@Sean Thanks to you, I’ve solved the problem.

@otto said in I am givning up.. new install: cannot load mixer controls: Ogiltigt argument Did you tried the command I gave you? Thoses a just to validate that your mic is working, after you can work on alsamixer. The basic command are great tools to make sure stuff is working as you want. Maybe a long shot but did you tried the following solution provided here? https://askubuntu.com/questions/765396/alsamixer-cannot-open-mixer-invalid-argument It seems alsamixer can be tricky to config and some files need to be created manually (sound is muted by default at install).

@ooom416354 Hi, yes it’s possible but you would have to define the size for the module for it to contain the text. (Otherwise it just fills the available space in the bottom_left region) so in the custom.css add something like this : .MMM_modulename { width : 400px; } Replace the “MMM_modulename” with the name of the module and adjust the width accordingly.

Had the same problem, change directory to MagicMirror and execute npm start. Hope it help

Hello, I’m very new to magic mirrors, and so maybe my issue is obvious, and in that case I’m sorry. I’m trying to use the mmm-reddit module to pull from just one subreddit, but it’ll only work for me, if I set it to multiple subreddits. Here’s the setup that doesn’t work for me: { module: "MMM-Reddit", position: "top_right", config: { subreddit: ["showerthoughts"], showHeader: false, headerType: "sentence", displayType: "headlines", count: 4, show: 4, width: 360, showRank: false, showScore: false, showSubreddit: false, showNumComments: false, colorText: false, showThumbnail: false, showGilded: false, } }, Here’s the setup that does work for me: { module: "MMM-Reddit", position: "top_right", config: { subreddit: ["NintendoSwitch", "Showerthoughts", "Denmark"], showHeader: false, headerType: "sentence", displayType: "headlines", count: 4, show: 4, width: 360, showRank: false, showScore: false, showSubreddit: false, showNumComments: false, colorText: false, showThumbnail: false, showGilded: false, } }, Any good suggestions? I’m kind of lost 😕. Thank you very much!

I’ve added a feature request to GitHub here.

@sdetweil are u in the MagicMirror folder when u issue git pull? Try my update script here https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10859/new-update-upgrade-script-ready-for-testing?page=1

Hey all, new user here. I just installed everything according on my pi3 to the handy guides, using the automatic installer. However my MM lags whenever there’s a big animation like the compliment changing or the news feed updating. Using task manager it seems my electron cpu usage is around 35 percent at rest and over 100 percent during a transition. Any thoughts on this? What information do I need to supply to help identify the problem?

Ub ports is a touch version of ubuntu

@maddinmirror Glad you managed to get it working again. Can you mark the post as Solved if you are happy with the solution?

@retroflex I used the shutdown from MMM-remotecontrol to shut it down. 8 did have a backup of config & css on laptop so it was just reinstalling modules for the most part

@Achilles cool… glad its working

@sdetweil thank you very much

Hi, great that you are interested in my module. I did not test ist for a while and currently have no working installation of MM. Hopefully the answer of Sam helps you. I will try to get my mirror running this week and will test the module.

@Stoffbeuteluwe there is no frame in the original code of MMM-iFramePing you’ve must have changed something or the displayed item in the iframe has a white background

@qu1que said in How to run two instances of one module?: Thanks! Now it works perfect!! Excellent! :thumbsup:

I have a raspberry pi zero with the Raspberry Pi Camera v2.1. I am trying to make it stream video and work with the MMM-RTSPStream module installed on the main Rapsberry Pi 3 but am getting errors. I am setting up the RTSP stream using instructions found on https://zoneminder.blogspot.com/p/rasbpeery-pi-zero-camera.html and when I get to sudo systemctl start v4l2rtspserver I get an error and nothing happens I noticed that the file referenced in the system file I had to create does not exist in the usr/bin but I found it in home/pi/v4l2rtspserver location so I used the terminal to copy it over. However that did not fix the issue Camera I am using: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-camera-module-v2-1-with-mount Any help you can provide with this is appreciated I included a photo of the systemctl status file [image: 1566058837752-img_6608.jpeg]
