Magic mirror with 2 displays

[sdetweil]

@Ety60 i have played with all kinds of scripts that ‘should’ work, but don’t… all oldish 2-3 years

[Ety60]

@sdetweil thanks for your quick and very complete answer. But do I understand that it is not possible to run the software on 2 screens? Could it be possible to run a separate magic mirror on each screen?

[sdetweil]

@Ety60 yes, rename one MagicMirror folder to MagicMirror2 and install a second instance, and in the config.js of one use the
electronOptions:{x:1920}
to display beyond the 1st display

[Ety60]

@sdetweil I addded electronOptions: {x: 1920} to my config file and I didn’t get an error but it still only shows up on the first screen. Am I doing something wrong?

[sdetweil]

@Ety60 like this, inside the config structure

var config={
   electronOptions:{ x: 1920 },
   ...
    modules :[],
}

[Ety60]

Thanks for the quick respons
Yes, exact like that.

[sdetweil]

hm, this is mine, cut and paste, opens on second display

var config = {
  electronOptions: { x: 1920}, 

are you using docker or MagicMirrorOS

[Ety60]

I found the error, because I put the 2 screens on top of each other, not x but y = 1920.
But I have found that the magicmirror2 folder is listening for the config file of the magicmirror folder. How can I adjust this?

[sdetweil]

@Ety60 how did u start each mm?

[Ety60]

I have done npm start on both
