@Mati_93 search the 3rd party modules (listed above in the top menu) , there are some for touch and swipe (which may require different sensor hardware) they would send the ‘next page’ notification like the button does

Dear @wuermchen - you’re welcome. Great that you’ve identified some additional issues and now have a working solution! Congratulations! Warm regards, Ralf

@smegbadger you would have to load the develop branch of MagicMirror, as we don’t distribute less than the full package… see this link https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/14327/testing-new-fixes-or-solving-current-problems-with-next-release-code

@RonR Thanks for the positive feedback. I found it amusing that you thanked Sam first, since he provides most of the support here — something for which, honestly, I often lack the time and patience… The problem itself seemed familiar to me; I just had to track down the corresponding issue.

@wyovino I find a very easy setup to be a server on an RPi3 A+ and the client in kiosk mode on an RPi Zero 2W. This also gives one the option of having multiple clients attached to one server. I’m an (old) engineer and a minimalist so I chose DietPi for my OS. This results in very little lag while easily maintaining them via ssh. Total power consumption at full load is 5.5W (3.2W + 2.3W) versus the 4.6W for the Model 3 B+, but incrementally you get power savings as you add more clients. Cost wise, this is also more effective if you have multiple clients. On the server side, I created scripts to install MM and eliminated the need for pm2 in favor of using services, as this save significantly on memory usage (RPi3 A+ only has 512MB of RAM). DietPi + bare services + dropbear + MM server take up only 194-206MB of RAM. Swap varies from 0-30MB. I do not have a lot of modules running. The basic Calendar, Weather, MMM-RAIN-MAP plus a module I create for to capture and display Ring camera snapshots (currently called MMM-RingSnapshot). On the client side, I created a script to perform the most basic installation which reduces all display resources to bare X and chromium. Total is 240-248MB running DietPi + chromium in kiosk mode with no windows manager. Swap varies from 0-120MB while running. I was thinking of posting the scripts on GitHub, but I’m not certain there is appetite for something that is non-standard for MM. YMMV

@TiLow awesome! As moderator here, I think my job is to help users make and keep their mirrors running. Watch for trouble and find ways to resolve it. Your clear description of the problem helped identify a good resolution. I didn’t do any of the work. Just connected the dots.

@KristjanESPERANTO I don’t run ext3 all the time, just to test. But this is such a core value. I think because of the ext modules color and symbol were added to the broadcast data Lots of features are turned on by default, week number, blah blah, and use css to turn them off. This seems simple to be default and hard for others to do ( witness wasted time here and another

@heath1066 awesome.

Your issue is that VLC on the Pi 4 renders video in a separate window by default, ignoring the MagicMirror module position. To fix it, set pixel dimensions instead of percentages and add localPlayerArgs: ‘–no-video-on-top --width=640 --height=360’ so VLC respects the module container. Example: position: "top_center", moduleWidth: 640, moduleHeight: 360, localPlayer: 'vlc', localPlayerArgs: '--no-video-on-top --width=640 --height=360'

@RonR said: http://192.168.1.41/observationscurrent?stationId=FOSHKplug1n&format=json&units=e&apiKey=MMM Hi! Sorry for the delay - I somehow missed your message here. Sorry! Your FOSHKplugin appears to be running on 192.168.1.122:8081 – so the apiBase in the MMM configuration must also be set accordingly: apiBase: 'http://192.168.1.122:8081/observations/', Beside that, pws and apiKey should remain unchanged in order to receive additional data from FOSHKplugin: pws: 'FOSHKplugin', apikey: 'MMM', The URL in apiBase must be entered with the correct case and the correct placement of the slashes ‘/’. Otherwise, the MMM plugin will not receive any data from FOSHKplugin and continuously says: “Loading”. Regards, Oliver

Thanks for sharing.

@Richard238 generally I recommend sticking with the one that comes w the nodejs version.

@Lmagenis ok, understood We changed npm start to use the Wayland compositor, instead of x11 because the pi os has that as default now If you used my install script and selected pm2, then my startup script (mm.sh) detects which compositor is running, and issues the appropriate start command

@Drunkenkun yes, calendarweek does need the config, it fetches the events itself too

@MarNog one thing about the ext3 family of modules. They get the events from the default calendar module. But the events are broadcast by url separately. Some will take longer than others. Ext3 doesn’t want to flash the screen every time it receives a block of events. It doesn’t know when the events will come. So, it has its own refreshInterval time (10 mins default), then it draws whatever it has, and then waits again But, you don’t want to wait 10 minutes for the first display , so it has a second timer waitFetch:5000, 5 second wait before drawing any events If the events arrive after 5 seconds, they dont get displayed til refreshInterval time. So, you can adjust those two to improve your viewing experience Note that longer waitFetch means more time after start before any events are displayed If you use pm2 to launch MagicMirror, it captures the log messages about startup and events being broadcast. You could examine those time stamps to determine how long each cal Might take, and use that as a guide to waitFetch time The longer waitFetch means no events are displayed after startup til waitFetch expires

MMM-Charms is a MagicMirror² module for displaying rotating affirmations, reminders, reflective prompts, and curated quote/dialogue packs from multiple named sets. It supports local JSON packs, simple text sets, manual switching between packs, tap/click cycling, and optional time-based pack switching. Current packs include: General Calm Confidence Family Gentle Reminders Hard Days Grounding Quotes Bollywood Video Game Quotes The idea behind MMM-Charms came with a desire to add quotes from Bollywood movies and video games :) . It then became an attempt to make the mirror feel a little more reflective and customizable. It can now be used for personal affirmations, family-oriented prompts, calmer household messaging, themed quote packs, reminders for timed chores or fun pop-culture rotations. I am curious to find out what packs users might come up with. It is rightly placed under ‘Entertainment’ on this forum. Please remember this is not a substitute for professional mental health, medical, therapeutic, or crisis support.

I am not and will never be a coder of any standard, and would never seek to replace those who are more experienced, committed and better at this… same as I can take photos, but may not be a professional photographer. Version 0.1.0 First public release Added support for multiple named packs Added manual switching between packs Added optional tap/click cycling Added optional time-based pack switching Added JSON pack support Included curated packs for General, Calm, Confidence, Family, Gentle Reminders, Hard Days, Grounding, Quotes, Bollywood, and Video Game Quotes

@iamktothek said: Thanks for the node-fetch advice @kristjanesperanto , Ill look to refactor in the near future @rmonkey What would that look like for you? Would you want to put the gamertags into the config to only select those particular profiles? I believe I could get that implemented I think you have the right idea. Say I have a hundred people in my XBL friends list, but maybe only 5 that I’d want the status on. “Ah, iamktothek is playing Power Wash Simulator, lemme jump on and join him.” Ideally, I could tell it to filter to those 5, and maybe even hide the module entirely if no one on the filter list is on. This is in the “Would Be Nice If Robot Monkey Had Everything Personalized To Him” category – there’s nothing wrong with the already great module you shared.

@Dentrass-0 Thx a lot! I love it. Finally a module to watch my Vinyl Collection!

@angeldeejay that looks great! I will test it and maybe use it instead of or together with my DevContainer https://github.com/HeikoGr/MMM-DevContainer

@sdetweil many thanks for your help once again sam!
