MMM-MagicMover

raymondjspigot

hi C-son thanks for your module, I’m just building and trying out my mirror and avoiding burn-in sounds like a great idea.

I’ve been slowly configuring my mirror and started using the module MMM-BackgroundSlideshow as well. I’m finding that if I enable MMM-MagicMover then my background images don’t show (I just get my Clock, Calendar modules etc. displaying on a black background). If I disable MMM-MagicMover then the background images from MMM-BackgroundSlideshow are displayed under my other modules ok like before.

Do you know if there’s a way to run both modules at the same time? I’ve experimented with changing the module position values in my config.js but it didn’t seem to help.

(My MMM-BackgroundSlideshow is in position: fullscreen_below incidentally)

thanks for any help anyway

@raymondjspigot thank you for your bug repport. I will try to find a solution for this.

Installed new version today, and now the middle column of items are pushed way right. don’t seem like anything is moving around either.

Anything I can do to fix it, or should I wait?

C-son

@BKeyport hard to say since I have no idea what other modules you’re using. It’s also hard to anticipate what and how other modules available for the Magic Mirror will affect Magic Mover. :)

@C-son Apparently, updates you did between my post and my capturing screen shots fixed it. It’s now working normally after another git pull.

Thanks!

@BKeyport awesome, thanks for getting back to me!

A new version of MMM-MagicMover is now released. Now you can add regions that shouldn’t be included, by adding them to an array:

{
  module: "MMM-MagicMover",
  config: {
    updateInterval: 60 * 1000,
    ignoredRegions: [],
    maxMove: 20,
  }
}

Valid regions are: '.region.top.bar', '.region.upper.third', '.region.middle.center', '.region.lower.third' and '.region.bottom.bar'.

@c-son If I have a full screen background rotating from Bing or somewhere else, do you think that change is enough to prevent some burn in or would something like this still be helpful for clock, date and other things that maybe are always white and showing up.

Fairly new to MM and found this module which I think is great idea. I didnt know if this burn in was common?

Hi @mcaminiti, yes, I believe this module will help to prevent screen burn in if you still have static text or images visible on the screen.

Me neither. :) I just did this module to help those who might have this kind of issue. :)
