      1. If I find a good proposal on ebay I can buy you one . After all you are doing for the community if you like it’s a minimum. Should I look for France as delivery? It will work just with a Raspberry 4 however (below are not powerful enough). I really would like to be able to program in JS . I am dreaming of a play plugin like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLOB-T1mgdY . My son is waiting for it since he saw the video :-D. Ok I confess: I would like too
      2. Do you refer to the chromium top? I am testing so I do launch it not in full screen (But I tried in full screen too)

        Small feedback after installation and use:

        it works very well.

        • I find it more fluid than the previous version. when invoked, it responds almost instantly. Before I used MMM-Hotword. I went on the integrated snowboy. Perhaps the speed of response comes from there.

        • I have multi task. I can play a youtube clip on the mirror and at the same time ask the assistant for a home automation or other command. Before that did not work.

        • I go through the Sony PS3 eye for the listening part. I did not have a problem with this one after the update.

        In short, that happiness.

        The work you have done is truly superb. Congratulations to you all.

          I have optimized a maximum
          my personal npm library help to do this, and deleted some bad code and recode new.

          And … only few file in the git hub repo ! (my new install method)

          for a final result less RAM used and less CPU time (in idle: CPU 4% // approx 300 MB Ram)

            @sdmydbr9 this happened to me too. It’s just that the error that is happening has a side effect the deletion of the index file. repull it.
            After fixing the main problem this will not happen anymore

              Hi One question: were you successful with the sound wizard setup?
              Could you share the asoundrc file (hidden file located in your home directory)?
              I agree the plugin is just perfect (had it working but then I broke something)

                to regenerate it:

                go to desktop of the RPI

                • Right click in the sound icon
                  -> select your prefered Output device
                  -> select your prefered Input device

                Maybe reboot is needed after this (for MagicMirror app)

                  Tips For all

                  Don’t Forget to activate hardware acceleration of rpi in raspi-config (OPEN GL)
                  needed for YT video / cast / weblinks in fullscreen and for have more reactive mirror

                    @Bugsounet So I have "Output Device Settings " item greyed out in desktop sound menu.
                    entries:

                    • Analog
                    • HDMI
                    • USB Kinect Audio
                    • Output Audio Device Settings : Greyed out

                    Edit:
                    Before sending Firmware to Kinect after boot (to enable it) the Ouput Device Settings Option is NOT there (also no Kinect Audio available)
                    After sending it both Kinect and Output Deive Settings Appear

                    trying to play the response using cvlc works but there is a PulseAudio error:

                    VLC media player 3.0.8 Vetinari (revision 3.0.8-0-gf350b6b5a7)
                    [01cb1d60] vlcpulse audio output error: PulseAudio server connection failure: Connection refused
                    [01cd0fc8] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
                    
                    

                    Now rebooting and trying the plugin without uploading kinect audio firmware.

                    By the way the Pulseaudio refuse seems to me consistent with the failed audio for the plugin

                    DOH! I cannot try the plugin without the kinect audio firmware pushed (no other mic is attacched)

                      @dvbit said in mmm assistant mk2:

                      HDMI

                      One little Step ahead.
                      Disabling Audio Output gives no audio feedback but then the mirrorr goes back into waiting state.
                      So it get’s stuck in “Spinning State” because the audio fails.
                      Maybe it’s obvious but I think it is interesting.

                      and this from the log is also useful:

                      [2020-06-01 19:27:11.533] [LOG]    [SNOWBOY] Retry restarting...
                      [2020-06-01 19:27:13.588] [LOG]    [LPCM16] WARN: arecord: main:828: audio open error: Device or resource busy
                      
                      [2020-06-01 19:27:13.589] [LOG]    [SNOWBOY] Retry restarting...
                      
                      

                      So my audio ouput device is "owned " by some other process I guess

                      aplay -l gives:
