[sdetweil]

@Darkmx-6 correct

[Darkmx-6]

Yeah I can’t get it to come up.

I’m not sure what else I can do.

[sdetweil]

@Darkmx-6 if u can change the startup, npm start dev opens the developers window

@sdetweil

I am trying a clean install now

[Darkmx-6]

@sdetweil

is this the start file you are talking about?

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls
chromium_start.sh  mmstart.sh                  package-lock.json
MagicMirror        node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ 

mmstart.sh?

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nano mmstart.sh

  GNU nano 3.2                       mmstart.sh                                 

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/MagicMirror
node serveronly &
sleep 30
xinit /home/pi/chromium_start.sh

npm start dev

Is that where it goes?

Man doing this project makes me feel so dumb I need to learn more, any suggestions?

[Darkmx-6]

Oh an just to update with the clean install I had the same issue.

[Darkmx-6]

I am also now using a Raspberry Pi 3 B+

[Darkmx-6]

Well I ended up going to a static picture because I can’t think of what else to do.

@Darkmx-6 i don’t know where mmstart.sh came from… it is not part of the base MagicMirror solution.

the MagicMirror start script is ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

it does not run serveronly… it assumes you are running the mirror user experience ON the same machine.

i don’t know if EasyBack works on the remote client of serveronly… THAT browser would have to enable autoplay… our fix was for the electron browser running ON the same machine

edit:
ok, i see what you are doing… using chromium for the browser for some reason…

so u have to disable the autoplay blocker there , from
https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

You can decide to disable entirely the autoplay policy by setting the 
Chrome flag "Autoplay Policy" to "No user gesture is required" at chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy. 
This allows you to test your website as if user were strongly engaged with your site and playback autoplay would be always allowed.
