is there any way to play local stored mp3 files on the raspbery pi using the play … command
currently when saying prhases like play mp3 it says oke and stops.
im wondering if it is possible to play music mp3s from the music folder using the built in player of vlc player by sying the google command of a gaction
would be a nice addition to the plugin
got it to work on the latest build by lowering my node version to 57. however it works when i plug my usb in and then power on the pi but only then. not when the mirror is running and pluggin it in after or repluggin it in? any adive or pointers on how to fix that ?
@themc @myself the correct command would be
-deactivate
This tells xscreensaver to pretend that there has just been user activity. This means that if the screensaver is active (the screen is blanked), then this command will cause the screen to un-blank as if there had been keyboard or mouse activity. If the screen is locked, then the password dialog will pop up first, as usual. If the screen is not blanked, then this simulated user activity will re-start the countdown (so, issuing the -deactivate command periodically is one way to prevent the screen from blanking.)
haha im a newbie when it comes to coding and finding the right lines but ill have a look arround to see if i can fix something up. i know xscreensaver can be turned on by the following command in terminal:
-activate Tell xscreensaver to turn on immediately (that is, blank the screen, as if the user had been idle for long enough.) The screensaver will deactivate as soon as there is any user activity, as usual.
It is useful to run this from a menu; you may wish to run it as
sleep 5 ; xscreensaver-command -activate
to be sure that you have time to take your hand off the mouse before the screensaver comes on. (Because if you jiggle the mouse, xscreensaver will notice, and deactivate.)
so i think it should be possible to link a hotword to that line to execute it
is there anyway to integrate hotword with xscreensaver so i can blank the screen at 10 minutes and it pops back on whenever i say the hotword to the mirror ?
