@sdetweil So if I look at the screen with it above my head, so looking upwards at it, it looks good and how I would like it look. However if the screen in below my head, so I’m looking downward at it, then I can clearly see the entire monitor through the plexiglass. The glow from the screen even in the black areas with no text can clearly be seen, even though it’s at the lowest dim level. I know online everyone says how great Pilkington MirroView looks as a end result though I can’t find anywhere to order it online, only calling the company directly and talking to someone. I’m just wondering if anyone has thoughts on the best route to go. Would buying MirroView block the ambient light from the screen better? Or would I still have the same problem and looking for a new screen is probably the only way to go?

@aunrea there are two places Where you did npm start If you are using pm2 to launch MagicMirror then pm2 logs --lines=xxx Where xxx is the number of lines to show (default 15) In the browser log, open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, and select the console tab

@clarkcrew32 can this be marked resolved?

@bergmannfrank can you test this?

@Bimtronic Try MMM-CalendarExt3 instead of MMM-CalendarExt. MMM-CalendarExt is no longer maintained.

@edwardbuck My Condolensces… nothing more important than family thank you for your time trying again… glad you have it working give a shout if you need more helpw ith anything.

@Zinkeler glad you go it!

@cpcode well, a script or pm2 with a script… I’ve never heard of MM restarting if you use npm start and select close or use ctrl-q

I assume this is possible but I can’t figure out the coding - very new to MM and JS. Any help will be appreciated. I have a task list with mostly recurring tasks but each day 1-3 non-recurring tasks get added to the list. With showCompleted: true, all tasks show throughout the day, then at some point overnight the Completed recurring tasks drop and get replaced by the Incomplete task for the new day. However, all the non-recurring tasks stay so that after a few days there’s along list of Completed tasks. How do I have all Completed show until the end of the day, midnight, whatever, then have the non-recurring drop along with the recurring?

@chrisfr1976 Nailed it! Thank you

@ChrisLeduex – OK, thanks. I wasn’t sure that the url path went anywhere in particular.

@lxne you can switch back to x11 using raspi-config

@dRagon glad you found it!

@togletree93 I added a new script at the end of the scripts page https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts this will install my startup script in the package.json and update the installers/mm.sh to indicate which browser to use (and install the browser you pick from a list if not already installed) this will run mm in server only mode and then launch a browser over it like you did manually the look is identical, (alth0 midori browser has gotten troublesome with its parameter handling and MAY need to have its window maximized manually

In the code below, events with “Bday” in the title are correctly colored but the “birthday-icon” is not applied. They are all full day events. The intent is that each person has a color and icon applied to their events but events with a specific start time are not transformed. What am I doing wrong? I will appreciate specifics and examples of correct code. I’ve had the Pi running a week and these are my first attempts at coding and I’m struggling with some of it. I tried using eventNames and then using the custom.css to color events but couldn’t get that to work for any events including full day. ``` module: “MMM-CalendarExt3”, position: “bottom_bar”, title: “May Cubed”, config: { mode: “month”, instanceId: “combinedCalendar”, locale: ‘en-US’, maxEventLines: 6, showMore: true, firstDayOfWeek: 0, useMarquee: false, calendarSet: [], //<-- can enter “name of calendar from calendar module” to display only that one. Works in combination with InstanceId eventTransformer: (ev) => { if (ev.title && ev.title.search("Bday") > -1) { ev.color = "#3056FF" //ev.symbol = "birthday-cake" <--is there something to do this in transform? I have them as keyword customEvents under the calendar module } else if (ev.title && ev.title.search("Name1") > -1) { ev.color = "#80ef80", //ev.symbol = "flower-tulip" <--same comment as above

@atwist the googleassistant author has coded it that way don’t know why.

@mumblebaj said in Contributing to a GitHub repository - a bit stuck: Make sure it is set to bash. It is set to zsh. No issue to change it to bash, but is there a reasoning behind it ? Stupidly enough I had this Terminal open the whole time. I just did ‘Commit’ from within VS Code and then did ‘Sync Changes’. Result: % git status On branch evroom Your branch is up to date with 'origin/evroom'. nothing to commit, working tree clean So that works just fine. I also made a change using the Terminal and then did the add and commit from the Terminal. In the Source Control pane you can see what you do on the command line in real time.

Thanks, I ended up doing this in my custom.css #module_4_MMM-CalendarExt3 { margin-left: -40px; margin-right: -40px; } It doesn’t seem like the best approach, but it works.

@diccon yes, a module is missing a required library , you need to run npm install in the module folder for the specific module this is version 2.28, latest is 2.29, we have added code to catch these failures and continue running, where before we crashed.

@OliWer didn’t take it as a rant…
