Reason: Downloding electron takes for ages as the download was below 1kb/s. Solution: Executing the following command using a faster chinese mirror: ELECTRON_MIRROR=http://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/ npm install --prefix ~/MagicMirror electron --save-dev

@joeschmi An easy read that will help you to understand the basics of the config file. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4231/how-to-add-modules-for-absolute-beginners

I’ve also tried installing just a clean raspbian stretch. However, the problem persists when I rotate the display with only the desktop environment of stretch running. I’m now thinking that the 32" Samsung I’m using may be the issue and I’m going to try out another make/model.

@cycaaa looks like result in node_helper is not a string object according to the doc, results is an array PythonShell.run('my_script.py', options, function (err, results) { if (err) throw err; // results is an array consisting of messages collected during execution console.log('results: %j', results); }); SO, you need to get them all, so, sendSocketNotification(“string”,results.join(’ '))

@bhepler after typing sudo npm install electron I received an error : eacces permission denied , mkdir etc also npm warn enoent : no such file or directory… 😵

My currentweather module isn’t showing its location. Module.register("currentweather",{ // Default module config. defaults: { location: false, locationID: 1234567, appid: "", units: config.units, { module: 'currentweather', position: 'top_right', config: { location: 'AnyTown,GB', locationID: '1234567', //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org appid: '############' } }, How do I get the location back on the current weather, please?

Hi guys, I just wanted to say thank you to @bhepler and @sdetweil for trying to help me with this problem. In the end I just used a very old backup at first and updated it, which worked fine at first and yesterday I tried setting my RPi up from scratch again and it worked perfectly! I’m sorry for anybody who encounters the same error and tries finding answers here, sadly there doesn’t seem to be a perfect solution for this. MrKnight230

@sdetweil I finally got it working again!:thumbs_up: I did a full fresh installation on a new SD card with complete latest Raspian and new MM and all the modules I used before…and still the same behavior: MMM-IFrame showed nothing and I got the same warnings as mentioned below. Then I tried MMM-SmartWebDisplay by @AgP42 which finally displays my video stream again. (BTW: This also works with other URLs as described in the documentation) Many thanks for this module.:clapping_hands: For all having issues with MMM-iFrame, MMM-IFrame-Ping etc., try MMM-SmartWebDisplay. Don’t forget to do a NPM install in the module folder once the module is cloned. Thanks, Peter

@Stoffbeuteluwe autoplay is a new restriction in the browsers… you have to click on something… dumb for a mirror with no mouse!! fix edit the smart-mirror/main.js find the line let mainWindow and change it so it looks like this let mainWindow; function createWindow() { app.commandLine.appendSwitch('autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required'); //< -------- added then save and restart MM

it does not work the way you want… not a config option… code would have to be changed

@JcMarin cool… can u mark this solved?

actually this is because you have fired a timer on the slide update showSlides2: function () { if (!this.slideIndex) { this.slideIndex = 0; } var i; var slides = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides"); for (i = 0; i < slides.length; i++) { console.log(slides[i]); slides[i].style.display = "none"; } this.slideIndex++; slides[this.slideIndex - 1].style.display = "block"; if (this.slideIndex > (slides.length - 1)) { this.slideIndex = 0 } setInterval(this.showSlides2, 2000); //< ------- here restarts the function, BUT inside the function 'this'; becomes the context of the timer routine and not the module.. this.updateDom(1000); // or whatever transition time u want. }, to fix it you need an arrow function to keep context right see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/Arrow_functions but net showSlides2: function () { if (!this.slideIndex) { this.slideIndex = 0; } var i; var slides = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides"); for (i = 0; i < slides.length; i++) { console.log(slides[i]); slides[i].style.display = "none"; } this.slideIndex++; slides[this.slideIndex - 1].style.display = "block"; if (this.slideIndex > (slides.length - 1)) { this.slideIndex = 0 } setInterval( () => { this.showSlides2()} , 2000); // < --- was a typo here.. need () => { stuff } this.updateDom(1000); // or whatever transition time u want. },

I am having a problem trying to use any of the APIs that are listed for the MMM-RemoteControl module. I have installed the module and added a config with showModuleApiMenu: true. I can access http://host:port/remote.html and things work from there. In my case monitor on/off. I am trying to use the API to turn the monitor on/off and none of the APIs seem to work. Even using the example from https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/blob/master/API/README.md it shows: curl -X GET http://magicmirrorip:8080/api/monitor/off When I run this I get an error that says “Cannot GET /api/monitor/off” It does not matter what command I try to run they all fail with a similar message. Any ideas what I am missing?

@Ultimatum22 hey there went to do the most current update and ran into the same issue with the vendor/package-lock.json package so I ran the removal script as stated below and it worked and now my pi is updated… I remember you brought up that I should have that package in a gitignore file how do I move it over?

@seramik thanks but as said I already have a method of turning to TV off I just wanted the hdmi to stay live, as said it’s the mmm-voice that was the issue/cause

@emrhssla also, on the module side, logging is Log.log() instead of console.log() then u open the developers window, and select the console tab… currently there is no mechanism to show both parts of a module in the same place node_helper = console.log() - shows in terminal window module.js = Log.log() - shows in developers window, console tab

@sdetweil thank U!!

Doesn’t help much, but mine is still OK.
