        Hello,

        Can you please explian how and where to create the sonos.sh file?
        And how to then add the rest into that file?

        I’m having trouble understanding what you mean by placing a script in ~ directory…
        And the next part cd~sonos.sh file contents:

        Thanks

        create another pm2 script named sonos.sh in ~ directory
        cd ~
        sonos.sh file contents:
        cd ~/node-sonos-http-api
        DISPLAY=:0 npm start
        
        pm2 start sonos.sh
        pm2 start mm
        pm2 save

          pm2 start mm
          pm2 save
          

          Okay, so I opened up my directory… created a new file in /home/pi and named it sonos.sh… going by the jumbled up way things have been written in the example above, I have tried every combination to try and make sense of what it is saying to type into terminal

          cd ~ sonos.sh file contents
          sonos.sh

          I will no doubt be going around in circles here trying to decypher the instructions, so can I ask anyone to please decypher this for me and tell me what and where to enter these? do I manually input them into the sonos.sh file? do I get terminal to enter them?
          I a
          l already set up PM2 over a year ago to autostart MM, and sure it was never as hard as this?

          this is what I get when trying

          pi@raspi:~ $ cd ~sonos.sh
          bash: cd: ~sonos.sh: No such file or directory

            Appreciate I have posted this twice in 2 seperate posts - but this one is FAO the Developer in his original post of 1 year ago, and to the poster who replied with his fix.

            The other post goes to anyone here who can help me with making and executing a script, going by the example given for this module.

              When I play TV sound on my Beam it will show up in Magic Mirror even if that it seems to be that is should hide

                              // if Sonos Playbar is in TV mode, no title is provided and therefore the room should not be displayed
                              var isEmpty = (artist && artist.trim().length) == 0
                                      && (track && track.trim().length) == 0
                                      && (cover && cover.trim().length) == 0;

                I now have forked this and correct the problem and also done some small changes. Added radio station name when playing Radio. Showing artist and track when playing radio.

                  Looks like I am missing settings.json under /home/pi/node-sonos-http-api. I went to magicmirrors IP address:5005/zones and saw the output from my sonos one time , but then on reboot I can no longer get the output to show up by visiting the above specified URL . I think it may be a result of this missing settings.json file.

                      @cohron OK , Im getting somewhere. When I visit http://192.168.1.5:5005/zones after installing sonos-http-api and then doing npm install --production and then npm start. I do see a webpage of output information from my sonos device.

                      However, when I run my sonos.sh file after creating it like this

                      create another pm2 script named sonos.sh in ~ directory
                      cd ~
                      sonos.sh file contents:
                      cd ~/node-sonos-http-api
                      DISPLAY=:0 npm start

                      pm2 start sonos.sh
                      pm2 start mm
                      pm2 save

                      It does start sonos as noted here

                      │ id │ name │ mode │ ↺ │ status │ cpu │ memory │
                      ├────┼────────────────────┼──────────┼──────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────┤
                      │ 0 │ MagicMirror │ fork │ 2 │ stopped │ 0% │ 0b │
                      │ 1 │ sonos │ fork │ 212 │ online │ 0% │ 2.4mb │

                      Then if I visit the same address (http://192.168.1.5:5005/zones) to see if there is still output . There is not!

                      I realize that the Magic Mirror is not started as I stopped it as I just wanted to see if there was still output on http://192.168.1.5:5005/zones

                      Sonos is playing when I visit http://192.168.1.5:5005/zones so there should be data being output.

                        I finally solved this. Turned out I left out the tilde (~) in front of the /node-sonos-http-api within the sonos.sh file. So in essence the directory was never switched to execute the npm start command. So even though my PM2 status of running processes showed Sonos as a running process it was not providing the output data so that the module could display it
