@peterpang Hi,
sdetweil wrote a script which can be used to disable the screensaver. You may look at GitHub.

@rikko14 Hi,
i wrote a module to play radio streams on the mirror. You can control it either via touch or notification. An autoplay feature is implemented as well. You do not need to display the module to get it active.

MMM-MplayerRadio

As there had been a lot of problems with mplayer the last weeks i strongly suggest to use vlc instead. The readme contains an example configuration on howto change to vlc.

@harney Hi, I recently had the same problem and wrote a module to exactly do this job (MMM-TouchButton).

@totofar Hi, there is already a issue open (see here) for this problem. I searched for a solution but three other guys and me could not find the reason. My current suggestion is to install vlc and use the custom command option to specify it as the player. The only disadvantage is that there is no stream info provided.

@robfer Hi, sure you can. The right class will be “.module.newsfeed”

@robfer Hi, normally there is some other module covering the buttons in such cases.
You can solve this by setting z-index in your custom.css.
The higher the index the more in the foreground the module will be.

The following config is part of my custom.css file:

.MMM-ImagesPhotos, .MMM-ImageSlideshow, .MMM-COVID19, .MMM-Spotify, .MMM-Temperature, .MMM-LEDStripControl {
    z-index: -1;
}

.MMM-MplayerRadio {
    z-index: 999;
}

Hi, maybe the url of the radio station changed. The player then tries to start the station and stops directly.

@buchair said in Simple module to receive m3u8 stream and change volume via GPIPs?:

m3u8-Stream

Hi,

my MMM-MplayerRadio module uses mplayer to play radio playlist files. I think it will work with m3u8 as well. It uses a touch interface to control the MMM-Volume module. It do not know what you mean with GPIPs but maybe this combination may fit your needs.

Hi,

great if it works. You may want to add an “showStations: false,” to your config. The yellow radio symbol then will be displayed instead of showing the station logos. If you want the module to be invisible you can remove the position option. The module will be functional even if it is not displayed.
