@kayakbabe lol easy to fall into the ditch!..

@Joris_Bogaerts sure. see my backup/restore repo it creates a file of the urls to the modules on github and on restore loads them all… so just make the file. https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

Hi, I have code an magic TV with MagicMirror app (v2. 13, never update it!) for my company. It display some information (read directly from database,) and slide show photos, internal document. It’s just an rpi3B+ used in local (for technician hall) with an 27’ screen computer and remotely (server mode for hall of the company) with a 100’ smart tv Works fine since ~2y now

I was at microcenter and bought a pimoroni inky touchscreen just to play with. I’ve been fighting with teh MMM-flick-gesture module trying to add the airwheel gestures and learned I need to learn a lot more… Since the pisupply Flick would be hanging below the mirror anyway… I’m thinking the inky display might be a better thing to use instead. And… it could display some things when the mirror is blacked out, and when the mirror is displaying, it could show instructions on how to use it to control the mirror pages and module. I think I might be going down a rabbit hole. I’m wondering if anyone has setup an inky display magic mirror. Have you?

I would like to use a live webcam feed from a tropical island as my background. Is this possible? Seems like it would be fairly easy but still outside of my capabilities…

@earnestrichards I do this and it make backup to a .img file. https://github.com/The-Exterminator/PiShrink-to-Crontab

@mayfield There are a few places to check the logs. If you start your mirror using pm2 then you can just run pm2 logs --lines 50 and see if there are any errors. You can change the line numbers to get more lines. You can also check the developers window (shift + ctrl + i) and see if there are any errors there. If you start your mirror using npm then you can check the terminal where you started the mirror from for any errors. For modules that are not working the issue is problem deprecated dependencies. See below post on how to fix these. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later?page=1

@Stoffbeuteluwe AND you looked in the two places we always look for errors the dev window and the console output…

Amazon has plenty, not expensive. Do a search for Vesa mount for raspberry pi.

Hello, I’m using the MMM-SmartTouch Module(https://github.com/EbenKouao/MMM-SmartTouch) and I’m wondering if it’s possible to have the my screen go black/have the screen saver activate when I press the white square, and be able to click anywhere on my screen to have the screen display everything again. Is there a way to do that? Thanks in advance. (I know that the white square does that, but I can still see it, since it’s not completely transparent. And if I make it completely transparent I forget where it is and I have to keep tapping different parts of my screen until I find it again.)

@zanewiller seem illogical. u use them to display tv, so I assume u want the audio. but u don’t want the audio? the doc on iframe-ping says it is not active when hidden. so should be silent unless the page being shown uses that module course if you auto rotate pages, then they will turn on, then off, then on…

@shannons no problem… my pleasure… it gave me something constructive to do while in hospital last year… and I added it to my mirror for family to add pics for me… so, win win…

@sdetweil :thumbs_up:

@vimsi trying to use this to display tweets from a specific account, but not sure where to start. any suggestions or advice?

Here’s what I’m looking for: an RSS feed of news items that is cycled through the screen support for an IR remote the ability to select an RSS item with the remote and have it open the corresponding web page. Would be cool if it was a simplified page. The IR should be able to scroll up down the page and ‘tab’ through links if the RSS link is a YouTube video, be able to open that. return to magic mirror at any point https://github.com/mumblebaj/MMM-NewsAPI is most similar maybe, but wasn’t sure about adding IR. Any help appreciated!
