Would it be possible to view the contents of a text file on MM view a file (such as a .js or .json)?
Let me explain: since I don’t have the skills to automatically extract information from a website. I was thinking, for now, of manually updating a file every month.
I would need a form that would print this information contained in a file in local on the MM… (in the future I could automate the writing of this file …)

Do you think it would be possible?
If so, do you know of a module that could do this?

Thanks guys!

@j-e-f-f Thanks for fixing the module! ;-)
I have tried your module and I believe that all the most popular football rankings do not work.

I tried with:

• ITA_SERIES_A

• ESP_LALIGA

• GER_BUNDESLIGA

but nothing is shown.

For example NHL League works …

Could you help me?

Thanks.

You got RTSPStream to work!!! NICE! I need to try harder then as this is something i’ve wanted on my MM for a long time. I just read there were issues and it wasn’t supported any longer so i didn’t really try.

In fact you say well, RTSPStream does not work and when it starts it works badly.
For this reason, externally to the MM, I launch an OMXPLAYER command with coordinates that places the video down to the right.
I have not found any other solution …

IMPORTANT: on Buster OMXPLAYER is still present, in Bullseye it has been removed in favor of VLC which unfortunately I had difficulty configuring …

Hello everybody,
I would like to make it smaller and change color (maybe red …) to the word “Update Notification”.
With the “Custom CSS” file I managed to scale down only the second line and not the first written “Update available for …”.

Can you help me?

Thanks community!

@BKeyport great work!
Thanks.

@sdetweil Yes, in any case in order to read a web page it must be scrolled. Monitors usually can’t fit the full page …

@sdetweil said in Extract parts of web pages:

( or how it would decide it NEEDS to on a page by page basis)

Scrolling a page would be enough (the web page you set in configuration …), when it arrives at the end it comes back up.
I speak as a non-developer, I don’t know how difficult it is …

I tried to use sites that create RSS feeds from a web page but they are very inaccurate.

Nobody knows an iframe module that allows automatic page scrolling?

Very nice job, I really like the look. Its hard to see from the photos how have you secured the monitor into the frame?

Hi @mayfield, I’m happy you liked it!
The frame was built to fit into the monitor very precisely. In practice it is self-supporting.
This allows me to remove the frame for maintenance (clearly since the frame is stuck I have to force myself for pull it out …).

If you need more information I am available.

Hi there!
I am looking for a way to view and read web pages through the MM.
The biggest problem I notice is that no module has an automatic scrolling that allows the page to be read (I haven’t found any…).
Is there a way to extract even some information from a web page and view it on the MM?
Maybe as an RSS Feed…or some other way…

Thanks.
