I guess the screenshots did not work. How do I send a screenshot?
click the button above the editor that looks like the sun over the mountain, with top right corner folded over
-
-
@fsne04 open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, select the tab labeled ‘console’ and scroll up…
u can also filter messages by module, by placing a unique part of the module name (cast) in the filter field

@sdetweil Hi Sam,
Thank you for the response, but I am not sure what you are asking me to do. Ctl + Shift+i on the Pi4 or on my Mac (where I am writing this)? Also, I don’t know what palancing is, or the last 4 words of your post. Sorry…
Actually, just figured out the last 4… in the filter field (duh)… but which filter field?
Oh and I tried Ctl Shift i on both Pi and Mac, neither one did something. Again sorry about the ignorance… -
@fsne04 pi of course, where MM is, all keys at the same time
and the ‘filter’ field is the field labeled ‘filter’ in the debug screen
-
you should open a different topic as this one is about installing modules
-
@sdetweil
This is my first time in a forum like this and I don’t actually know how to start a new topic…
I tried ctl+shft+i on the Raspbian desktop, in the MM config file, in the File Manager and in Chromium, all without any response. I can’t get to the place you have in your screenshot. -
@fsne04 mm screen currently selected on the pi monitor, ctrl-shift-i (lower case I, not L)

click the button that says ‘new topic’

@sdetweil
Yeah, got there. so the Elements window is open now -
@fsne04 click the tab labeled ‘console’…
-
@sdetweil
Ok, in Console. There is an “Electron” Security Warning in yellow about using insecure protocols, could that be it? -
@fsne04 ignore the warning. put ‘cast’ in the filter field (no quotes)
the error may not be in the browser side of the module, but this is how you find out…otherwise, u need to look in the console where u started MM, either npm start, or if using pm2, then pm2 logs --lines=??? where ??? is a number, default 15

Found something on the bottom:
an error with my positioning config. Is not possible to have 2 modules on the same position? I have the image app on fullscreen_bottom also -
@fsne04 ok, there u go!..

sorry, don’t know anything about the module itself… so , not sure what that means

@sdetweil
No worries, at least I know how to find errors now, Thanks! I guess I also have an issue with the weathermap setup, according to the error message below the screencast one. -
@fsne04 weather u need to sign up and get an api token just for you…
-
@sdetweil
I did, maybe I did not copy it correctly. I will check.
So how do I start a new topic/question and get nice/helpful people like you to answer? I have a few questions on the Remote Control module configuration also. -
