MMM-GoogleAssistant not running

[blake_northrup]

This morning I noticed that my MMM-GoogleAssistant needed an update, so I updated the module, and now get the black electron screen instead of the Magic Mirror screen. If I removed the module from the config, the Mirror comes up correctly, but when I add my config back, it goes black again. I have tried everything, from removing, then reinstalling, npm rebuild, electron rebuild, and nada. Was working fine until then. Any help would be greatly appreciated. See errors below:

@blake_northrup said in MMM-GoogleAssistant not running:

that my MMM-GoogleAssistant needed an update, so I updated the module, and now get the black electron screen instead of the Magic Mirror screen. If I remove

do you have run

npm run update

in google assistant folder and Assistant2Display folder ?

have it too but you can
at you mmm-GoogleAssistant folder run

npm install

or

npm rebuild

[blake_northrup]

@wirdman You are the man sir! Much appreciated wirdman!

[wirdman]

@blake_northrup did it work ?

[blake_northrup]

@wirdman Yep, all good. I just needed to do npm rebuild in the MMM-GoogleAssistant folder. I was doing it in the MagicMirror folder. Thanks again!

[wirdman]

pleasure

[wirdman]

@blake_northrup is it possible for you now his installed to ask him to go on youtube or control your spotify ?

[wirdman]

This post is deleted!

[blake_northrup]

@wirdman Hey, sorry, been a very busy couple of days. I can use it to change lighting, turning off devices in smart home, but when I ask to play Spotify, it just gives me info about a video, but doesn’t play.

[wirdman]

@blake_northrup no problem.

okay but about youtube ?

[blake_northrup]

@wirdman It doesn’t play videos either. It just gives a snippet of what I ask for, but no video.

[wirdman]

@Bugsounet @blake_northrup okay because for me now everything work welle but i cannot ask to my google to play something on spotify

[blake_northrup]

@wirdman Yeah, I will dig around a bit to see what I can come up with. At least mine is controlling my smart devices, so that works for now. Please let me know if you figure it out, and I will do the same.

[sdetweil]

@wirdman can u use the windows Spotify connect to play Spotify on your mirror pi? ( I can)

you have to install one of the Spotify system extensions to make play on pi work.

I thought bugsounet said he updated the MMM-Spotify module to do that recently.

[wirdman]

@sdetweil

this part ? cause i have mmm-spotify

[sdetweil]

@wirdman no. the raspotify system extension
https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-spotify/

it is outside mm
it is required to play Spotify on pi. with or without mm

[wirdman]

@sdetweil oh no i didn t know i gonna do that

[A Former User]

if you want to use MMM-Spotify:

npm run spotify step is not needed (only if you want visual)
npm run librespot is needed only if you want to listen music in mirror

spotify A2D config should be :

spotify: {
  useSpotify: true, // because you use and love this sub-module
  useIntegred: false, // if you use MMM-Spotify
  useLibrespot: true, // if you use librespot
  connectTo: "A2D", // set your device name to librespot
  username: "MyUsername", // Spotify username for librespot
  password: "MyPassword, // Spotify password for librespot
}

better it’s clear with that ;)

I also have a problem, I installed everything according to the documentation and it was done correctly, but when I run the application an error appears and the screen goes black. I need help please, thanks.

[A Former User]

It’s meens that snowboy module is not builded correctly

I think when you did npm install you should have some errors, right ?
or maybe you did have no error but you try to do an npm fix command

what OS do you use ?
