    You need a rather new stretch image on the pi3b+, otherwise it will not work. The PI3b+ does not boot with jessie images or older ( i THINK < July 2017) stretch images Im my opinion it’s better to install raspbian and magic mirror and all the modules manually and then copy config.js and custom.css. You could also try to copy the whole modules folder… But please consider that if you just copy over the module folders, you might get problems with npm searching for dependencies that are not there anymore. Therefore I would suggest the longer but safe way…

    Hello together! Since one week I’ reading a lot about Magic Mirror. So, I ordered a sample of 4 spy mirrors with different results. To less reflective and good for a display transmission and vice versa. For my wife, the mirror must be very reflective, this is very important, otherwise I can’t change the mirror in the bathroom. So the background screen must be very bright. Especially in that room! Has somebody succeed the pimp of a screen to change the LEDs to a brighter type? Thanks for answers!

    Never got it to display anything. Page could not load or something like that. Not on the Pi0 and also not remotely on another PC. After many attemps and long hours of troubleshooting and reading I finally gave up on it. I really would love to get it working though as I’d like to make another cheap mirror for my brother as a present. Still have a two-way-mirror lying around…

    I found out these Commercial Displays (LG/Samsung) have “signage” software support. Since magicmirror can run off a server and the client is basically a web browser I’m wondering if these TV’s can just load the page from Magicmirror. Does anyone know? What I’m basically looking to make a fancy digital photo frame and calendar. I was looking at how to make this super simple and robust. I’m not looking for buttons on my screen or a mirror. The physical appeal of a Standard TV has uneven bezels and logos etc so I was thinking about using a Commerical Display (LG/Samsung) because the look nicer and may not require additional hardware. (chromecast, RPI, etc) Any thoughts on this? If you google “LG Supersign” or “Samsung Magicinfo” you’ll find more on it.

    Maybe contact the guy from here (Goldjunge_Chriz). In his post it says the max size is 120x80cm to ship to the UK. Maybe you can ask him if he can make an exception. It’s not cheap (way too expensive for my taste) but the results look spectacular. Additional to that it is thin and therefore light. Maybe he’s able to ship to the UK if you pay extra. Should be still below 500€ altogether.

    Best guess is that the glass is custom made, probably layered with thin layers of first the mirror coating at the back, then glass, then the capacitive mesh and then more glass on top. It would require the capacative mesh/grid to disregard any background noise from the mirror coating. But that is probably not an issue if the hardware and software of the touchpanel is custom ordered with those conditions.

    @jctj I followed your document line by line while sshing into the pi but after step 5 i get message “Sorry, your Raspberry Pi is not supported. Please run MagicMirror on a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3. If this is a Pi Zero, you are in the same boat as the original Raspberry Pi. You must run in server only mode.” How to go ahead of this ?

    @qu1que Hi there, Thanks for your reply. Best thing is just to test it with a new clean install of resbian I guess. I also found this post but after I posted my own question. I find the possibility of using an app to “shut down” the system also great and hope this also works for an Android device. ;) I’ll just have to use my breadboard and test it out. But I think I’ll order a Pi zero W for that purpose. If I screw it up it only costed about €10,- :face_with_tears_of_joy: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

    I ordered cheap SMBJ5.0A diodes from Aliexpress for a couple of cents and now my Pi is as good as new. Not the best solder job but I don’t care. Maybe I should see if that really worked by feeding it with 12V again? :clown_face:

    Yeah i know that benchmark (using that speech recognition with my mirror already) :) (newer reapeakers not included there yet they definetly perform a lot better with background music as they use the xvf3000 resulting in them nearly completely removing the background music from any samples) When I saw it it was used in a small robot with speech recognition and it absolutely failed with a distance over around 1 m, but it was on a hackathon so maybe it was just the background noise causing problems. @dvbit it just sends all four channels to the pc aswell? or does it already create just one channel out of the four?

    have you guys also experienced problems with OpenGL? I used the standard MagicMirror install script and did not compile it from scratch: everything works just fine, but ht pm2_error.log shows this and I assume performance could be increased by solving that libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information libGL error: unable to load driver: rockchip_dri.so libGL error: driver pointer missing libGL error: failed to load driver: rockchip
