I took a swing at refactoring the GooglePhotos module and have a working copy. I have the code on GitHub here. I did the dev work on a NUC so I could rapidly go back and forth sorting out bugs and removing deprecated packages, but I’m going to be moving it to a test Pi over the next week. I relied heavily on claud to produce this module since I never have enough time to completely digest Google’s new API.
Honestly the google picker workflow is somewhat hot garbage. Like most of you, I moved to the MMM-ImagesPhotos which is a very easy module to use and highly recommended. Although, I wanted to fix the GooglePhotos module so I could get my mom’s photo frame working again.
Feedback is most welcome.
Hi,
Can someone help troubleshoot my sound settings on my RPI4 with Raspbian OS? I use the MMM-Sounds module to trigger sounds at different events, but since copying the SD card to a new one, it seems to have lost the ability to play wav files. Cannot remember how I used to set it up!
When i do Aplay sound.wav nothing happens it plays the wav with no sound.
When I do aplay -l:
card 2: Device [USB2.0 Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
When I do:
speaker-test -c2 -twav -l7 -D plughw:2,0
the speaker outputs front left…front right…front left…etc. so I know it is working.
Thanks a lot for the help!

🏆 Key Features
Multi-League Support: Track SPFL, EPL, Bundesliga, La Liga, and 20+ other national leagues.
Tournament Modes: Dedicated views for UEFA Champions League and FIFA World Cup 2026.
Intelligent Logo Mapping: Automatic team crest resolution for over 1,700 teams.
Performance Optimized: Server-side processing, intelligent caching, and smooth CSS transitions.
Accessible Design: Full ARIA support and responsive typography.
Stale Data Protection: Automatic warning indicators if live data cannot be fetched.
Auto-Cycling: Automatically rotate between different leagues or tournament groups.
no APi Required: Data parsed from the relevant BBC Sport web site.

Version 1.8.0
I will update the final WC 2026 playoff participants once they are confirmed in March and will continue tweaking the module until early June when I will be conscripted into the ranks of the Tartan Army heading for Boston. Any suggestions for improvements gratefully received.
Hope you all enjoy the World Cup and that your team brings you joy along the way.

I installed the module with new OS and latest version of MM. Now I get an Error after activating the module.
ERROR:services/network/chunked_data_pipe_upload_data_stream.cc:212] OnSizeReceived failed with Error: -2
Does the module still works with the new version of Raspberry pi en MM? If what caused my problem.
I’m making a magicmirror for a good friend that is a chemist. I have done extensive digging but cannot seem to find any modules that are related to chemistry. My ideal module would be something that would go through the periodic table of elements and randomly choose an element to give facts, history, and/or a story on its discovery. Something similar to the “today in history” but not time associated.
Hi,
I setup my mirror years ago and used a feature like crontab to have it reboot once pr day.
Now, I would like to remove the autyomatic reboot, but I cannot find what triggers it.
Nothing under crontab -e and nothing in /etc/rc.local.
last -x produces this for one day:
Kragh pts/0 192.168.1.20 Wed Feb 11 17:41 still logged in
Kragh tty1 Wed Feb 11 06:01 gone - no logout
runlevel (to lvl 5) 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v Wed Feb 11 06:01 still running
Kragh Wed Feb 11 06:01 gone - no logout
reboot system boot 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v Wed Feb 11 06:00 still running
shutdown system down 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v Wed Feb 11 06:00 - 06:00 (-00:00)
Help is much appreciated…

Hey everyone! 👋
I built a module that displays photos from your Nextcloud server as a fullscreen MagicMirror² background with smooth crossfade transitions.
Key features:
OAuth2 authentication (Nextcloud built-in, not third-party)
Automatic token refresh — authenticate once, runs forever
Smart image resizing with sharp — a 12MB photo becomes ~250KB
Raspberry Pi 3 optimized (single-thread, memory-safe)
Interactive setup script that guides you through everything
Configurable interval, sync, opacity, display mode
I’m running it on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and it handles large photos without freezing thanks to the sharp resize pipeline.

Hi
With no warning (I haven’t carried out any updates) MMM-Universal-Pir is now failing. It shows under the ‘PIR SENSOR’ heading on the MM screen ‘gpioCommand exited with error!’
Config is:
module: "MMM-Universal-Pir",
position: "bottom_right",
config: {
gpioCommand: "gpiomon -r -b gpiochip0 23",
onCommand: "wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on --transform 90",
offCommand: "wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off",
deactivateDelay: 120 * 1000,
}
and in a terminal gpiomon -r -b gpiochip0 23 shows events when the PIR is triggered and
wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on --transform 90 and wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off still control the screen.
gpiomon is v1.6.3
What can have changed?

Dear Sam ( @sdetweil) ,
Hope you’re doing well! I’ve been using your MagicMirror backup-restore scripts for quite a while
now and they’ve been super helpful - thank you so much for maintaining them!
I just ran into a small issue that I wanted to share. At some point in the past, I had used
mm_restore.sh, which left my local backup repo on a branch called restore-branch. When I ran
mm_backup.sh today (after a loooong time) , it committed the backup to restore-branch (since that was
the checked-out branch), but the push command on line 511 explicitly pushes main:
git push -u origin main refs/tags/$next_tagnumber
So the tag got pushed correctly, but the actual backup commit never made it to main on GitHub -
because the commit was on restore-branch while the push targeted main (which still pointed to the
old commit).
Easy fix on my end - I just merged restore-branch into main and pushed. But you might want to add
a git checkout main (or git switch main) somewhere before the commit step in mm_backup.sh, so the
script always commits to the right branch regardless of which branch happens to be checked out.
Thanks again for all your work on this - and for all the help you are performing here for us!

Hello,
I’ve decided to try to build a magic mirror and, since I’m still in the planning stage, my biggest doubt is which Raspberry to buy.
On one hand I’d like to get a RPi 5, on the other hand the Raspberry will be on 24/7 and the latest model is power hungry, especially compared to older ones.
Also more power means an higher electrical bill and more heat to dissipate (since it will be in a closed frame that’s obviously a problem both because of the enclosed nature of the installation and because of the small space available so I cannot use big heat sinks or fans).
Cost is not an issue since RPi4 costs more or less equal to RPi5
If this helps, I plan to use just a few modules:
a calendar
an IR touch screen
some kind of home assistant module to get some data out of HA
-(optional) a face recognition module, still debating on this tho.
The monitor will be a standard 1920x1080p@60Hz and I don’t plan to do much with MM but these few things (no audio in or out, no AI, no animations).
Which Raspberry would work best in my scenario?
Is RPi 3B+ too old? Is 4B better? Or do I just go with 5?
And, last but not least, how much RAM do I actually need?
I don’t want to buy one to find myself in need of an upgrade in 6 month or 1 year.
Thank you in advance!
I am working on a project where I want to have 7-9 modules stacked either horizontally or vertically.
By default, modules stack vertically. So, if you have three “weather” modules for London, New York, and Toronto, they will look like this:
London Weather
New York Weather
Toronto Weather
This would make sense on a vertical/portrait screen, where stacked makes sense. However, if you have a horizontal/landscape screen, you might run out of space, and it might look weird. Having them side by side might make more sense, like this:
London Weather | New York Weather | Toronto Weather
I spent a non-trivial amount of time trying to override the main.css file’s “flex-drection” settings using the custom.css, but I was unable to do so. I ended up breaking the cardinal rule and modified a file that could be overwritten by future updates.
Would it be possible to have somewhere that could be changed in the config.js? Or, is there an easy way to override using custom.css that I was just too brain-fogged to see?
Thank you.
