    I’ve updated my scripts to install an updated electron to fix this problem… during install or upgrade see https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/issues/4287 if you are installing someplace my scripts don’t run, the fix is to installed a slightly newer version of electron after installing or updating before the first run, do cd ~/MagicMirror npm install electron@44.5.1

    if you installed one of the calendar patches or used the develop branch and intend to upgrade MANUALLY, YOU have to get back to the master branch ahead of time check the current branch cd ~/MagicMirror git branch output example * _fix_clipping develop master and if the highlighted (*) name is NOT master then rm package-lock.json rm package.json git checkout master use git branch to verify master is selected before continuing then do the commands as listed in the documentation if you are using my upgrade script, it will handle all this for you.

    this release requires a new version of nodejs, which is NOT available on the armv6l processor systems, raspberry pi 0w the install and upgrade scripts will abort manual install last step will fail nodejs test, but new code will be downloaded to reverse the code download do git checkout -b oldbranch tags/v2.30 # npm install not required if on this prior branch hardware upgrade required!!!

    @sdetweil said in Version 2.30.0 weather module, stuck loading, worked fine before upgrade: @Assassins seems it doesn’t work anymore… using my old 2.5 key I get code failure with openweathermap Strange, works on my sd card with MM2.29.0 and also works on MMM-DynamicWeather and on MMM-WeatherOrNot with MM2.33.0. Don’t know why openweathermap doesn’t work with MM2.33.0. Besides that, it may have something to do with the code in MM2.33.0 that has been rewritten.

    MagicMirror install on pi0w broken with legacy OS… chromium startup yields illegal instruction uninstall/reinstall doesn’t fix… I think it installed the armv7l version incorrectly.

    we have seen and verified that electron 8.5 and above are not working on raspian Jessie but Jessie is pretty old… u will see an error on npm start (after a version upgrade) /home/pi/MagicMirror__RL1/node_modules/electron/dist/electron: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libdbus-1.so.3: no version information available (required by /home/pi/MagicMirror__RL1/node_modules/electron/dist/electron) strongly recommended to rebuild a new sd card with raspian Buster

    fixes are published in the next release via the develop branch to get there if you did manual install cd ~/MagicMirror git checkout develop git pull npm install restart MagicMirror as normal if you used my install script cd ~/MagicMirror git fetch origin develop:develop git checkout develop npm install if u are already ON the develop branch, and want to update to the latest, git pull npm install restart MagicMirror as normal

    @BiaGen the latest 2 releases run config check as part of startup, and fail if there is an error like that I always recommend using manual start whenever changing config, for this very purpose Stop pm2 mgmt if managing the app Then cd ~/MagicMirror npm start If any problems they are right there Once good, ctrl-q MagicMirror And then use pm2 to launch

    @p1lspeda said: ["MMM-MyCommute","MMM-CountDown","MMM-OpenWeatherForecast","clock","MMM-PublicTransportHafas","MMM-DWD-Pollen","MMM-Fuel"], // page 1 //["clock"], ["MMM-CalendarExt3"], // page 2 just for a side discussion, there is another way to config pages using a page name like “page1” (you had this comment at the end // page 1) and then adding the classes:“page1”, to all the modules you want on page1… I always had trouble remembering where this module was when I was looking at its specific config, had to scroll back to pages config, lost where I was in config, then have to find it again… repeat too many times and the page names can be anything mom, dad, joey, mary, stocks, weather, whatever i call the fixed section , “fixed” then the page def looks clean and the modules tell me where they are… never have to look back and forth , where was this again? so your def would have been { module: "MMM-pages", config: { //rotationTime: 1000 * 30, // rotate every 30 seconds timings: { default: 30000, 0: 30000, }, modules: [ ["page1", "page2" ], fixed: [ "fixed" ] // modules that are always shown }, }, then on the def for MMM-CalendarExt3 { module:"MMM-Calendar-Ext3", position: ....., classes:"page2", ... config: { ext3 config parms } } if you want the same module on multiple pages, just add the space separated list of page names classes:"page2 page5", // in any order

    @KristjanESPERANTO Thanks for your reply. You’re right; I’ll open a separate forum topic or a GitHub issue for MMM-ISS-Live and include the exact player error. I removed one of the units lines from my config.js. Regarding the quotation marks: the ones in my config.js file are actually straight quotes; I think the copy-paste process turned them into typographic (curly) quotes. And regarding the installation of: `sudo apt install -y libvlc-dev libvlccore-dev vlc` Someone online recommended installing that; I was just so disappointed that the module wasn’t working.
