged, the music starts playing!

The module is built with error handling procedures. Feel fee to test it and let me know of any issues.

Happy coding!

Description

MMM-TracCar is a new module for tracking moving objects through Traccar.org APIs over google maps. This is based on a websocket connection to the Traccar.org server over which locations of all the registered users are received upon any new event. Not only the markers are updated but also the map’s center & zoom level. Plus all online users have a green icon, rest are red. Error handling is built in too. Feel free to amend it as per your need and let me know of issues.

Btw, there are free servers available on Traccar.org.

Happy coding!

Good idea… I like the thought process. Personally I like to avoid dependence on any external switch/equipment simply because I cant test it as I am making these modules on office windows PC (:p). Also the fact I am not a seasonal programmer, so I have certain limitations.

However, I am reading about how to connect with the PI through Bluetooth and steam music on the go from the cellphone. Help me if you can!

Thanks.

Hi there,

This is a new module I have been working on. It allows you to play a video file (mp4, webm, mkv) on your magic mirror from any device on the network. A video object is built inside the module, no iframe is used. The best position is bottom left, although the position and size depends upon the user. The player has nice rounded and shadow borders which adds a nice aesthetic sense to the overall MM. The player then waits for the user to browse to the advertised URL and load a video/movie. On the advertised URL, a nice player awaits for the user to select the video file along with some controls such as Play/Pause, Volume, Mute, Subtitles.

This model is utilizing video streaming over HTTP, so the whole file is not read at once but in chunks as per the requirement. The module is built with error handling procedures. Beside the core modules, this module uses 4 other dependencies mentioned in the package file.

Haha… glad your solved it yourself. Please give a thumbs-up on the git page…

@agp42 thanks for trying… as far as I know, Google changed their policy but it still provides developers with $200 worth of free monthly usage… so you may continue using it… anyhow, for the time, kindly share your log (console log)…

I can build a module for you if you tell me how do you plan to interact with the chat module. Would you have a keyboard and mouse attached to your MM or you wish to use it with your mobile somehow…

Check out…

it cant get any easier than this…

Yes it is possible. There are quite a few node.js libraries for implementing an irc client. How would you interact with it, do you have a touch enabled MM?

I guess the only way is to pipe the stream to a web socket which is turn piped to jsmpeg element…

Any thoughts?

Hi there,

How can sendSocketNotification be used to pipe a stream back to the module?
Any thoughts are welcome.

Regards.
