@mochman Thanks for your help. I’ll try it, when I am working the next time on my Magic Mirror.

Sorry about that my internet here went out for a few minutes. Here is the rest of what I was trying to add to my first post… I would like some help getting my pi2 running Rasbian jessie working. I think that i installed all I need to but am not 100% sure, the auto installer failed and i attempted to install manually. My first thought was that Electron was not installed or not installed correctly so i tried running the “node serveronly” option but that failed too. from the results of that i am lead to believe that it has something to do with the modules. I had originally try to customize my the config for the modules but i now have all the default settings in place. I have also included the log file from the last error 0_1464396891025_npm-debug.log This is the error that i get when i try “npm start”. pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start magicmirror@2.0.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror electron js/electron.js /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron-prebuilt/dist/electron: relocation error: /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron-prebuilt/dist/electron: symbol t4lessIjESaIS2_EE17_M_insert_unique_IS2_EESt17_Rb_tree_iteratorIS2_ESt23_Rb_tree_const_iteratorIS2_EOT_, version GLIBC_2.4 not defined in file libm.so.6 with link time reference npm ERR!

Ok, I did find a solution on a different forum in the interweb that did work. I post it here, so that if someone else is looking for the same thing, try the following: Before we start, I did this on a raspberry pi 3, there are a lot of solutions, but most of them don’t work on the pi3. To prevent the pi from going black, I used a little porgam thats called set. apt-get install x11-xserver-utils No you have to open the file: /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart,. Put the following stuff in it: xset s off # don't activate screensaver xset -dpms # disable Energy Star features xset s noblank # don't blank the video device Possibly also comment out the line that says @xscreensaver -no-splash, so the file should now look like this: @lxpanel --profile LXDE @pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE # @xscreensaver -no-splash xset s off xset -dpms xset s noblank As well make sure you did the stuff from the wiki in the /etc/kbd/config. In this file the following values should be set to the following: BLANK_TIME=0 BLANK_DPMS=off POWERDOWN_TIME=0 After you did all this, /reboot the pi. this worked for me… :-) cheers, Flo

I figured it out. I was putting the entire link in the line instead of just the key. Once I made that change, it came right up. Dumb mistake but that’s how I learn. Thanks for your help!!!

@Jpseck89 As in Configuring the Raspberry Pi on the github wiki. Rotating the screen edit /boot/config.txt sudo nano /boot/config.txt Add the following line: display_rotate=1

seems to be. I was browsing this forum on it when I posted the question.

@DirkS, the 'repeatingCountTitle' was implemented by @MichMich (from a PR that a user created, I forgot who.) You may want to ask him.

You need to be inside of the MagicMirror folder for that to work.

OK i fixed it due to the log ;) I had a mistake within the config of the MMM-PIR Module. Now i fixed it and the calendar and newsfeed started to show up again!

Interesting. Could you give https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start a try to see if that one works?

@MichMich I tried the jshint and jslint but, was not successful because of my lack of knowledge in this language. I fixed it but basically scrapping the whole file and doing one section at a time. I learnt a whole lot in two hours though haha

We do use FontAwesome with the Calendar module. Take a look at how that’s implemented (how to include the font-awesome.css file, and how to allow the user to pick which symbol to use.) [image: 1463470371353-calshot.png]

@taztrk please use Markdown on code snippets so it is easier to read :) Looks like your OS or node version is not supported by Electron. Try using Raspbian especially if you do not have much experience.

Heya folks, I tried to use the HTML tag to call a normal BitMap, but it just returns on the screen as a square with the normal icon that an image cannot be loaded or found… I have the BitMap within the same directory as the index.html file and still this does not work, I think thought I would test the idea of loading a random image from google image using the exact link… example: This worked straight away for me, but I cannot seem to get it to load regardless of the directory I use where the image is placed within the MagicMirror directory :) If anyone cold help, put me straight that would be awesome!

Heya folks, Fairly new to MagicMirror2, everything is installed, current version, works a treat, looks awesome too! Anyway I added this code as an tag within a tag, now this is the strange part if I open the index.html file using firefox itself runs as it should and plays the complete playlist, auto plays, repeats… Everything is fine. But once it is opened as it should be on my Raspberry Pi 2 B, it will cue to autoplay the first song/video but then just show a revolving icon meaning it is loading and nothing more. However if I use tab on my keyb and hit the pause button and then hit the enter button again it is quite happy to play the next song/video for me until the end of that said track. Here is the exact HTML You can insert that within a tag if you wish and see if that will play the next track after the first automatically yourself if you wish… Just the mind is boggling here and I’m not sure how or why this is happening… Anyhelp of an example would be awesome :D

@paviro that message is already there. OP must have missed it.
