CX3 is definitely one of the most versatile modules, but getting the CSS right for those background images can be a bit of a rabbit hole! I’ve found that if the background image is too ‘busy,’ it completely kills the readability of the event symbols. I’ve actually been using https://solidbg.com/ to quickly strip the backgrounds off custom icons or logos before I host them for my mirror. It’s way faster than manually editing PNGs when you just want a clean, transparent symbol that doesn’t clash with the CX3 ‘glance’ view. Are you applying the background image to the .CX3 .event container specifically, or are you trying to do a full module background? Sometimes the z-index acts up depending on the position of other modules.

@Ray awesome!!!

@DarthWerner but I think you may have messed up MagicMirror Use my upgrade script with force instead of apply as the parm See https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

@JerryP Nice to see that everything works again. I did an update of the original version where you also can choose to use and iCal Calender. See https://github.com/htilburgs/MMM-MyGarbage for the complete explanation of the config options. I’m currently working on an update where you can choose how many garbage bins you like, the name and the color. But as with everything, it’s a hobby and I don’t have time every day, so slowly by slowly Goed om te horen dat alles weer werkt. Ik heb een update van de 1e originele versie gemaakt, waar je ook een iCal kalender kunt gebruiken. Zie https://github.com/htilburgs/MMM-MyGarbage voor de complete mogelijkheden van de configuratie opties. Ik ben momenteel bezig met een update, waarbij je zelf het aantal bakken, de naam en de kleuren kunt kiezen. Maar zoals met veel dingen, het blijft een hobby en ik heb helaas niet alle tijd van de wereld.

Excellent call, I’ve created an issue on the source.

@Sampleswow can you send me the ~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log Via email. The same userid as here at gmail

@BiaGen awesome! Glad it helped

@robertybob I missed the part about AI… I am old and do not understand AI crap, nor do I care to learn about it… So I am just going to remove the module and call it a day. Thanks so much for your super helpful words… @fischi87 Thank you for your help. This is beyond my current abilities… I made a 5 second mp4 file that plays in vlc just fine but will not work with the module… Like i told the fella above, I think this is above my abilities. Looks like a fun module… I will close this as solved. I am not capable.

The module is working. After the set time, the screen turns off. But after about 10 seconds, the screen turns on. The counter shows 0 seconds.

@MilkShake try aplay -D plughw:2,0 xxx.wav If you make an ~/.asoundrc You should be able to set the default output device Notice the . In front

@sdetweil Thanks Sam! I ended up copying the SD card to a new one.

@Ypsimm ok, please make sure NOT to use sudo with any MagicMirror commands

@Eli Great :) Let me know what you think. There’s been a small update since then — it can now display not only the calendar but also the task list, and this can be configured optionally.

@renevandenbroek I am not aware of another working voice module

@malvinas Someone had this problem once because they were using an old version of MagicMirror. Which version do you have?

That error is actually a ‘safety feature’ of the newer Raspberry Pi OS. Since they started protecting the system Python environment, you can’t just use pip install globally anymore. The easiest way around this is to use pipx. Try running these two commands- sudo apt install pipx pipx install mmpm This installs MMPM in its own little ‘bubble’ so it doesn’t mess with the rest of your Pi’s system.

sorry to revive this thread. I’m trying to get this going on my own MM @tjat do you think you’d be able to post your config.js file so I could have a reference please?

@smegbadger said in MMM-Universal-PIR - ‘GPIOcommand exited with error!': It never occurred to me the container would update things unannounced! the container does not update things on your host, but the container itself is running debian and (if you are using karsten13/magicmirror:latest) the debian version of the container image switched from bookworm to trixie …

Love the module! I was wondering one thing, is there a way to implement just a persistent reminder? Either with the other tasks or in its own “Reminders” category. I know you can create a daily task but I would like to set a reminder that will keep on rolling over to the next day until completed.
