.jpg files, .png files, .gif files, Full Screen animated gifs (not recommended for Pi users).

So I’m not sure what’s going on with mine because it won’t autostart. I did all the changes suggested and below is a copy straight out of the MagicMirror/js/electron.js file.

I’ve restarted it many times.

Before I edited it it had everything there except

'autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required'

was

"autoplay-policy", "no-user-gesture-required"

let mainWindow;

function createWindow() {
    app.commandLine.appendSwitch('autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required');  //< -------- added
        var electronOptionsDefaults = {
                width: 800,
                height: 600,
                x: 0,
                y: 0,
                darkTheme: true,
                webPreferences: {
                        nodeIntegration: false,
                        zoomFactor: config.zoom
                },
                backgroundColor: "#000000"
        };

@Darkmx-6 can you open the developers window, using ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, select the tab labeled console at the top of that window, and scroll up to see any info, or errors…

u can also filter for just messages from a single module by putting part of the module name in the filter entryfield

Sure, I can do that, but is there a way to do that through the console? To physically access the pi I have to climb a ladder. I’m going to do that now but it would be awesome if I don’t have to next time.

@Darkmx-6 not that I have found

@sdetweil

Humm… ctrl shift i doesn’t seem to work. may be it is just slow, I’m rebooting now and am going to try again. I’m using a raspberry pi zero.

Darkmx-6

yeah, it does nothing… is there a way to access it with the mouse?

My Keyboard is connected and working because I can quit magic mirror with the keyboard.

@Darkmx-6 all three keys together, ctrl-shift and the letter i (as in Initial)
