      You can’t get the Pi to start up or you want to delay the start up? This is the guide for setting up your Pi and installing MM

        I want to delay start up. Because as it sits right now the tv doesnt turn on as fast so the pi boots before i can turn the tv on and i get no picture so id like to make the pi delay 5-10 seconds. So i have time to turn the tv on

            Its all plugged in to an fancy three way extension cord so when i plug in the “mirrors” cord it powers the tv and pi.

            But the pi starts to run right away while the tv i have to push the button ive seen people that delay them and ive seen the code but i dont know how to get to where to put it or what commands to run.

                Did you utilize pm2 as part of your setup? Possibly you could use;

                pm2 start mm --start-delay {time in milliseconds}
                

                *disclaimer, I haven’t tested this.
