MMM-Screencast Position

[poucedeleon]

Have installed MMM-Screencast on my MagicMirror2 and it works great. I am trying to position the screen in a specific position on my monitor. My Monitor is portrait, and I want the screen at middle point hormonally on the right side. It is an area where I don’t have anything on the screen. I have added x: and y: to my config.js, but no matter what numbers I type the screen does not move. Has anyone been able to move the screen, and maybe tell me what I am doing wrong.

{
module: "MMM-Screencast",
position: "top_right", // This position is for hidden <div /> ect.
config:   {
               position:   "top_right",
               height:   300,
               width:   500,
               x:   -700,
               y:   0,
     }
},

Possible values are top_bar , top_left , top_center , top_right , upper_third , middle_center , lower_third , bottom_left , bottom_center , bottom_right , bottom_bar , fullscreen_above , and fullscreen_below

 {
        module: "MMM-Screencast",
        position: "top_right", // This position is for hidden <div /> ect.
        config:  {
               position:   " ", //Possible values are top_bar , top_left , top_center , top_right , upper_third , middle_center , lower_third , bottom_left , bottom_center , bottom_right , bottom_bar , fullscreen_above , and fullscreen_below
               height:   300,
               width:   500,
               x:   -700,
               y:   0,
     }
},

@poucedeleon Maybe I should take “position:” out if I am using x & y?

@poucedeleon note that there are TWO position settings

from the readme

               module: "MMM-ScreenCast", 
		position: 'bottom_right', // This position is for a hidden <div /> and not the screencast window
		config: {
			position: 'bottomRight',

the 1st one is thee MM position, there MUST be something, else NO content will be displayed
as MM doesn’t know where to put it.,.

the second (different spelling) is the modules private info… don’t know how it uses that

this is really helpful post for me, thank you for your comments

[poucedeleon]

@sdetweil I know spelling is critical. On your example position: :“bottomRight” is this spelling correct?

[sdetweil]

@poucedeleon

position: 'bottomRight',

that is a MMM-ScreenCast property… not MagicMirror

but, yes whatever way the module expects, exact syntax is important, including upper/lower case.
