@MisterT u have to edit the image and rotate it

MisterT

@sdetweil if i turn on left right or inverted, when i start MM screen rotate on normal position

sdetweil

@MisterT makes no sense.

do
pm2 stop all
pm2 delete 0
pm2 save

then boot to rotated
pm2 start installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
should be vertical
then ctrl-m
pm2 save

then sudo reboot

@sdetweil thx for your support. i found the guilty module after 2 hours. it’s MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite. There is an hidden rotate parameter and the default parameter is normal rotate. that’s why when MM starts there was a rotate screen on normal position.

So for people with rotate problem when MM Starts and if you have MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite, add this parameter in your config.js:

rotation Direction of content rotation.

Possible values: ‘normal’, ‘left’, ‘right’ or ‘inverted’
Default value: ‘normal’

I don’t know about the Pi3, but on the Pi4 you just go to display settings and tell it to go vertical… easier than all this programming that I never got to work with my MM
