@yuvismahi2 it’s open source, use rpiplay to find the window for mm or add a new mm module to enable an API, and call it to minimize mm and restore it when rpiplay stops mirroring

@cowboysdude right… but as the calendar broadcasts its events, a minor addition to a countdown module to use that info could be the ticket

@rs i also have a module that shows a qr code and lets users upload pics from their phone (to the images location)…

see
https://github.com/sdetweil/uploadPics

@nneuland yeh, mine is listed in the ‘alternative’ section below manual

note that I have a script to disable screensaver down at the bottom too

@rs I use this one,

https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-ImagesPhotos

modified from original

I don’t like my photos stretched etc…

also has color or blur fill around pic

uses only ONE source, ‘uploads’ folder in the module folder… I just symlink to another (my mounted server share) using the ln command

@nneuland there is screen blanking… in the pi preferences.

how did u install MM? if you used mys script it would have asked if u wanted to disable screen saver

see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

@rs hm… the enoent means file not found

and it doesn’t use the full path… weird…

I don’t use that module myself.

@rs for dropbox u need the shared link ( as no user is logged on to dropbox) and u need dl=1 (instead of 0) to enable direct download

@rmetellus79 the only one that works that I am aware of is MMM-Awesome-Alexa, but there is not much MagicMirror control. so not very interactive

it’s install is tricky. I couldn’t get it right after a few tries. too many commands.

so I copied the commands to a script that seems to work

@rmetellus79 haven’t seen anyone successful w this module.

it’s been 3 yrs since last updated.
