electron.js HELP
-
Hello everyone, I did some ******* in js / electron.js, I wanted to copy lines, it didn’t work and I deleted but I did bullshit my MM doesn’t start anymore … I will give you a copy of the electron file, if you can help me please
“use strict”;const electron = require(“electron”);
const core = require(__dirname + “/app.js”);
// Config
var config = process.env.config ? JSON.parse(process.env.config) : {};
// Module to control application life.
const app = electron.app;
// Module to create native browser window.
const BrowserWindow = electron.BrowserWindow;// Keep a global reference of the window object, if you don’t, the window will
// be closed automatically when the JavaScript object is garbage collected.function createWindow() {
app.commandLine.appendSwitch(“autoplay-policy”, “no-user-gesture-required”);
var electronOptionsDefaults = {
width: 800,
height: 600,
x: 0,
y: 0,
darkTheme: true,
webPreferences: {
nodeIntegration: false,
zoomFactor: config.zoom
},
backgroundColor: “#000000”
}
};// DEPRECATED: "kioskmode" backwards compatibility, to be removed // settings these options directly instead provides cleaner interface if (config.kioskmode) { electronOptionsDefaults.kiosk = true; } else { electronOptionsDefaults.fullscreen = true; electronOptionsDefaults.autoHideMenuBar = true; } var electronOptions = Object.assign({}, electronOptionsDefaults, config.electronOptions); // Create the browser window. mainWindow = new BrowserWindow(electronOptions); // and load the index.html of the app. // If config.address is not defined or is an empty string (listening on all interfaces), connect to localhost var address = (config.address === void 0) | (config.address === "") ? (config.address = "localhost") : config.address; mainWindow.loadURL(`http://${address}:${config.port}`); // Open the DevTools if run with "npm start dev" if (process.argv.includes("dev")) { mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools(); } // Set responders for window events. mainWindow.on("closed", function() { mainWindow = null; }); if (config.kioskmode) { mainWindow.on("blur", function() { mainWindow.focus(); }); mainWindow.on("leave-full-screen", function() { mainWindow.setFullScreen(true); }); mainWindow.on("resize", function() { setTimeout(function() { mainWindow.reload(); }, 1000); }); }}
// This method will be called when Electron has finished
// initialization and is ready to create browser windows.
app.on(“ready”, function() {
console.log(“Launching application.”);
createWindow();
});// Quit when all windows are closed.
app.on(“window-all-closed”, function() {
createWindow();
});app.on(“activate”, function() {
// On OS X it’s common to re-create a window in the app when the
// dock icon is clicked and there are no other windows open.
if (mainWindow === null) {
createWindow();
}
});/* This method will be called when SIGINT is received and will call
- each node_helper’s stop function if it exists. Added to fix #1056
- Note: this is only used if running Electron. Otherwise
- core.stop() is called by process.on(“SIGINT”… in
app.js
*/
app.on(“before-quit”, (event) => {
console.log(“Shutting down server…”);
event.preventDefault();
setTimeout(() => { process.exit(0); }, 3000); // Force-quit after 3 seconds.
core.stop();
process.exit(0);
});
// Start the core application if server is run on localhost
// This starts all node helpers and starts the webserver.
if ([“localhost”, “127.0.0.1”, “::1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, undefined].indexOf(config.address) > -1) {
core.start(function© {
config = c;

@Manu85 u can get the original back.
erase electron.js or rename it
Then
cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout js/electron.js -
@sdetweil thank you very much, it restarted !!!
I was trying to fix an error on the module of @ mykle1 which recommended the following thing:},
Electron may hinder the use of autoplay. Known issue.
This will fix it
Edit MagicMirror/js/electron.js
Add the line shown below
let mainWindow;function createWindow() {
app.commandLine.appendSwitch(‘autoplay-policy’, ‘no-user-gesture-required’); //< -------- added
Save and restart MagicMirror -
@Manu85 u don’t need that. We added it a couple releases ago
-
@sdetweil ok, the module crashes from time to time and I have a message telling me that I have an update problem (something like that) and I have a photo of the horizon with a sunset
-
@Manu85 could you be a little more specific on the error… if using pm2 to start, show the part in the output from
pm2 logs --lines=100the line
app.commandLine.appendSwitch(‘autoplay-policy’, ‘no-user-gesture-required’);only applies to video or audio files
-
@sdetweil you know me well :-)
-
@sdetweil
I don’t see this line!app.commandLine.appendSwitch(‘autoplay-policy’, ‘no-user-gesture-required’);
-
@Manu85 ver 2.11 direct from github
function createWindow() { app.commandLine.appendSwitch("autoplay-policy", "no-user-gesture-required");I added that in ver 2.8 last year

@sdetweil Thank you for your answer
