@sdetweil Thank you, will do!

@rabbit83ka Thank you for getting the ball rolling!

@1eretoile Personne pour m’aider???

So I’m looking for something the can be a location and destination, and then keep updated when the next bus is arriving for that trip. I have found MMM-MyTransitTime, but it doesn’t seem to be active.

Is there anything else I could take a look at?

@raspberrypi9 typically one needs a small computer to fit in a case on the wall. there are quite a few SBC (single board computer) capable.

yes to your components list. and wherever you can find them in your budget. mirror glass is the most expensive component .

i have wanted to cover my 55 in tv mirror, but $1000 incl shipping is out of the budget for that .

touch yes. they make ir frames that go around non-touch, and send mouse cricks to the app.

note: very little is touch enabled.

oh, and you do get fingerprints…,

@KristjanESPERANTO since you got me curious, I looked into Wayland a bit.

So to answer your question again:

While Wayland is generally considered more efficient in general use scenarios, in a scenario where you want no window management, no window decoration and certainly no visual effects, that efficiency advantage would not only be negated, but turned into a disadvantage.

Also unlike X11, Wayland apparently cannot be started as a bare-metal service but always requires a compositor like Weston or Sway in the background which would actually not only result in a heavier premium in resource usage but would also require a more complex and error-prone setup.

Last but not least, wayland is far less use-case agnostic compared to X11. Like many modern software suites, it makes a lot of assumptions about how it is going to be used. Since many, if not most of these assumptions wouldn’t hold true in a scenario like the one we’re discussing here, using Wayland would carry a lot of the downsides of running MagicMirror on a full DE, in short, you’d be fighting against your framework instead of working with it.

In conclusion I can say from what I learned about Wayland so far, I definitely made the right choice with X11.

N.B. that are only the conclusions of a very brief look into Wayland on my part, so there may very well be ways to make it behave the way I want it to, but if they exist, they seem to be a lot less trivial and well-documented.

@Elizashahh i also didn’t add, you start a periodic timer (interval) to start fetching new data. then call
updateDom() when the data is ready to be used for the ui.

or start a one time timer, fetch data, call updateDom, then start another timer. this might cause a little drift in when you update.

i got the mirror up and running. it loads the desktop and then the Chromium browser.
how do i get a music player like PiCorePlayer installed via command line? or OR what player can i install on the smart mirror to connect to my LMS and then play music?
seems nobody has done such a thing…

@brentmatthews sorry, I don’t know… give it a try

I don’t know the workings of most modules…
I can help with getting the config data into the right places, or detect when config isn’t specified right…

@brentmatthews said in Recommend a Word of the Day module? (English):

This css is fun

lol… not many of us think that!.. (including me)
glad you are making progress

@WallysWellies good learning experience

Add them to the module, submit a pr
Then use custom.css to override to make them not show

@bugsounet thank you very much. i’m grateful

wiki also works here but forum has been offline for a while, maybe Cédric is on holiday

@jjd awesome

@DarrenO-0
git reset
yes… AND you are NOT supposed to update our files… for this very problem. so it taught you something!.. my upgrade script would have warned you…

update notification,… well it depends on the module and what the changes are
if the module has a package.json, then its git pull && npm install or npm rebuild, or …
altho the new 3rd party list is demanding a package.json for metadata about the module… so, that rule is not as useful…

so it depends… I would NEVER allow an extension to update my system like that !..
so you get what you get… if it works, don’t touch it…

on the restart on change, thats in pm2, and sometimes the file change detection doesn’t work … (for me like 95% not working… 5% where it works is on a mac, I rarely use for MM)…

pm2 restart all will do the same thing

@DarrenO-0 I just execute the curl command. I have no control over its networking code.

every time it’s failed due to networking there has been a real problem somewhere

@WallysWellies said in Default Compliments Module - Special Days:

see what they say.

i help decide too

@sdetweil Seems like rpi-connect is still in beta. May be a viable option if no relay is required else the lag could be nasty as the turn server is located in the OK.

@hengy no.problem. that’s why I asked.

@kayakbabe well, all I can say, is I must not have tested it right.
my apologies

try again… all three scripts corrected now
