Electron Browser outdated?
-
Dear all,
I am using this page at night including a module (MMM-SmartWebDisplay from @AgP42) which used to show a livestream from the ISS until the ISS camera payload unfortunately reached its end of live a few weeks ago:
Now I noticed a message in the bottom corner of the livestream, claiming that the browser is outdated.
The link redirects to this website: https://support.video.ibm.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000403129-Supported-Browsers-for-IBM-Watson-MediaI am using MagicMirror² v2.8.0, Node v11.6.0 and npm 6.9.0.
How do I update the electron browser accordingly?Thanks for your support!

@rudibarani
MagicMirror 2.8.0 is using Electron 3.0.13, and the latest version is 6.09 (4, 5 and 6 were all released since march of this year)…I don’t know Mitch’s plans for version updates… you might open an issue in the MagicMirror github repo.
-
Would be interesting to see what happens if electron 6 gets installed.
Anybody here ready to give it a try and crash his mirror? :-D -
The same happens on my MMM-ISS-Live module. However, in my case, I simply “X” out the message and the module continues to work properly. Yes, you need to be able to click.
Odd, I just quit MM and relaunched and the message did NOT appear this time. Hmmm.

I downloaded a fresh MagicMirror copy, and changed the electron version to “latest”, in package.json
And then did npm install
Default config runs fineWill try some other modules

@rudibarani cool. can u post the node and npm versions? thanks
-
@sdetweil: I only updated electron without changing npm and node - so I am still using Node v11.6.0 and npm 6.9.0 on my Mac Mini (24/7 since 2009 :slightly_smiling_face:)
