      @sdetweil thanks for xxx
      What is your recommendation? Delete maps and new install?
      Can you explain why I see the MM in the terminal correct, if I stop all and start npm? Is ist possible to delete PM2?

        @chris1971 delete pm2, sure, see the

        pm2 --help

        output

        no idea why u are having trouble

        try this

        instead of npm start
        do
        npm run server
        then access from the remote and see what happens

          npm run server - no success

          I deleted pm2 - then I was able to start MM from the console without black screen with npm start. But then MM didn’t start on the mirror.

          Maybe I will setup a new system tomorrow … thanks for your input until now - cheers

            @chris1971 hm… are you trying to display mm on multiple monitors at once?

            if so

            this is built in function

            edit the config.js to allow access from outside the mm machine

            address:'0.0.0.0'
            ipWhitelist:[],
            

            then on the mm machine, in a terminal window, do

            ip addr
            

            and remember that value
            then

            npm start
            

            then on your other machine, use a browser
            (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Midori, Safari)

            and open http://ip_address_from_above:8080

              Short summary: I installed MM new with your script - I agreed to the installation of pm2 and disable screensaver. To get a connection to my WIN 10 via remote desktop computer I need to install sudo apt-get install xrdp. Without this installation I’m not able to start the remote desktop connetcion - Only via putty.
              After the installation I am not able to run npm start without getting a black screen. I have to pm2 stop all - then npm start again and I see the MM screen on my computer to update the modules, config, etc.
              This is what we have seen before:

              [31.03.2023 14:13.31.869] [LOG] Starting server on port 8080 …

              address: ‘0.0.0.0’,

              port: 8080

              }

              With this error MM is running on the Mirror screen without problems.

              When I install MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic I get following message:

                @chris1971 we have two different problems going on.

                1. when u start MagicMirror, it will display on the monitor attached to the system. NOT any remote console.
                  it IS a mirror on the wall after all

                IF you want to show the mirror screen on a remote system, phone, laptop, tablet, desktop
                then you use a browser on that other device to show the mm screen from it’s server on the mirror system.

                you do not start another running copy of MagicMirror . you do not need rdp to do this.
                just a browser.

                IF you want to display MagicMirror over your rdp session, then you would open a browser thru the rdp session and use the url
                http://localhost:8080
                as rdp makes it like you are at the local desktop

                I’ll look at the Googlemapstraffic problem

                  @sdetweil many thanks - but I have to install/ modify the Mirror from my computer. That’s the reason why I would like to connect via WIFI and get easy access to the modules/ config, etc.
                  With Putty I only have access to the terminal - not to the PI Explorer…

                  Your recommendation is not to install sudo apt-get install xrdp - it seems that this install mekes the trouble with 2 systems…

                    @chris1971 yes, rdp is fine to access the console.

                    but from the remote system u just use a browser to see the mm contents

                    same as if you used putty to edit the config.js

                    try it. that is the whole point of pm2, start the mirror/web server without user intervention

                    as u have removed pm2, use putty to logon and npm start. , then disconnect putty

                    now use your browser on windows to access the mm web server BEFORE STARTING rdp, using the same IP address as you used for putty
                    and port 8080 (the port number in mm config.js)

                    if u make a change and restart mm. then hit refresh on the browser page

                      @sdetweil Thanks for your support - a solution for the maps issue would be really nice!!!

                      The 1st topic with the remote desktop is my minor challenge

                        @chris1971 so looking at MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic , it uses very old stuff (5 years) in its dev dependencies section of package.json

                        sadly there is no way to get rid of the error messages without a tiny change

                        when u install a module using npm you can ‘omit’ installing the development stuff… BUT, it STILL goes thru all the WORK to check them out (I don’t know why this is stupid)

                        anyhow, the ONLY fix is to trick the installer to not FIND any dev dependencies…

                        edit package.json

                        and change this

                        "devDependencies": {
                        

                        to this

                        "devDependencies1": {
                        

                        notice I added the ‘1’ at the end… when npm install runs it will look for “devDependencies”
                        and not find it… and skip all the junk (You are not going to be developing on the module anyhow…so no loss and the stuff eliminated is formatting tools anyhow)

                        now, that said,

                        I installed the module
                        copied the default config entry from the readme
                        fixed the text typo (missing trailing comma)
                        added my apikey from google dev console and

                        Screenshot at 2023-04-01 08-58-00.png

                        worked like a champ…

                        i did this on two separate systems
                        my linux desktop
                        and a pi4 w 7in screen
