Up to date install process.

Thanks Sam.
I’m just finishing installing chromium. Let me see if it works. My version of Stretch is NOT the desktop version. I have a version of Buster however that is the desktop version. If this still fails after the chromium install, I’ll redo it with the Buster sdcard.
Will your install script also work with Midori browser?

@stampeder it MUST be desktop version… else u will run in serveronly mode and can access from another system

electron or chrome needs the graphical desktop environment to work

sdetweil

@stampeder the install script is bash… running is a different problem…

u will have to change the run-start.sh script to launch that browser

Sam. It finished and when I restarted PM2 the browser did not come up.
I’ll remove the stretch sd card and start over with the Buster desktop sd card. Then it should work.
This will take a while.
Thanks for all your help.

Sam. It took quite a while to get my usb stick programmed, updated and configured but my MagicMirror is up and running thanks to you. Excellent work on the script!!
Now it is off to customize it. What fun…

Thanks for all your help.
One quick question. I have security cameras that stream ffmpeg. Is there module that will display just one of these camera’s output?
Cheers.
Glenn.

@stampeder MMM-RTSPStream, MMM-iFrame

PURRRFECT!! Exactly what I am looking for. MagicMirror is just the wall display I have been searching for. It has come a long way from the original I looked at back in the day.
Thanks again.
Glenn.

Ahhh…got a little problem:
I’m configuring MMM-ip. I cloned the repository into modules without issue.
I put this into my config.js:

{
                        module: "MMM-ip",
                        position: "top_right",
                        config: {
                                fontsize: "5",
                                dimmed: "true",
                                showFamily: "IPv4",
                                showType: "both",
                                voice: "false",
                                startHidden: "false"
                        }
                },

It comes up, but it displays the title Network Interfaces
ETH0
IPv4: 10.10.10…(the correct interface)
MAC: b8:27…(and the rest)
in the middle of the screen.

It doesn’t seem to be controllable nor does it display as advertised.
Hope you can help me out.
Thanks.
Glenn.
Still haveing fun with it…
