MagicMirror stutters and doesn't run smoothly

[drx1984]

@sdetweil OK, thanks, I’ll test it.
Question: Is it possible to switch on exactly the same parameters for the GPU with MagicMirror in Windows?
export ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1 ?

[sdetweil]

@drx1984 yes, you just don’t use the ‘export’ keyword on Windows

we don’t supply a .cmd file for Windows, and I don’t provide the install script or install pm2.

but its all the same functionally…

[drx1984]

@sdetweil aha ok then to line 4:
ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1

[sdetweil]

@drx1984 if you are running under windows native… you don’t need to run in lsr
if you ARE running under lsr, then u need the ‘export’

just open cmd.exe and follow instructions in doc…
have to manually install nodejs on windows and git.

then a windows mm.cmd file

@echo off
cd %home%\MagicMirror
ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1
npm start 

then execute

%home%\mm.cmd

@sdetweil what do you mean by LSR? what does that mean?
I have now done this:
Of course, with “npm run server” it runs in the browser.
but how do I do it natively on the computer itself? When I enter the command “npm run start” there is an error in the cmd, something with the display.
I wonder if I did everything correctly, as you described it.

[sdetweil]

@drx1984 DISPLAY… you didn’t follow all the instructions …

see https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html#other-operating-systems

LSR (you can install the linux system runtime under windows too) …

@drx1984 said in MagicMirror stutters and doesn't run smoothly:

Of course, with “npm run server” it runs in the browser.
but how do I do it natively on the computer itself?

i don’t understand your question…

MM is a browser app.
it runs in Electron, (default), Chromium, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Midori, …

[drx1984]

@sdetweil oh yes sry, I saw it, ok now I have adapted the Package.jason and it is now running.

Did I do that correctly with the mm.cmd file so that the GPU is active? It still stutters or the clock module is also lagging behind :-(

Do you speak German too?

[sdetweil]

@drx1984 I don’t speak German, but can use translators to read/reply.

I mislead you, for Windows to set the env variable you have to use set

set ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1

[drx1984]

@sdetweil So you mean?

…unbelievable does it require so much power? of the stottort anyway.

the IntelNuc is powerful enough, right?
