@bkeyport right. MagicMirror is a web page presented by a browser. the key idea difference is no user clicking on content to make things happen.

it unattended.

@mozaku Awesome! Where do you get the IR frame?

@sdetweil Thanks for that, I thought I’d check before I start asking questions about it. I’ll go back and get the other MM working.

@sdetweil THANKS MAN! I think I’m finally able to play around with this thing

@karsten13 good catch,

Not sure what the h… happened here.
My MMM-Screencast doesn’t show up in the Youtube app any longer.

I did a reinstall with

git clone https://github.com/kevinatown/MMM-Screencast.git cd MMM-Screencast npm install

Config looks like this

{ module: "MMM-Screencast", position: "bottom_right", config: { castName: "Spejl", position: "bottomCenter", height: 600, width: 800, } },

Just to be sure that I had the latest, but nothing shows up.
Is there a special trick for this?

Looking in the logs, I did find something, but I don’t understand the meaning, except that it says it’s already listening?

0|MagicMir | [24.04.2021 17:30.32.266] [ERROR] Error [ERR_SERVER_ALREADY_LISTEN]: Listen method has been called more than once without clo sing. 0|MagicMir | at Server.listen (net.js:1386:11) 0|MagicMir | at DialServer.start (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Screencast/DialServer.js:123:17) 0|MagicMir | at Class.socketNotificationReceived (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Screencast/node_helper.js:22:21) 0|MagicMir | at Socket.<anonymous> (/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/node_helper.js:109:11) 0|MagicMir | at Socket.emit (events.js:210:5) 0|MagicMir | at /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/socket.io/dist/socket.js:434:28 0|MagicMir | at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:75:11) { 0|MagicMir | code: 'ERR_SERVER_ALREADY_LISTEN' 0|MagicMir | }

I looked a bit with
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN
And without MagicMirror running it shows

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 490/sshd tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 490/sshd

with MagicMirror it shows

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 490/sshd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5754/electron.js tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 490/sshd tcp6 0 0 :::8569 :::* LISTEN 5754/electron.js

So the port 8569, isn’t that screencast? If I uncomment the screencast config, it doesn’t show the port as opened…
So why doesn’t it show up in the app?

@bravooscar That looks great, thanks :)

@cheapdad The forum is for crap at times… someday maybe perhaps some magical moment will occur and someone will actually fix it.

@nikhil What did you use as a mirror? and where did you buy your mirror/acrylic?

@tippon my pleasure…

@babene1 No, no errors, in HA.

@cowboysdude We had snow here yesterday, it’s suppose to be spring! Can you please fix the weather here as well, It’s not really working… :)

Great work, Looking great!

@oberfragger thank you for mentioning pihole it sounds really useful, I’ll add it to my project scope :D

Thank you that really helps, it’s such an interesting project and I’m really interested to see what I can do with it.

@rxldavid the code is open source so you can check it for malicious intent or security issues

@sdetweil
Thanks Sam. I would like to avoid bugging my own home, so sounds like I can do without these modules for now

@pddh I forgot to mention- i have a double switch installed. One for the bathroom lights and the other for the mirror light. So i can use the mirror light easily for the MM.

Later on i will break thru the wall and make a socket behind the mirror. So i have constant 220v and the Alexa behind the mirror will have always power.

I power off the rpi and monitor fully over night for saving some energy and daily fresh reboot.

@jste84 same error? tell me more

arecord -l ( for list)
will tell you what recording devices u have

arecord test.wav
speak some words
ctrl-c to end recording
aplay test.wav

do you hear what u said

@MichMich
I think it would be a good idea to put a little more visibility on documentation in the forums so that we could get an idea what would be the most helpful for the community. I have some energy to work on this (sent a couple PRs earlier).

Would it be possible to get “Documentation” as category or subcategory? It could probably work as a thread but it seems like I don’t have any posting permissions in the categories where it’s relevant

@hango
That’s cool…
Was looking for such thing, too.
Is it possible to keep the text online for a certain time, i.e. from time x til time y?
Maybe with the fade option…?
Would like to use that for indicating the time of the day for an eldery person which sometimes confuses e.g. morning and evening etc.

E.g. something like that:

case (daytime >= 5 && daytime < 7): document.write("It's early morning..."); break; case (daytime >= 7 && daytime < 9): document.write("it's morning time... " ); break;

Regretfully I am not too capable in java or implementing such little script.
