MMM-EasyBack no autostart Video

Ah I see! It works THANK YOU!
Must be because of the pre-made image I installed MagicMirror with.

Here is the link:

http://emmanuelcontreras.com/how-to/how-to-create-a-magic-mirror-2-with-pi-zero-w/

Here is the fix:

I edited the file chromium_start.sh found here:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls
chromium_start.sh  MagicMirror  mmstart.sh  node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l  package-lock.json

and added

--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required

Example:

  GNU nano 3.2                          chromium_start.sh                                                                         

#!/bin/sh
unclutter &
xset -dpms # disable DPMS (Energy Star) features.
xset s off # disable screen saver
xset s noblank # don’t blank the video device
matchbox-window-manager &
#midori -e Fullscreen -a http://localhost:8080
chromium-browser --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --incognito --kiosk http://localhost:8080/

@Darkmx-6 cool!.. great feedback, thanks we missed that this was a pi0, and that you were running split mode…

@sdetweil said in MMM-EasyBack no autostart Video:

what is split mode? If I am I didn’t mean to, I have it directly connected to a TV that I am using as a Bulletin board.

@Darkmx-6 there are two ways to run Magic Mirror

all in one(all in one application) , uses electron, npm start.
we’ve solved the pi 0 problem… my installer handles it

split mode (two applications)
start serverOnly
then view with some other browser (chrome, firefox, ie, …) either locally or from another machine/phone…
