@chris1971 said in MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast:

You have included the Google Maps JavaScript API multiple times on this page. This may cause unexpected errors.

I haven’t seen that one before

I xxx’ed out your api key in the debug info

chris1971

@sdetweil thanks for xxx
What is your recommendation? Delete maps and new install?
Can you explain why I see the MM in the terminal correct, if I stop all and start npm? Is ist possible to delete PM2?

sdetweil

@chris1971 delete pm2, sure, see the

pm2 --help

output

no idea why u are having trouble

try this

instead of npm start
do
npm run server
then access from the remote and see what happens

chris1971

@sdetweil
npm run server - no success

I deleted pm2 - then I was able to start MM from the console without black screen with npm start. But then MM didn’t start on the mirror.

Maybe I will setup a new system tomorrow … thanks for your input until now - cheers

sdetweil

@chris1971 hm… are you trying to display mm on multiple monitors at once?

if so

this is built in function

edit the config.js to allow access from outside the mm machine

address:'0.0.0.0'
ipWhitelist:[],

then on the mm machine, in a terminal window, do

ip addr

and remember that value
then

npm start

then on your other machine, use a browser
(Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Midori, Safari)

and open http://ip_address_from_above:8080

Short summary: I installed MM new with your script - I agreed to the installation of pm2 and disable screensaver. To get a connection to my WIN 10 via remote desktop computer I need to install sudo apt-get install xrdp. Without this installation I’m not able to start the remote desktop connetcion - Only via putty.
After the installation I am not able to run npm start without getting a black screen. I have to pm2 stop all - then npm start again and I see the MM screen on my computer to update the modules, config, etc.
This is what we have seen before:

}

With this error MM is running on the Mirror screen without problems.

When I install MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic I get following message:

@chris1971 we have two different problems going on.

when u start MagicMirror, it will display on the monitor attached to the system. NOT any remote console.
it IS a mirror on the wall after all

IF you want to show the mirror screen on a remote system, phone, laptop, tablet, desktop
then you use a browser on that other device to show the mm screen from it’s server on the mirror system.

you do not start another running copy of MagicMirror . you do not need rdp to do this.
just a browser.

IF you want to display MagicMirror over your rdp session, then you would open a browser thru the rdp session and use the url
http://localhost:8080
as rdp makes it like you are at the local desktop

I’ll look at the Googlemapstraffic problem

chris1971

@sdetweil many thanks - but I have to install/ modify the Mirror from my computer. That’s the reason why I would like to connect via WIFI and get easy access to the modules/ config, etc.
With Putty I only have access to the terminal - not to the PI Explorer…

Your recommendation is not to install sudo apt-get install xrdp - it seems that this install mekes the trouble with 2 systems…

sdetweil

@chris1971 yes, rdp is fine to access the console.

but from the remote system u just use a browser to see the mm contents

same as if you used putty to edit the config.js

try it. that is the whole point of pm2, start the mirror/web server without user intervention

as u have removed pm2, use putty to logon and npm start. , then disconnect putty

now use your browser on windows to access the mm web server BEFORE STARTING rdp, using the same IP address as you used for putty
and port 8080 (the port number in mm config.js)

if u make a change and restart mm. then hit refresh on the browser page

chris1971

@sdetweil Thanks for your support - a solution for the maps issue would be really nice!!!

The 1st topic with the remote desktop is my minor challenge
