      @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, …

        @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?

          @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

            @sdetweil So you mean?
            mmm-4.PNG

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

            the IntelNuc is powerful enough, right?

              @drx1984 yes, set ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1

              powerful enough? I do not know…
              drawing lots of things on the screen takes lots of power. the screen is very slow compared to the processor…

              I don’t run either of those module.

                @sdetweil yes certainly more than a Raspi 4 or 5.
                then are the script and path correct?
                I don’t notice any difference and it still stutters.

                  @drx1984 yes, looks OK.

                  I would try to run one module at a time

                  to disable the other, add

                  disabled: true,
                  

                  after the module: line
                  so you don’t have to redo config.js

                  we don’t officially support Windows, so I don’t know if you have to do something else to enable gpu for electron.

                  you could try running under edge, at

                  http://localhost:8080

                    @sdetweil yes, I have already tried the exact same configuration under Linux. > unfortunately it stutters there too.
                    That’s why I thought I’d try it on Windows level.
                    I will probably install Ubuntu on the Intelnuc again >because Windwos is not official, as you say.

                    But I don’t think it will stutter anymore, unfortunately.

                      @drx1984 well, you tried before enabling the GPU on linux so I still think the best approach is to test with one module at a time… globe alone, rain alone. see what they do

                      then enable the other…
