Upgrading Mirror Mark II
-
@Fozi Just so you know. Others have reported that the spinning globe is very processor intensive and a standard Raspberry Pi can struggle with displaying it without stutters or hang ups.
-
@bhepler please show us how change the globe for looking like your globe…
-
@BD0G thanks for the info, it’s good to know!
-
Awesome mirror!
Awesome beard too, btw ;)
-
@Fozi On his YT page he mentions this is a video on a loop, not a MagicMirror module.
-
Whats the globe code and the rotating text? I like that a lot.
-
Oke thanks.
-
Yeah, I don’t know how I keep missing notifications for this thread. The globe is just a video clip that the company purchased through the marketing department. It’s all of 60 seconds long and is playing through VLC. The Magic Mirror software isn’t running on the center and right displays.
I worked out the command to play the video on a loop and with a borderless configuration and used a cron job to play it after boot.

@Alphons - The rotating text is the company logo. I used Blender to add some 3D to it and then animate the spin. Once I had a full rotation, I exported it to MP4 and then used a video editor to create a 5 minute MP4 with just the rotation on loop.
And @BD0G will be happy to know that the electrician put an outlet on the wall behind the mirror. So I’ll be reworking the power plug & switch so they aren’t visible. I’ll put a simple switch with a Molly lock on it because I have some available.

Well, the mirror has been refreshed with an internal power cable to an electrical outlet behind the mirror. It looks much more professional now. The forum isn’t letting me upload images right now, but I’ll circle back here and post them eventually.
