API Call Help

[DocDrydenn]

Looking for assistance on how to properly form an API call URL to force MMM-Videoplayer to REPLAY the currently loaded video.

Initially, I set this up in MMM-GPIO-Notifications inside config.js and it worked perfectly:

'16': {
  delay: 2000,
  notifications_low: [
    {
      notification: 'VIDEOPLAYER1',
      payload: 'REPLAY'
    }
  ]
}

Now, I'm moving away from MMM-GPIO-Notifications and to an external python script to handle all my button commands. All went smoothly except for this one command.

I know it has something to do with how MMM-Videoplayer handles notifications... as per the last line of it's config.js entry:

module: 'MMM-Videoplayer',
position: 'fullscreen_above',
config: {
    video: "/modules/MMM-Videoplayer/video/blob.mp4",
    ...
    notification: "VIDEOPLAYER1"  // Unique notification string for this player (to be able to play, pause, restart and next from another modules).
}

I've tried so many different combinations of http:ip:8080/remote?... and just can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

You can try everything out with the Remote-Control API (Docs): http://YOUR.IP.TO_THE.MIRROR:8080/api/docs/#/Module%20Control/get_api_notification___notification_____p_

Then you can see the the curl-command that you can use in your script... :)

This is how it looks for me (using the api/docs):

PS: for the moment (since v2.29.0) the API from the "MMM-Remote-Control" does not work properly, see here: Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control#306
But if you use the suggested PR from khassel you should be good... At least it works for me.

That was it!

I needed to do it with /api/notification/xxxx/yyyy.
For whatever reason, I was mentally fixed on the /remote?xxxx... format.

Thanks for the help! (Yes, I had already applied the MMM-Remote-Control PR)
