No difference.

I posted the startup section of the log file. You can see there are no error messages about missing modules. It seems you’re trying to suggest solutions to all the problems similar to this one that have been covered before. I appreciate that but I did research this problem before posting here.Have you updated your MM to V2.25 and tried to access the Remote-Control API? Does it work for you?
-
@rhbauman I don’t use this module, but if Karsten posts, then you listen. the
node_fetch library was removed in this release. -
@sdetweil
And if I post, please read it and think about what you are about to post before adding noise to the discussion. I am not seeing any error messages about missing modules and I am not getting a black screen.Perhaps you could load Remote-Control and let me know if you can duplicate my problem?
-

and came up on my phone
my module config
{ module: 'MMM-Remote-Control', // uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror // position: 'bottom_left', // you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself config: { customCommand: {}, // Optional, See "Using Custom Commands" below showModuleApiMenu: true, // Optional, Enable the Module Controls menu secureEndpoints: true, // Optional, See API/README.md // uncomment any of the lines below if you're gonna use it // customMenu: "custom_menu.json", // Optional, See "Custom Menu Items" below apiKey: "12345", // Optional, See API/README.md for details // classes: {} // Optional, See "Custom Classes" below } },my top line mm config
let config = { address: "0.0.0.0", // Address to listen on, can be: // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface // - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface // Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost" port: 8090, basePath: "/", // The URL path where MagicMirror² is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy // you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a / ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses -
Thanks! I’ll try using an apikey. That’s a difference between your configuration and mine.
-
@rhbauman it was the same before apiKey was uncommented…
I was just trying to use a function that required a key… as well as the others.
-
Yeah, secureEndpoints made no difference for me. What’s your MM host, a Raspberry Pi? If so, are you running bullseye? And you’re running MM V2.25, right?
-
@rhbauman i installed on a pi3, pi4 and my linux desktop, all on node 18 or 20 all with the same module config (cut and paste)
buster and bullseye, all MM 2.25
and all worked.
-
Excellent. Then I’ve got some problem in my Pi environment. Thanks for the info and taking the time to try to duplicate the issue.
-
@rhbauman let us know how it works out…
-
@sdetweil
OK. This masked the root problem:pm2 logs mm --lines 100doesn’t show the same information asnpm run start.

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm install node-fetch added 6 packages in 17sAnd which 6 packages got installed? Who knows. At any rate, Remote-Control API’s are now working again for me. Looking at the MM changelog again I see in the Updates section “Replace node-fetch with internal fetch (#2649) and remove digest-fetch.” To me that seems to be a transparent change that should break anything.
And a question for you, Sam. When you installed MMM-Remote-Control in V2.25, did you have to run
npm install node-fetch? If not, why not? -
@rhbauman on the PM2 output masking the problem there are two output areas The error output and the output output You’re just showing the output output.
I did not have to install node fetch in the remote control module. on any platform. I do not know why, but these were new installs not upgrades

the missing

@karsten13 that will do it. he is upgrading already installed and I installed new with the fix
