              lol

              so the better thing is that :
              install electron rebuild inside the module desired (there MMM-MP3Player)

              cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MP3Player
              npm install electron-rebuild
              

              and execute it

              ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

                @Bugsounet better not to install it 12 times , just one in MM, then maybe use in module folder…

                too many modules need rebuild

                  I have already tried it but sometimes … it remakes the queue with the other modules and crashes … that’s why I abandoned this method. otherwise on principle i agree with you :)

                  after … like i say : “If it want to works like this … let’s go on !”

                    I think MM needs to escape from the dependency of Electron. (Frankly, it is needed only for fullscreen kiosk front, not using any advanced benefits of Electron itself)
                    or at least modules need to use worker-threading or spawning child process which would be independent from Electron process environment to work with node’s native-modules.

                        I had used my owns for the same.
                        Currently, standalone MM executes server(backend) js inside of Electron. That makes the things complex.
                        It would have been better to execute server outside of MM then launch front Electron for a smooth fullscreen kiosk mode.

                        Or progressively using Electron’s features might have been better also. Electron can support more advanced features like accessing system resources directly.

                        Anyway, current structure is somewhat ambiguous. I was frightened.
