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
While trying to debug modules, I’ve been given quite mixed feedback regarding what to use to print messages to console, on either local system or in remote browser DevTools.
So far, I have found the only reliable way that always seem to print something in the browser, is using console.error(). The others have varied. I’m on MM v2.2.2 (master).
You need to put in payment information to subscribe to the new 3.0 API, but once you do that, it will work (it took about 30 minutes or so for it to work properly on my end) Thank you to Tom for providing this updated version! Got the email about the old API being discontinued, and I knew I’d need to look around for a working fork.
