magicmirror lagging

[1a2a3a]

so i assumed all is in good order ya? the reason for the supposed jerky lag is due to new mm version not playing well with pi 5 wayland?

@1a2a3a electron not playing well with Wayland
we don’t know about either

I had another report that the wallpaper snow was jerky… thats all done in CSS

went back to X11 and it was fine

@sdetweil ok boss. Will just leave it as it is and wait for a future update. Don’t think I’ll go back to x11 given the amount of time spent configuring wayland crontab to schedule on off :D

Thanks anyway!

@sdetweil - Do you think there would be any benefit to running the mirror in server only mode and using Chromium or Firefox in kiosk mode? It may succeed where Electron fails.

@bhepler maybe. it’s a thing to try

pm2 stop all
npm run server

and use your browser to localhost:mm_ip_port
turning off the title bar etc is a task for the user!!!

I have a setup to do this automatically using npm start if it works.
