@schlachtkreuzer6 I have no idea. Is there anything in the logs?
-
Is there ever thought about an android application ?

With the new update, I have noticed that I get an error message when I restart Magic Mirror, but it still restarts anyway. I remember other people experiencing that too, so I’ll just ignore it. Why does it happen, though?
-
Great app !
What could be improved: the changelog would be interesting if i choose and perform an update.
-
It would also be interesting to be able to remotely run commands on the mirror without having to take out a mouse and keyboard… Just giving ideas.:smiley:
-
@fox I like the idea. Added it to my list.
@AAPS Don’t know the reason for the “false” error messages, yet. Running commands would be nice, however without proper authentication, guests can just do whatever they want on your Raspberry and therefore potentially on your entire network. At the moment the stuff they can do is much more limited.
-
@Jopyth You’re completely right! I didn’t even think of anybody else trying to mess with it.
-
Let me start by saying “sorry”. My brain is all over the place right now, but I had a question.
I want to make a few mirrors for friends and family and use your module to make things simpler for them since they basically only now how to facebook and snapchat on their phones.
Would it be possible to set up a simple service in raspbian that would wait for an app to request an IP from the pi. Then the pi would broadcast its IP. The app would take the IP and automagically input it into the address bar and connect to the pi so that they could shutdown the pi properly from your module?
I really couldn’t code my way out of a paper bag, but I know there are websites that can create simple apps(I’m about too look at appmakr after I send this).
-
@ottobot This is why I initially made my module display the URL on the mirror (if the module is visible). No need for an app here. The functionality itself could be refined, since it apparently does not work 100% of the time.
-
@Jopyth Yeah, I figure I’ll walk them through everything over the phone once they get them. I’ll just have them make a bookmark of the page. I guess if their IP changes they’ll call me telling me the page stopped working.
