Playing music

Ray

It would be great to be able to use the detector to tell it to play my personal music that I have in a directory

bugsounet

just use a another keyword and use notification to wanted module

Ray

Oh okay I did not know that was possible.
Thanks I’ll try it

bugsounet

I just send some samples for activating Alexa or GA

just apply your proper rules for other modules

Title of MMM-Detector is:
New multi-keyword listener for activate assistant or send any notifications to others modules

After you can add you own logo too (everything is ready for your request)

Ray

That’s pretty cool. I’m working on it so I’ll let you know how it goes.
I’m trying to find a reasonably good music player that I don’t have to subscribe to. I think I found one
just to let you know I have been trying to set up my mirror using voice activation. That’s why I like your detector and what you have done with Google assistant. Those two items are perfect for what I’m trying to do

Ray

So I have been experimenting with your MMM-Detector to trying to get it to detect Google assistance by using another hot word, Jarvis works perfectly. I added porcupine to the list and change the model from hey Google to (play music) to see if I can get Google assistant TO start and it doesn’t work him I doing something wrong?

			module: "MMM-Detector",
			position: "top_bar",
			configDeepMerge: true,
			config: {
				debug: false,
				detectors: [
				  {
					detector: "Snowboy",
					Model: "jarvis",
					Sensitivity: null,
					Logo: "google",
					autoRestart: false,
					onDetected: {
					  notification: "GA_ACTIVATE"
					}
				  },
				  {
					detector: "Porcupine",
					Model: "music",
					Sensitivity: null,
					Logo: "google",
					autoRestart: false,
					onDetected: {
					  notification: "GA_ACTIVATE"
					}
				 }
			  ]
			}
```		},


If I can get past this then I can try and start the music player
I am new at all this so I am at a learning stage here. I appreciate all your help. You've been very helpful. I've learned a lot from you

bugsounet

maybe i don’t understand

@ray said in Playing music:

It would be great to be able to use the detector to tell it to play my personal music that I have in a directory

So, I understand this:

you have some music in a directory in your mirror
you have a module to read music in this directory

So:
1st thing: read readme/wiki of this module and search what notification to send for playing music

2nd thing: when you have find this notification just apply rules in MMM-Detector

....
{
					detector: "Porcupine", // or snowboy
					Model: "your wanted model", 
					Sensitivity: null,
					Logo: "your own logo",
					autoRestart: true, // needed in this case
					onDetected: {
					  notification: "NOTIFICATION_OF_MUSIC_MODULE",
                                          payload: { maybe: "of needed" }
					}
				 }
...

Model: see model list on wiki, don’t invent any model … you have a list
Logo: create your own logo or use defined in main core
see this part for more informations

Ray

Okay I thought I did read wiki carefully before posting this to you. So please bear with me. I’m new at all this and I’m trying to learn.
I see a couple things that you have changed that I was not aware of. One was autorestart from false to true.
and the added feature under notification payload. I’ll have to read more about that.
I think I pretty much understand the rest of it

I was just trying to test my theory here before I moved onto my music module which is by changing the model: name from (ok google) TO (music)
without changing anything else. I thought it would also start Google assist Unfortunately that did not work. So I figured I was not doing something right so that’s why I message do you

The module I’m hoping to make work here is MMM-MP3Player

I will do some more reading on wiki

Ray

Sorry to bother you
I currently have MMM-MP3Player which I can set to automatic to play my music on start up of my mirror.
Is there a way that I can have the MMM-Detector activate MMM-MP3Player for me. I try to figure it out for myself and was unsuccessful. I have read wiki! And couldn’t find anything that could help me with this. So that’s why I’m asking the question

I would appreciate any help you can give me. In guiding me in the right direction

bugsounet

For this functionality, you can use a recipe with “onReady” plugins and notification commands

I’m on the phone. So I can’t write it actually, I will do it for you when possible

Ray

That would be fantastic. I would appreciate that

bugsounet

Sorry, @Ray, I don’t forget you !

I will offer this before the end of the week-end !
I have some personal problem to solve before

Ray

No worries. I know you’re busy

bugsounet

@Ray

maybe try this there is an autoplay on start

I try to do it with GA on start but this module is too long to load… So GA send a notification but the player don’t execute it because the player have not load all music list

bugsounet

After yes, when loaded, vocal ALL control works with GA

Ray

Okay well thank you for trying. I appreciate your effort.
So can you show me the procedures on what you did, so I can play with it and understand how it works

bugsounet

finally, I will integrate an MP3 player in GA v3
just wait and see

Ray

That would be fantastic. I will be waiting
