<![CDATA[MagicMirror on Dual Screen]]>Hello People,
I am building a MagicMirror on Pi4. And since it has 2 hdmi out ports and I have a few monitors lying around, thought it will be a good idea to build a 3 feet x 2 feet mirror with two screens. Its in early phase right now as I am still configuring it. I am using two monitors in extended mode (not duplicating it).
How can I run magic mirror on both screens. I have created two instances of magicmirror in two folders, mm1 and mm2. I can run each of them successfully but they run on the same monitor only.
I need to run mm1 instance on monitor 1 and mm2 instance on monitor 2. Please guide. Thanks…

electronOptions:{x:????},

where ??? is the width of the screen, to put that mm on the second screen

Something like this https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/4877
