@frodrd00 Hey sorry i didn’t try this. Maybe i find time in the Christmas vacations but exams are near so i can’t promise you :P

@Jeff
Lets see if i can make a complete list for you.
Step 1. cd in your MagicMirror/module folder then git clone the modul ( https://github.com/alexyak/voicecontrol.git )
Step 2. cd in the voice module and install dependencies ( sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio python3-pyaudio sox )
Step 3. Create snowboy files and copy them into the ( im not sure which works i copied them in 3 placed) 1. voice control module 2. mm-music-player module and MagicMirror folder
Step 4. cd into your mm-music-player and sudo nano mm-music-player.js add following lines after this lines:
start: function() {
Log.info("Starting module: " + this.name);
},

->> Add this
notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
if (notification === “PLAY”){
var playButton = document.getElementById(‘play-button’);
playButton.click();

if (notification === “STOP”){
var pauseButton = document.getElementById(‘pause-button’);
pauseButton.click();

then go down to

    playButton.className = "play";
    playButton.innerHTML = '<i class="fa fa-play" aria-hidden="true"></i>'; 

playButton.id = ‘play-button’;

    pauseButton.className = "pause";
    pauseButton.innerHTML = '<i class="fa fa-pause" aria-hidden="true"></i>'; 

pauseButton.id = ‘pause-button’;

Then cd in your MagicMirror config and sudo nano config.js

and add the following lines

{
module: ‘voicecontrol’,
position: ‘bottom_right’,
config: {
models: [
{
keyword: “play music”, // keyword
description:
file: “yourfile.pmdl”,
message: “PLAY”,
},
{
keyword: “stopmusic”, // keyword
description:
file: “yourfile.pmdl”,
message: “STOP”
},

This should be all.
If it doesn’t work, feel free to write me a PM.

Hey everybody, i use the voicecontrol from @alexyak and the mm-music-player from @EoF. I managed to control the music player with my voice (play, stop, back, forward) it worked pretty well for about 2 days. Then suddenly it stopped working, the modules and everything works fine. So i take a look at the pm2 logs mm. This is the log :

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 logs mm
[TAILING] Tailing last 10 lines for [mm] process (change the value with --lines option)
/home/pi/.pm2/logs/mm-error-0.log last 10 lines:

0|mm | detector = snowboydecoder.HotwordDetector(models, sensitivity=sensitivity)

0|mm | self._stream = pa.open(**arguments)
0|mm | IOError: [Errno Invalid sample rate] -9997

So i tested the microphone (snowboy homepage), it doesn’t record anything. Next stepped i plugged my micro into my laptop and tested it there - works perfect.
I googled around the error messages but i couldn’t find any help which worked for me.

I would be glad if someone can help me. Thanks in advance

Greetings

I want to say a big thank your @gismo2006 for helping me at the voice control via message. I want to share my solution and gismos help just in case someones also struggles with this.

1. It is important to record your voice with the raspberry pi and the connected microphone ( Was my first mistake i record them at my laptop with the internal microphone)
2. Copy the .pdml files in the home/pi/MagicMirror folder and just in case also in the voicecontroll module.
3. Copy the name of the pdml files and don’t write them manually in the config.js

Again a big thank you at @gismo2006 for the help and @alexyak for the module :).

Greetings GinSeng

Done ! :)

Good luck with your bachelor thesis.

Hi Matt, try at position : ‘middle_center’ not only center.

@gismo2006

ger: Kein Problem :) Ja bin auch deutsch. Okay wäre super und auch einfacher für mich :D

eng: No Problem :) Yep also german. That would be great and also easier for me

@gismo2006

Hey Gismo, i would really appreciate that :) Thank you.
Maybe you can also help me with the pdml files. I’m not sure if i copied them into the right folder ( example: sudo mv machmusik.pdml / root).
