Just thinking aloud here about this…
Portable HD… with some kind of powered switch/usb hub… smart socket/inline switch that can be voice activated by either the mirror itself through voice module, or by Alexa/Google Home to Turn on/off HD.
Leave HD in place behind mirror to save having a USB extention lead dangling to insert/unplug USB Stick.
Share that HD on the Pi, so you can add/change your MP3’s from another Source on your network?

Good idea… I like the thought process. Personally I like to avoid dependence on any external switch/equipment simply because I cant test it as I am making these modules on office windows PC (:p). Also the fact I am not a seasonal programmer, so I have certain limitations.
However, I am reading about how to connect with the PI through Bluetooth and steam music on the go from the cellphone. Help me if you can!
Thanks.

@asimhsidd first of all thank you for your module it is really what i need for my mirror but i got a problem when i try to run it, in my terminal i have this
WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: Error: Cannot find module ‘usb’
so if you or another can help me i will be thankful
-
@Artech I have the same problem - while running npm install for dependencies I got the errors shown in screenshot - I suspect the install package needs updating.
-
@patrickirvin so what will you do? for me this module is important but i put it in stand by first i’ll look on it after
-
@patrickirvin the file needed is built locally on your machine…
but the stuff needed for the build is missing… do
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev sudo apt-get install libudev-devthen close the terminal window, re-open
and then do the npm install again -
This post is deleted! -
@sdetweil itried t but what i got in my terminal when i use npm start is the same errors
-
@Artech ok, do this
cd ~ find /usr 2>/dev/null | grep libudev\.hmine is in
/usr/include/libudev.hafter the two commands above
