@tommyk can you describe the environment, how does the music get played?

What do you mean by manual start bs auto?
What version of MagicMirror are you running?

Show the system info section of the output from startup

@tommyk looking at the code, I think the system is busy during bootup, and this causes an uncaught failure

There is a new notification , sent after updateDom() is called, to inform the app that the content has been drawn.
See
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/module-development/notifications.html#system-notifications

MODULE_DOM_UPDATED

I think the module needs to use that notification to wait to start the play of the audio element it just added

@sdetweil Hi sam
thanks for your reply, and thanks to everyone for all these wonderful modules
firstly I must say that I am a complete novice ,but love messing about with this mirror thing
I am running a pi 4 with debian 13 (trixie).
so when I type in terminal (cd MagicMirror npm start) the mirror starts with audio… ie Manual start
but when I created a bash file to autostart the mirror, which I got on utube from the fuzz guy
the mirror starts up automatically when the pi has loaded up… but there is no audio…
then if i click control and m to close the mirror and type in terminal the audio is on again.
so it seems something is not loading on autostart.
thats about all I know, sorry but I dont know how to show system info

thanks

@tommyk I understand

Maybe there will be some info here

After starting from boot , where the audio fails,
Open the browser developers window
ctrl-shift-i
Select the console tab, and put juke in the filter field
To see if there are any errors, usually marked in red

If so, copy paste them here

Same keystroke to get out of dev window

Let me know what you find

Another test thing to try, is add a sleep 30
In the script before launching MagicMirror to see if that makes a difference
