Hello all,

As the PI prices go up and it’s getting insanely pricy, i was wondering if a used laptop with touch screen can be used as MM2 display with a touch screen feature?
If so, what laptop is recommended and what OS should i run on it?

I’m looking to build a dedicated screen for chores, alarms and reminders for kids.

I would propose the following as a transitional addition to the configuration system.

1. Add a simple GUI based configuration utility or web frontend to the system (there are some modules that attempt to do this already so it would be minimal work to adapt it to the following second detail.

2. For the simple GUI enforce a configuration contract with modules that follows a defined schema using [tags] to define types of information blocks. For a module to be able to show up in the GUI developers will need to briefly update their github repository to add a contract.yaml etc file that defines the default settings for the module.

This merges into the main program a feature that other modules have attempted to create while transitioning the system to a true contract based configuration system that allows for much easier user settings changes. The onus is on the module developers to present the correct base configuration file from which the dynamic configuration file for magicmirror can then be crafted from.

Just an FYI on anyone wanting to load the Letterboxd module you will need to manually update Node fetch to Version 2 at least, and install the cheerio as these are not included on the initial npm install of the modules dependencies.

cd /MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Letterboxd

npm install node-fetch@2

once installed, head back to

cd MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Letterboxd

npm install cheerio

restart magic mirror and it should work :)

I’d like to introduce a new module: MMM-CanvasCalendar

https://github.com/dbeltjr/MMM-CanvasCalendar

I previously maintained MMM-Canvas, a fork of another module that used the Canvas API to display upcoming assignments. After the recent Canvas data breach, my institution stopped issuing API access tokens — so that approach was no longer viable.

As an alternative, I worked with AI to take MagicMirror’s default calendar module and customize it specifically for the Canvas iCal feed. It has similar functionality to MMM-Canvas with a few additions, all documented in the README.

One limitation worth noting upfront: because the Canvas iCal feed does not include submission status, the module cannot automatically remove assignments you’ve already completed.
They will drop off once their due date has passed.

I’m not a developer by trade, but I’ve found AI a useful tool for modifying and creating modules like this. Feedback and suggestions are welcome!

I’ve been using MM for a number of years in a couple of different forms. For the most part, I did what everyone else does and I ran it standalone on a RPi. After having some issues with the RPi hardware and older software causing lock-up’s, I moved to more of a “client-server” setup where the server pieces was installed and running on a linux client (headless) and my local RPi would launch a browser session to connect.

I now find myself in the situation where I would very much like to upgrade the server-side component, but I don’t see a clear directive on the steps I should consider. Attempting to use @sdetweil 's upgrade script results in errors about wrong platform and such, so that’s a no-go.

I’ve tried a couple of other npm type updates but they leave the system in a completely unstable state and I end up having to just revert back to a previous snapshot and restart the server to its former state.

Any general suggestions of where to start?

I added a couple of ‘blank’ pages in between my pages with content and since doing that, none of my calendar events are displaying on the calEXT3 module.

Previously, I had two pages both with content and it was working fine.

I now have a blank page, content page, blank page again, and the final content page with calEXT3. Since adding those blank pages, the calEXT3 module is empty but all others are reporting ok. The default calendar module is still loading the event stream fine, but nothing makes it to the calendar display. I tried reducing to just a single calendar, no help. I also tried going back to the ‘old’ setup with only 2 pages and it still didnt display anything.

I followed these steps from another post, and it didn’t have an effect either:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/20189/default-calendar-not-loading-events-after-new-mm-update/10?page=1

cd ~/MagicMirror
# restore calendar.js 
git checkout defaultmodules/calendar/calendar.js
git fetch origin pull/4180/head:_fix_304
rm package-lock.json
git switch _fix_304
npm run install-mm
restart MM

Hi together!

Im a absolute linux beginner and try to get MM running on a raspberry pi 4

doing it manually leads me to some trouble with electron
using alternative method (mm scripts) neither worked…

quiete frustrating

is their some gnerell advice i need to know before starting again?
right now im going to reinstall raspianOS to start over…

A couple of weeks ago, MagicMirror started displaying a message that the MMM-GoogleCalendar module is behind by two commits, but I’ve git-pulled and installed, merged as required, and ran the npm install but it’s still showing as being behind. I ran npm audit fix and two moderate issues appear, but not sure how to fix them. I’ve installed the latest GAXIOS version as suggested but no joy.

Any ideas?

So for a few weeks now, I continue to get the messsge that my MMM-GoogleCalendar module is two commits behind, even though I’ve git pulled and installed the latest version. Merged as needed and ran NPM audits but see two moderate issues. Screenshots attached!

I have seen a number of posts stating that this module no longer works. Can someone confirm this?

I have set up the module but no data is showing so I assume it’s not able to pull data from gasbuddy.

Dear all,

I have been chasing a runaway Electron disk cache on my Mirror (Pi 5, MM 2.34.0) and added what I thought was the obvious fix to my config.js:

electronSwitches: ["disk-cache-size", "104857600"],   // 100 MB

Some months later the cache had grown to 2 GB (260,000+ files in ~/.config/Electron/Cache/Cache_Data/).
My limit appeared to be ignored entirely.

When I looked at js/electron.js line 47 I think I see why, but I want to sanity-check this with the community — maybe I am simply misreading the code.

The line is:

app.commandLine.appendSwitch(...new Set(electronSwitchesDefaults, config.electronSwitches));

As far as I understand it, two things are happening here:

1. new Set(a, b) silently drops the second argument.

The Set constructor signature is new Set([iterable]) — it accepts exactly one iterable. Any further arguments are ignored. So I believe this is equivalent to:

new Set(electronSwitchesDefaults)

and config.electronSwitches never makes it in.
Is that right?
Or am I missing some clever JavaScript I have not seen before?

2. appendSwitch only takes one switch per call.

The Electron docs state the signature is appendSwitch(switch, value?). Spreading a flat array of multiple switches into a single call should — if I understand correctly — only honour the first switch/value pair and silently discard the rest.

The defaults array ([“autoplay-policy”, “no-user-gesture-required”]) happens to be exactly one switch with one value, so that one works. But anything a user adds via config.electronSwitches would never take effect, even if point 1 were fixed.

If both readings are correct, the natural fix would be a loop, something like:

const switches = [["autoplay-policy", "no-user-gesture-required"], ...(config.electronSwitches || [])];
switches.forEach(([s, v]) => app.commandLine.appendSwitch(s, v));

or, if electronSwitches is documented as a flat array, the user-facing schema would need to be specified more clearly first.

My questions to the forum:

• Is my reading of new Set(a, b) correct here?
• Has anyone successfully used electronSwitches to actually change Electron behaviour, and if so, with what syntax?
• Is this maybe legacy code that the community has worked around in other ways I am not aware of?

Thanks,
Ralf

Since maybe a week I’m seeing the below error in the MMM-Reddit module. No changes were made on my end. Reddit likely made changes to its API.

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

For the life of me I cannot get this module to show the word “days” after the number of days. I do not have anything in custom.css for this module.

I just did a fresh install of Magic Mirror which I’ve had running for years on a different RPi but for some reason I can’t seem to get this new version to start up due to Electron.

I have removed the electron folder and done an npm install that didn’t work, I removed the entire modules folder and did an npm install and that didn’t work… I’ve gone in and manually installed electron node node_modules/electron/install.js and I’m still getting this when I start up my magic mirror.

$ npm start
