@Purple what folder were you in when u did the git clone command? read the two topics in my signature below. they will help you get started. I didn’t write them

@JoeFranz It is probably because of the current firmware 5.15 With rpi-update b976c54917e240630c05a9b383010f1492bc61b4 I installed version 5.10. It now works again with the standby on the HDMI connection. Greetings Joerg edited due to wrong quotes outside code block

@jeromeguill the last two parameters described in the doc give u the ability to specify a specific image

@Purple no, you run install then every 3 months when we release a new version on mm you run the upgrade others are for if u change your mind if English isn’t your primary language, translate the page

This might be… https://github.com/nicokaiser/rpi-audio-receiver

@hesspoint hm… sounds like maybe a bad cable? or a bad port on the pi

@justinreimer I have submitted fix https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/pull/2905 for the next release

see https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/2831

@sdetweil Thanks for the suggestion. You were right. It was a Home Assistant automation going haywire. The automation switched off the screen via MMM-remote-control. On top of that somehow the “blank screen” option in the Pi settings was turned on again (no clue why, maybe after the last update). Anyhow I now tamed the automation and turned off the blank screen again and now it seems to be working normally again

@wolffenstine should not have position specified… see the config.js.sample

@sdetweil thanks a lot, will try it tomorrow 👍

@N6NG further the instructions said NEVER EVER do this (npm init ) in the MagicMirror folder if you do/did, then do git checkout package.json to restore the package.json file I guess I need to add more words if you DID do npm init -y IN THE MagicMirror folder then you need to fix this. do cd ~/MagicMirror git checkout pakckage.json then go back to the module folder cd - an resume the fix instructions then go

@sdetweil ok …thanks

@kayakbabe yes requiring hardware makes it another challenge…

@sdetweil said in SharedImageManager::ProduceSkia: Trying to Produce a Skia representation from a non-existent mailbox.: @lif yes… currently 64 bit mode is sketchy in my opinion OK

@Narya so. your home network can’t be seen for outside your home unless you do some extra work configure your router to allow incoming requests(off by default) so, let’s say u want users outside your house to use a url like http://fribble.home.someplace.com:8023 then your router has to pass that request only the machine on your network running MagicMirror on port 8080 this is called port forwarding now the next challenge is to locate your router on the internet, as connected by your isp. by default the isps give out addresses via DHCP , and do not register a name for each home/router. you can find the address using the https://www.hashemian.com/whoami/ url on your machine running MagicMirror you can use the ip in your qr, http:ip_address:8023 now. ‘most’ of the time your router will retain one IP address. but it CAN abd DOES change there are services that can map a fixed name to an isp IP address. I use dyndns.org, and my router keeps the setting up to date. ( a Google search will find other ddns services) then your qr code would use the fixed name and port used in the port mapping. now, SOME isps don’t allow incoming requests on normal accounts. I’ve had two over the last 20 years that required a special static address account ( for more money) where would u post your qr for them to use from their phone?

@Foxy25 It’s a warning, not an error. Likely no issue. Something we don’t use. I brought it up solely because it’s there.

@N6NG yeh, long threads get no summary

@sdetweil Thank you.

@sdetweil let config = { address: "0.0.0.0", // Address to listen on, can be: // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface // - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface // Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost" port: 8888, basePath: "/", // The URL path where MagicMirror is hosted.
