MMM-SmartWebDisplay : display web contents (including YouTube) on your MM

@smassy well it’s MMM-smartwebdisplay, so I assume it’s a module for MagicMirror.

Hi

I am not able to get anything to display using my own url in this module. The default config urls work fine but not mine. I am trying to display a video feed from a D-Link camera using a url in this format - http://user:password@ipaddress:port/video/mjpg.cgi. This works fine from this camera when pasted into any web browser but not in my mirror. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Chris.

Hi @Chris62 ,

unfortunately it is not easy, this is due to safety mechanisms of iframes that prevent to send password…

Personally I just removed the password of my camera :face_screaming_in_fear:

But you can try some cleverer solutions, search google for “iframe password” or “iframe authentifaction” and you can try to get some clues.
Here is one answer that I found interesting : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15639280/basic-authentication-for-a-url-in-an-iframe

If you find a way, please let us know !
(and if it include some change on the code, I can also implement it, but so far I didn’t find any technical way…)

Good luck !

Hi

I don’t actually have a password set for the camera, it has been factory reset to the defaults which just gives a username admin and a blank password field. My url looks like this http://admin:@ipaddress:port/video/mjpg.cgi. Maybe this is the cause of the issue?

Hello again, I’m trying to use the embeded calls “SWD_…” but there is something I’m not getting.

var recipe = {
  transcriptionHook: {
    "playlist_sylvain": {
      pattern: "liste sylvain",
      command: "playlist_1"
    },

      pattern: "liste lewis capaldi",
      command: "playlist_2"
    },
    "playlist_pause": {
      pattern: "arrêt lecture",
      command: "playlist_pause"
    },
    "playlist_play": {
      pattern: "démarre lecture",
      command: "playlist_play"
    },

  },
  command: {
     "playlist_1": {
             notificationExec: {
                     notification: "SWD_URL",
                     payload: {

                     }
             }
     },

             notificationExec: {
                    notification: "SWD_PLAY",
                    }
             },
     },
}

exports.recipe = recipe

Lists are starting correctly but when calling SWD_PAUSE it’s doing nothing and SWD_PLAY restart the list at beginning. Any clue?

Hello,

yes, it is (unfortunately) the normal behavior, as written on the documentation :

- Play(or restart)/Pause/Stop the update and rotation of URLs

In fact I cannot stop the video itself, as it would imply to be connected to YouTube API. Here we “just” display the video. The function “play/pause” are for the rotation of the videos or playlist. If you want to stop the video, the best way will be to have an empty playlist that you can start to stop everything else.

I know it is bad looking and not intuitive, but I cannot do better with the technical solution with iFrames…

Sorry !

Hi!

Love the module, very well done!

I am using MMM-TelegramBot to control my Mirror, did you ever look into seeing if you could intergrate your module with Telegram?

Thanks

:)

Hi,

yes I remember that I had a look on it some months ago and by that time I thought it will not be very complicated to do…
I don’t really have much time thoses weeks (even months…), but yes someday I may develop that interface ;-)
