MMM-EasyBack / Nothing to display ..

[vietscong]

Good afternoon

First , thanks to the all of you for this excellent project and community .

I’ve been working on my MagicMIrror so i can make a gift for a friend …

And everything went smoothly until this road block …

I wanted to install MMM-EasyBack so i can i have a background…

and it just can’t make it work. Nothing is displayed …i have tried an image, a video…nothing

I have read and follow the installation file and make everything i should do …

until this part:

"Fix for use with Chromium Browser
Thanks to sdetweil and Darkmx-6
I edited the file chromium_start.sh found here:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls
chromium_start.sh MagicMirror mmstart.sh node-v10.16.0-linux-armv6l package-lock.json
and added
–autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required

Example:

GNU nano 3.2 chromium_start.sh

#!/bin/sh
unclutter &
xset -dpms # disable DPMS (Energy Star) features.
xset s off # disable screen saver
xset s noblank # don’t blank the video device
matchbox-window-manager &
#midori -e Fullscreen -a http://localhost:8080
chromium-browser --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --incognito --kiosk http://localhost:8080/"

i just cannot edit the chromium_start_sh file …because i cant find it …

Is there anyone that can help me please.

THanks

Best Regards

before u go down that path,

open the developers window ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, then select the console tab and scroll up to see any errors.

you shouldn’t need to run the chromium browser.

did u try the default backgrounds?
