    Potentially stupid question here, apologies in advance if I’ve missed something obvious. I have the mirror and the face recognition working (Yay!) but when it’s running, on the left side of the screen it shows “MMM-Facial-Recognition” and module-10-mmm-facial-recognition underneath. I though about removing the position tag, but that’s there in the readme version so did not. How do I remove the text showing the running facial recognition module?
    Thanks!Zach

      @rvdgeer that sucks sorry about that. Recognition can be tricky sometimes :/

      @shashank check the trainingFile in your config, does it really exist at that location?

      Update: I see you figured it out, was a wrong location the problem? Just remove the position part is isn’t relevant anymore sorry :)

          yes , i copied the training file from //MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/facetrainer

          to // Path to your training xml
          trainingFile: ‘modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition/training.xml’,

            Hello, First of all thanks a lot for building this great module!

            I am trying to get it to work, I’ve installed the module and it looks like It doens’t start:

            Output when I start the NPM:

            `pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start
            
            magicmirror@2.0.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
            electron js/electron.js
            Loading config ...
            Loading module helpers ...
            Initializing new module helper ...
            Initializing new module helper ...
            All module helpers loaded.
            Starting server op port 8080 ...
            Server started ...
            Connecting socket for: camera
            camera helper started ...
            Connecting socket for: MMM-Facial-Recognition
            Staring module helper: MMM-Facial-Recognition
            Sockets connected & modules started ...
            Launching application.
            initializing nodemailer
            `
            It looks like its installed fine, because of the starting module helper: MMM-Facial-Recognition.
            But I am not getting the normal output like I see by other people:
            [MMM-Facial-Recognition] Facerecognition started...
            [MMM-Facial-Recognition] Loading training data...
            
            My Config.json file:
            `/* Magic Mirror Config Sample

            			interval: 2,
            			// Logout delay after last recognition so that a user does not get instantly logged out if he turns away from the mirror for a few seconds
            			logoutDelay: 15,
            			// Array with usernames (copy and paste from training script)
            			users: ['Tom'],
            			//Module set used for strangers and if no user is detected
            			defaultClass: "default",
            			//Set of modules which should be shown for every user
            			everyoneClass: "everyone"
                                    }
            				},
            
            	]
            };
            
            /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
            if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}
            

            Is there anything I’m doing wrong ? :D

              @paviro thanks creating such a cool module!
              I have followed the instructions to capture the training images and have successfully created a training.xml file :)

              When I add the MMM-Facial-Recognition module to my Magic Mirror config.js file I get “WARNING! Could not validate config file. Please correct syntax errors. Starting with default configuration” in the terminal and the Magic Mirror shows an error page saying config.js not found.

              My config.js is:

              var config = {
              	port: 8080,
              
              	language: 'en',
              	timeFormat: 12,
              	units: 'metric',
              
              	modules: [
              		
              //-------------------------------------------------
              		{
              			module: 'clock',
              			position: 'top_left'
              			classes: 'everyone'
              		},
              //-------------------------------------------------		
              		{
              			module: 'compliments',
              			position: 'lower_third'
              			classes: 'andy'
              		},
              //-------------------------------------------------		
              		{
              			module: 'MMM-Facial-Recognition',
              			config: {
              				recognitionAlgorithm: 1,		
              				lbphThreshold: 50,			
              				fisherThreshold: 250,			
              				eigenThreshold: 3000,			
              				useUSBCam: false,			
              				trainingFile: '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition/training.xml',	
              				interval: 3,				
              				logoutDelay: 15,			
              				users: ['andy'],			
              				defaultClass: "default",		
              				everyoneClass: "everyone"		
              			}
              		},		
              //-------------------------------------------------
              	]
              
              };
              
              /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
              if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}
              

              If I comment out " classes: ‘everyone’ " and " classes: ‘andy’ " in the other modules the MagicMirror loads with no errors but blank black screen.

              Any ideas what’s causing this ?
              Thanks

                @awarrington It seems like you’ve missed the comma’s at the end of the line where the position is for the clock and compliments module here:

                		{
                			module: 'clock',
                			position: 'top_left', <--
                			classes: 'everyone'
                		},
