Magic mirror with 2 displays

[Ety60]

Thanks for the quick respons
Yes, exact like that.

[sdetweil]

hm, this is mine, cut and paste, opens on second display

var config = {
  electronOptions: { x: 1920}, 

are you using docker or MagicMirrorOS

[Ety60]

I found the error, because I put the 2 screens on top of each other, not x but y = 1920.
But I have found that the magicmirror2 folder is listening for the config file of the magicmirror folder. How can I adjust this?

[sdetweil]

@Ety60 how did u start each mm?

[Ety60]

I have done npm start on both

[sdetweil]

@Ety60 hm… then they should be looking at the config folder under each separate mm folder

u cannot start it twice from the same folder

[Ety60]

I used npm start to start both displays

[sdetweil]

@Ety60 from the separate mm installation folders, right

~/MagicMirror
and
~/MagicMirror2

assuming there is a coding error someplace, rename like this

~/MagicMirror1
and
~/MagicMirror2

then there is no, MagicMirror folder to use from

[Ety60]

I have done that but it still uses 1 config file. I have found that it always uses the config file of the MagicMirror that I run first.

[sdetweil]

@Ety60 makes no sense. u are doing

cd ~/MagicMirror1
npm start

in another window

cd ~/MagicMirror2
npm start

right

[Ety60]

thats correct!

[sdetweil]

@Ety60 can u show the two console outputs

[Ety60]

There is an error in the second console output. This one:

listen EADDRINUSE:  address already in use  128.0.0.1:8080

[sdetweil]

@Ety60 u have to change the port on the second one as well

sorry, looking back I didn’t mention that

[Ety60]

no problem, I should have looked at the console output earlier. would you just like to tell me which other port I can choose?

[sdetweil]

@Ety60 try 8090
