@sdetweil - thank you! I wound up reinstalling it and it seems to be taking my edits. I appreciate the help!

Here’s an update with an even better fix! While beginning my journey into custom css, I quickly came across another fix to the poor graphics of a vertically rotated screen. In my opinion, this fix is even better than using xrandr because this fix saves a ton on performance, results in a look just as good as using the screen in its native horizontal look, and once you implement it, it will stay implemented. All you have to do is copy and paste the following to your MagicMirror’s custom css: body { margin: 0; position: absolute; transform: rotate(90deg); transform-origin: bottom left; width: 100vh; height: 100vw; object-fit: cover; top: -100vw; visibility: visible; } There you go, just like that you’re set. The custom css of modules may have to be edited as well to make it work but that’s a small price to pay for a much better finished product. Credit where credit is due, I found this fix right here on the forum!

@bmadeira it’s the pi running out of memory, not sure what is using all of it, I use cronjob to restart mm every 12 hours

@juergli Great, that makes me very happy :)

@paulvanderheijden90 IP conflict in the router maybe. Hard to say since the raspberry pi and the philip hue bridge have nothing to do with each other except being (probably) on the same network.

A simple wish but can’t solve it. I use two HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors on both sides of the frame. I want to change the next page by putting my hand in front of right sensor. Putting your hand back in front of the left sensor on the previous page. I’ve tried “MMM-simple swiper” and MMM swipe "but they don’t work for me. The sensors work and show distance, but I can’t put them on as buttons Pressing the “MMM page indicator” mouse button changes the pages normally. How to do it most easily. Has anyone used it or can teach it?

@sdetweil I will. It’s a vga connection not hdmi if that matters. Since it’s a gift I don’t want to have to enter code on every reboot so worse case I have the frame turned to landscape vs portrait

@sunnykeerthi I think it is fixed. Update and try again.

I believe this actually may have begun with the new update about a month ago so I may try reinstalling a fresh build.

Hi All! Having never used Raspberry Pi in my life (or done nay coding of any sort) I thought it would be a good idea to make a MagicMirror to use with a two-way mirror built in to the bathroom wall while we’re getting a new suite put in. I’ve managed to (somehow) get everything working that I needed (only basics like weather, news, Google calendar, etc.) but I’d also like to try experimenting with video - I’ve got an idea about lying in the bath watching football through the mirror, and would like the audio to play through a portable bluetooth speaker which can sit next to the bath. However, I can’t get started with making the audio work, which is why I need your guys’ help. Following online instructions I expect to: Open Terminal Enter ‘sudo bluetoothctl’ However, I can’t get any further than this, as I get stuck on ‘waiting to connect to bluetooth…’ When I run ‘sudo systemctl status bluetooth.service’ it says ‘Failed to start Bluetooth Service.’ and’ bluetooth.service: Failed with result ‘signal’ (I realise this would be more helpful as code, but my pi is connected with my a monitor and I wouldn’t know how to begin getting the code to copy over! Can anyone advise why this may be failing? And how I can fix it? I’ve looked through loads of articles, both on here and on Google, but the things they suggest don’t change anything or are so complex I don’t know where to begin to make the changes they suggest! Any help would be greatly appreciated, and whoever finds the solution, I shall think of you in the bath :) Cheers.

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
