      @sdetweil FWIW on the B&W issue, I used MMM-EasyBack with a youtubeid, and the youtube video appeared, though only taking part of the screen with white behind the elements as before. The youtube video had color in it, IIRC.

      I think I’ve sufficiently messed things up tinkering around. Haha. I’m going to reflash this sd card and try again.

          @sdetweil Is that intended to be run from a fresh Raspbian install?

            @martaaay said in Background is white?:

            is there an easy way to boot to just the raspberry pi desktop?

            just alt-spacebar, n

            to minimize MM after startup

            then u can open a terminal window (ctrl-alt-t)
            and pm2 stop all

                @sdetweil Ah ok, so would you prefer I install fresh Raspian instead of this: http://unofficialpi.org/Distros/MagicMirrorOS/ ?

                (hehe, any chance somebody can bump my account reputation so i can post faster than 120s :) )

                    @sdetweil I’ll go ahead with a fresh latest stable Raspian and use your script. Will take me a bit. Thanks for the help so far!

                      I verified that the raspberry pi desktop boots up and looks fine

                        @sdetweil Thanks for that script! I started from fresh Raspian, ran you script, and now this looks like it’s working far better.
