MMM-Sounds2

Based on MMM-Sounds but rather than playing the sound locally it gets played in browser for those who host their MagicMirror on a separate server.

NOTE: Chrome blocks the autoplay of sounds until you interact with the site. Adding --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required should do the trick, here is how I launch mine on my pi.

chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --kiosk --incognito https://dash.url.com
