MMM-SmartWebDisplay : display web contents (including YouTube) on your MM
-
the configuration of MMM-SmartWebDisplay seams ok
I don’t know the module MMM-Assistant2, is it this one : https://github.com/eouia/MMM-AssistantMk2 ?
If not, can you send me the link on it’s documentation ?To be able to send a new url to display to the MMM-SmartWebDisplay, the configuration has to be exactly like that :
{notification: “SWD_URL”, payload: {url:[“https://magicmirror.builders/”]}}
This line means : send to the system a “notification” (it is a MagicMirror mecanism) with the topic “SWD_URL” (so my module knows that this notification is for him), and then you have to send a “payload” (extra infos) with the URL you want to use.Does that helps ? If yes please let us know the solution !
Bye,

Thank for answering! :-)
Yes the Assistant is https://github.com/eouia/MMM-AssistantMk2
I will test with your recommendation and let you know if I’m able to make it work.
See ya!

Good news, I was able to make it work thanks to you! But…there is a but… The youtube link with autoplay is not working :-(
This simple url
https://www.youtube.com/embed/JGwWNGJdvx8?autoplay=1Will give you ‘video unavailable’ error, remove the autoplay tag and it will show (not play).
Trying to find out how to make it work and I will post my config as soon as I get the hang of it.
See ya!

@smassy are you on version 2.8.0?
We put a fix in for video not autoplay -
Ok I finally got that you were talking about magic mirror, yes it’s 2.8.0. But does it affect smartwebdisplay? I thought the module was independent.
-
@smassy well it’s MMM-smartwebdisplay, so I assume it’s a module for MagicMirror.

Yes, I restarted my Pi and normal link is playing video now

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-iframeIf 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 !
