[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil as a programmer in college right now, i relate lmao any leads or ideas about it?

[sdetweil]

@jmartin1009 if you give it NO parms, it dumps them out…

SO, pocketsphinx_continuous 2>somefile

to get the list of possible parms

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil also, in the node_modules/pocketsphinx_continuous/index.js

show me this

 var pc = spawn('pocketsphinx_continuous', [
    '-adcdev',
    'plughw:' + this.microphone,
    '-inmic',
    'yes',
    '-lm',
    'modules/MMM-voice/' + this.setId + '.lm',
    '-dict',
    'modules/MMM-voice/' + this.setId + '.dic'

also check for the two files in the mmm-voice folder MMM-voice.lm and MMM-voice.dic

@sdetweil this is the entire index file, didn’t see that anywhere

also, both of those files are there.

@jmartin1009 said in MM won't run, blank screen with cursor showing after updating:
from your response

> this._psc = spawn('pocketsphinx_continuous', [

so, only the path to the files can be wrong…

so, change them to (assume u are running as user pi)

 this._psc = spawn('pocketsphinx_continuous', [
       '-adcdev',
       mic,
       '-inmic',
       'yes',
       '-lm',
       `/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/${this.setId}/${this.setId}.lm`,
       '-dict',
       `/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/${this.setId}/${this.setId}.dic`
     ]); 

[sdetweil]

@jmartin1009 you have the file with my fixes in it… btw

[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil which file? and i’ll go change those right now

[sdetweil]

@jmartin1009

~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-voice/node_modules/pocketsphinx_continuous/index.js

same file u just showed me

[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil oh yeah, im going to change the file paths in it right now in the one you sent last.
