The Background of the screen like that :

• Before : (without GAB)

• After: (With GAB)

[banbutcher]

Hmmm, doesn’t seem to be working! should it just show up?

i did not edit the with-BackgroundStatus file as i like the jarvis, i dont think im missing any steps!?

thanks again

1. do you have the default GA background without GBA recipe ?

   • blackscreen ?
     -> you use MMM-pages, so configure it correctly !
   • You have the GA default background perfect !

2. If you have default background without GBA recipe :
   -> place your GAB recipe file in queue any recipes

3. tell me result

[banbutcher]

Hmmm…

without recipe i have black background. with recipe in queue, still black background.

i didnt have GAB in MMM-pages and even with it in the fixed section of pages i still have black background

[A Former User]

and so? what can i do? I have to configure MMM-pages or MMM-Carousel ?
explain me …

i didnt have GAB in MMM-pages

??
GAB is not a module, it’s just a recipe for GA … so there is no config in config.js…
explain me why do you want fixed: [] GAB ?? only GA have a config…

[banbutcher]

if GAB is not a module then why do i need to config mmm-pages correctly?

i have GA set to “fullscreen_above” and the “with-BackgroundStatus” in the recipe queue.

i think GA is working like it should, however i dont see the google assistant & logo (like before pic below) i just see black where google logo is…

do you see a MMM-GaBackground.js and node_helper.js there !? NO ! so it’s not a MODULE … installer copy 2 recipes in MMM-GoogleAssistant Directory !
this 2 recipes redirect for playing gifs in each directory : sample for jarvis: there

BUT ! I YOU DON’T have this picture WITHOUT MMM-GABackground

IT’S MEANS MMM-GoogleAssistant is not correctly CONFIGURED with MMM-pages !
Because YOU MUST have the background …

And if you don’t have this background … YOU CAN’T USE MMM-GABackground !

Correct your MMM-GoogleAssistant ISSUE FIRST !
it’s the default background of MMM-GoogleAssistant !!!
You can’t change a background to an hidden module

Actually only MMM-GoogleAssistant popups is displayed (and no modules can prohibits it to display … because it’s a popup and don’t use config.js position of the module)
so, The module is not displayed … the module is: THE BACKGROUND !

hi again,

so ive been playing about to see what the problem was and i found out that when using MMM-Carousel GA and GAB work fine but when used with MMM-Pages i GA works fine but doesnt show the black google assistant logo or the GAB - Jarvis. earlier you said to configure MMM-Pages correctly, im not sure what in pages i need to change.

i would just use MMM-Carousel but im having some issues with that too! :/

Thanks again
