Magic mirror with 2 displays
-
@sdetweil thanks for your quick and very complete answer. But do I understand that it is not possible to run the software on 2 screens? Could it be possible to run a separate magic mirror on each screen?
-
@Ety60 yes, rename one MagicMirror folder to MagicMirror2 and install a second instance, and in the config.js of one use the
electronOptions:{x:1920}
to display beyond the 1st display -
@sdetweil I addded
electronOptions: {x: 1920}
to my config file and I didn’t get an error but it still only shows up on the first screen. Am I doing something wrong? -
@Ety60 like this, inside the config structure
var config={ electronOptions:{ x: 1920 }, ... modules :[], }
-
Thanks for the quick respons
Yes, exact like that. -
hm, this is mine, cut and paste, opens on second display
var config = { electronOptions: { x: 1920},
are you using docker or MagicMirrorOS
-
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? -
@Ety60 how did u start each mm?
-
I have done npm start on both
-
@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
