Scheduling a YouTube video to start/stop via MMM-Remote-Control
Looking for some guidance. I’m using MMM-ModuleScheduler and MMM-Remote-Control to turn my monitor on/off, and to hide certain modules depending on the time of day. Works great.
But, I have a YouTube video (white noise) that I’d like to start in the evening, and have stop in the AM.
Playing the video is no problem — I’m using MMM-EmbedYoutube) as below:
module: "MMM-EmbedYoutube", position: "middle_center", config: { video_id: "nDqP7kcr-sc", loop: true, autoplay:true, controls:false, } },
I tried to hide/show the video via MMM-Remote-Control/MMM-Module-Scheduler, but couldn’t figure out why the sound kept playing. Of course, it’s because hiding/showing doesn’t turn it off/on.
So I’m trying to find solution, but am stuck here as modifying the config.js file is about the limit of my technical knowledge.
Looking at the page for MMM-YouTube I can see that I can use YouTube’s iFrame API methods to control its player. And this is what I’d want to do:
this.sendNotification("YOUTUBE_CONTROL", { command: "playVideo" })
I’m just not sure how/where to create that notification. Ideally I can use the modules above to playVideo or pauseVideo, at certain times of the day.
Any guidance you can provide would be super helpful!
