@stampeder the system is running the graphical desktop, right? it must

[stampeder]

Thanks Sam.
I’m just finishing installing chromium. Let me see if it works. My version of Stretch is NOT the desktop version. I have a version of Buster however that is the desktop version. If this still fails after the chromium install, I’ll redo it with the Buster sdcard.
Will your install script also work with Midori browser?

@stampeder it MUST be desktop version… else u will run in serveronly mode and can access from another system

electron or chrome needs the graphical desktop environment to work

[sdetweil]

@stampeder the install script is bash… running is a different problem…

u will have to change the run-start.sh script to launch that browser

[stampeder]

Sam. It finished and when I restarted PM2 the browser did not come up.
I’ll remove the stretch sd card and start over with the Buster desktop sd card. Then it should work.
This will take a while.
Thanks for all your help.
Glenn.

Sam. It took quite a while to get my usb stick programmed, updated and configured but my MagicMirror is up and running thanks to you. Excellent work on the script!!
Now it is off to customize it. What fun…

[sdetweil]

@stampeder awesome! Have fun, come on back if you need more info

@sdetweil
Thanks for all your help.
One quick question. I have security cameras that stream ffmpeg. Is there module that will display just one of these camera’s output?
Cheers.
Glenn.

@stampeder MMM-RTSPStream, MMM-iFrame

see https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-party-modules

[stampeder]

PURRRFECT!! Exactly what I am looking for. MagicMirror is just the wall display I have been searching for. It has come a long way from the original I looked at back in the day.
Thanks again.
Glenn.

Ahhh…got a little problem:
I’m configuring MMM-ip. I cloned the repository into modules without issue.
I put this into my config.js:

{
                        module: "MMM-ip",
                        position: "top_right",
                        config: {
                                fontsize: "5",
                                dimmed: "true",
                                showFamily: "IPv4",
                                showType: "both",
                                voice: "false",
                                startHidden: "false"
                        }
                },

It comes up, but it displays the title Network Interfaces
ETH0
IPv4: 10.10.10…(the correct interface)
MAC: b8:27…(and the rest)
in the middle of the screen.

It doesn’t seem to be controllable nor does it display as advertised.
Hope you can help me out.
Thanks.
Glenn.
Still haveing fun with it…

[sdetweil]

@stampeder sorry, no experience with that module… I’d open a new topic others may be able to help

[stampeder]

Sam:
Thanks. I’ll start a new topic on it.
Now, I use DS18B20 temperature probes a lot. I found a module MMM-DS18B20 for them and it seems people were having issues getting it to work.
I found the problems with it and it now works correctly. I put the fix in the issues.
Is there somewhere else I can alert people to the fact that it is now working as advertised (with the fix)?
Thanks.
Glenn.

[sdetweil]

@stampeder did u make a pull request for the module author?

[stampeder]

@sdetweil No I didn’t. I guess I probably should.
Also, I got the MMM-ip module working the way it was intended to work…Pilot error on the use and not use of quotes in his config. Was not very clearly pointed out. So now got my analog clock, outside temperature (DS18B20) and the ip addresses of my raspberry pi working…Very stoked. Now off to tackle getting security camera working.
Again, thanks for all your help.
Glenn.
