      @sdetweil what do you mean by LSR? what does that mean?
      I have now done this:
      Of course, with “npm run server” it runs in the browser.
      but how do I do it natively on the computer itself? When I enter the command “npm run start” there is an error in the cmd, something with the display.
      I wonder if I did everything correctly, as you described it.

          i don’t understand your question…

          MM is a browser app.
          it runs in Electron, (default), Chromium, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Midori, …

            @sdetweil oh yes sry, I saw it, ok now I have adapted the Package.jason and it is now running.

            Did I do that correctly with the mm.cmd file so that the GPU is active? It still stutters or the clock module is also lagging behind :-(

            Do you speak German too?

              @drx1984 I don’t speak German, but can use translators to read/reply.

              I mislead you, for Windows to set the env variable you have to use set

              set ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1

                @sdetweil So you mean?
                mmm-4.PNG

                …unbelievable does it require so much power? of the stottort anyway.

                the IntelNuc is powerful enough, right?

                  @drx1984 yes, set ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1

                  powerful enough? I do not know…
                  drawing lots of things on the screen takes lots of power. the screen is very slow compared to the processor…

                  I don’t run either of those module.

                    @sdetweil yes certainly more than a Raspi 4 or 5.
                    then are the script and path correct?
                    I don’t notice any difference and it still stutters.

                      @drx1984 yes, looks OK.

                      I would try to run one module at a time

                      to disable the other, add

                      disabled: true,
                      

                      after the module: line
                      so you don’t have to redo config.js

                      we don’t officially support Windows, so I don’t know if you have to do something else to enable gpu for electron.

                      you could try running under edge, at

                      http://localhost:8080

                        @sdetweil yes, I have already tried the exact same configuration under Linux. > unfortunately it stutters there too.
                        That’s why I thought I’d try it on Windows level.
                        I will probably install Ubuntu on the Intelnuc again >because Windwos is not official, as you say.

                        But I don’t think it will stutter anymore, unfortunately.
