    Hi guys, so much useful information. I have a brain explosion, and I did not expect to find all this here. I was already in despair, I thought that I would order an assignment on the Internet and use the services of the marketing assignment help service. But now I understand that I can do everything myself. Guys, thank you for creating this forum and share such useful information. How glad I am that I decided to drop by for a few minutes and wasted my time for that. Many thanks to everyone.

    Hi everyone hope 2020 is being kinder to you than many. I am late to the mirror booth photobooth game but wish to build a mirror booth or two. My market doesn’t have tempered two way glass so there is only acrylic. I have a 40 inch tv in stock and a Shuttle PC which has decent specs. I may adapt the back so it is not so roadcase looking just as main market is weddings; and I have seen some providers for the software (open to any suggestions or good experiences) My questions are: Will two way mirror acrylic work ok to show up the PC screen imagery and withstand the events industry scene? with a 40 inch screen would a65 inch touchframe be too big …is 55inch better to get gesture control I believe a webcam is needed. I want to fit a DLSR for better quality print out pics in general but on events that insist on gesture control i can use webcam (would the webcam rest on top of how best to integrate both ? I am sure I have a million more questions but anyone who has gone the DIY route and learnt along the way and can help me navigate the pitfalls and do the project would be a huge help [image: 1606910822298-mirror-photobooth-white-frame-google-search.png]

    @raf well, they have to update their certificate, OR you have to accept that they have an invalid cert… and you MAY not be connecting to the right place there is no other fix… this is what certificates and https is all about I don’t see that error or see any log entry trying to access that domain.

    @raf no, that’s not it. You need an Rpi4-specific image. Do like this: Find out where MagicMirror is installed. I’ll use ~/MagicMirror in the below. (~ is a shortcut to your home directory) Go to your home directory by entering the command: cd Make a full backup of you MagicMirror installation by entering the command: tar czvf mmbackup.tgz MagicMirror This will create a file call mmbackup.tgz Copy the file mmbackup.tgz to another computer or usb stick. There are several ways to do that, google if you don’t know. The important thing is that you do NOT store it on the SD card. The easiest way is probably to use an USB stick. Insert the stick into the Rpi3 and Raspbian will normally automount it. I will assume that the stick is mounted as /mnt/usb. If so then copy the backup with the command: cp -vi ~/mmbackup.tgz /mnt/usb On you Windows computer, download a raspbian image for Rpi4. Insert your SD card and write the image to card using Etcher or similar program (The same as you did when creating the SD card for the Rpi3) Move the SD card to the Rpi4 and complete the install. Copy the file mmbackup.tgz from wherever you put it to your home directory (~). If you used an USB stick in step 4 above then you can use the command: cp -vi /mnt/usb/mmbackup.tgz ~/ Unpack the backup with the commands: cd tar xvzf mmbackup.tgz Follow the instructions at https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html to complete the install. Skip step 2 as you have already installed MagicMirror.

    MMM-RTSPStream by far. Author attempted to expand a working module to make it compatible with different bases, and broke it totally, then sadly, had to abandon. :(

    Hi guys, thanks for the great guide @sean. I am currently using it with MMM-Carousel w/ Slide Navigation and it works fine. I am struggling to execute a command for another project. https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/123787-raspberry-pi-powered-surveillance-camera-monitoring-display The command is /etc/init.d/displaycameras {start|stop|repair}. How can I execute the command via webhook? I would be delighted to hear from you. With kind regards mopedmann

    @BigDanT Hi, you need another module to get it work: MMM-ProfileSwitcher The idea is to define a “normal” class to which all modules do belong that will be displayed if motion is detected. The Slideshow will be in class “slideshow”. The Screensave module is configured to not shutoff the monitor but change to the “slideshow” profile. If SCREEN_ON is triggered the Screensave module will change back to the profile that was used before the screensave (in our case “nomal”). I updated the config example to do the job (but i could not test it at the moment): var config = { address: '0.0.0.0', electronOptions: {}, ipWhitelist: [], modules: [ //Screen on & off timer{ { module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler', config: { notification_schedule: [ // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN ON AT 07:30 EVERY DAY { notification: 'SCREEN_ON', schedule: '00 07 * * *', payload: { 'forced': true } }, // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN OFF AT 22:30 EVERY DAY { notification: 'SCREEN_OFF', schedule: '30 22 * * *', payload: { 'forced': true } }, ] } }, { module: 'alert', config: {}, classes: 'normal' }, { module: 'updatenotification', position: 'top_bar', config: { ignoreModules: [] }, classes: 'normal' }, { module: 'clock', position: 'top_left', config: {}, classes: 'normal' }, // top Right Calenar { module: 'calendar', header: 'Family Calendar', position: 'top_left', config: { calendars: [{ symbol: 'calendar-check', url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/xxx.ics', } ], }, classes: 'normal' }, // Weather Section { module: 'currentweather', position: 'top_right', config: { location: 'UK', locationID: 'xxx', appid: 'xxx', }, classes: 'normal' }, { module: 'weatherforecast', position: 'top_right', header: 'Weather Forecast', config: { location: 'false', locationID: 'xxx', appid: 'xxx', }, classes: 'normal' }, //Screencast { module: 'MMM-Screencast', position: 'bottom_right', config: { position: 'center', height: 600, width: 800, castName: 'MagicMirror', }, classes: 'normal' }, //PLex Slideshow { module: 'MMM-PlexSlideshow', classes: 'Digital-Pictureframe', position: 'fullscreen_above', config: { plex: { hostname: '192.168.1.123', port: 32400, username: 'xxx@xxx.com', password: 'password', }, transitionImages: true, }, classes: 'slideshow' }, //MM Remote Control { module: 'MMM-Remote-Control', header: '', config: { customCommand: {}, customMenu: 'custom_menu.json', showModuleApiMenu: true, apiKey: '' } }, //News Headlines { module: 'newsfeed', position: 'top_bar', header: '', config: { feeds: [ { title: 'BBC News', url: 'http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml' } ], startTags: [], endTags: [], prohibitedWords: [] }, classes: 'normal' }, { module: 'MMM-GPIO-Notifications', config: { '4': { gpio_state: 1, gpio_debounce: 0, delay: 30000, notifications: [{ notification: 'SCREEN_ON', payload: { 'forced': false } }, {} ] } } }, { module: 'MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification', config: { delay: 60, hideInsteadShutoff: true, //do not shutoff the screen changeToProfile: "slideshow" //change to this profile instead of hiding the modules } }, { module: 'MMM-ViewNotifications', position: 'bottom_left', header: 'Notifications', config: { timeout: 0, format: '{time}: "{module}" sent "{notification}" with {payloadData}', // See below for configurable options includeModules: ["MMM-GPIO-Notifications", "MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification"] }, classes: 'normal' }, { //https://github.com/tosti007/MMM-ProfileSwitcher module: "MMM-ProfileSwitcher", config: { defaultClass: "normal", ignoreModules: [ "MMM-ModuleScheduler", "MMM-Remote-Control", "MMM-GPIO-Notifications", ], } }, ] }; /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/ if (typeof module !== 'undefined') { module.exports = config; }
