@karsten13 maybe has more skill here…

sorry, no. Maybe google has some findings.

[karsten13]

you could try adding

        electronOptions: {
                webPreferences: { webSecurity: false },
        },

in config.js

[stephanvdplas]

@karsten13 good option. I tried it (actually I placed the option directly in the electron.js script) but it doesn’t change the situation at all.

@stephanvdplas

I can only guess without having the debug case …

You can google and try changing electronOptionsDefaults and/or electronSwitchesDefaults in js/electron.js if you find something …

[stephanvdplas]

@karsten13 I am quite sure about having the config right:

	let electronSwitchesDefaults = ["autoplay-policy", "no-user-gesture-required"];
	app.commandLine.appendSwitch(...new Set(electronSwitchesDefaults, config.electronSwitches));
	let electronOptionsDefaults = {
		width: electronSize.width,
		height: electronSize.height,
		icon: "mm2.png",
		x: 0,
		y: 0,
		darkTheme: true,
		webPreferences: {
			contextIsolation: true,
			nodeIntegration: false,
			zoomFactor: config.zoom,
			webSecurity: false
		},
		backgroundColor: "#000000"
	};

	// DEPRECATED: "kioskmode" backwards compatibility, to be removed
	// settings these options directly instead provides cleaner interface
	if (config.kioskmode) {
		electronOptionsDefaults.kiosk = true;
	} else {
		electronOptionsDefaults.show = false;
		electronOptionsDefaults.frame = false;
		electronOptionsDefaults.transparent = true;
		electronOptionsDefaults.hasShadow = false;
		electronOptionsDefaults.fullscreen = true;
	}

	const electronOptions = Object.assign({}, electronOptionsDefaults, config.electronOptions);

	// Create the browser window.
	mainWindow = new BrowserWindow(electronOptions);

So the webSecurity line is the only thing I added/changed.

sorry, my point is you have to google the error with the keyword “electron” and check if you find something which you can test

[stephanvdplas]

@karsten13 sorry to report that there is no other possibility than to revert back to electron 30.0.0
After this, the iFrame works again. After re-installing 31.0.0, it is broken again.
So no I have implemented this workaround.

sudo npm install electron@30.0.0

this command saved my life mirror

@stephanvdplas unrelated to your problem is your solution technique.

we provide access to these settings in config.js so you DON’T edit our code, as this causes update problems.

ok understood. But but both ways don’t work. Only thing that helps is reverting the installation of electron to 30.0.0.

[sdetweil]

@stephanvdplas i understand, looks like something changed in 31, which can be a bug as well.

you’ve got a workaround in the near term.

id open an issue on the MagicMirror github page with the error and a link to this topic so we don’t lose it.
finding a test environment will be the tough thing
