      hello no it was second time asking how to get this on mini itx pc as said but still get no answer so not sure why no answer

      There can be a million reasons why you didn’t get an answer. Who can say why?

      With that said, MM can be installed on Pi’s, PC’s, Mac’s. My first mirror is using a Pi3 with the standard Raspbian Jessie out of the box. I have MM installed on a Compaq laptop running uBuntu, a Dell laptop running Windows 7 and my dev machine, also running Windows 7.

      You have to manually install things but it does work, and it works better than on a Pi. The mini itx that @cowboysdude mentioned is a brilliant idea, really. It’s small form factor allows it to be placed behind a mirror as you would a Pi, and its raw computing power, speed and graphics far exceeds that of any Pi.

        I’m going bigger with a mini itx… I like the power and it runs VERY fast with strawberry’s voice module ;)

        hello will you publish how you ggot this with your pc? thank you

        I"m not making a traditional mirror per say… I"m using an Intel cpu and mini itx board with 8 gig ram and SSD on a 32" TV.

        I installed Ubuntu and MM … that’s pretty much it :)

        Is there anything specifically you needed to know?

          Sorry but I never noticed these replies or would have replied earlier, I managed by following @Mykle1 guide. and it worked as expected. Been so busy with setyting up full Alexa home automation in my home that I manage on here for quick visits only, but now automation is complete, I can come back to MM and continue with it, and hopefully incorporate MM in some way, although I already have alexa power up/down the monitor.

            Ahh, excellent! :^)

            Sounds like you’re having fun and getting things done. I don’t have Alexa. Sounds damn cool though! :^)

                Cool, but quite a lot of work coding and making macros, using Broadlink RM Pro (IR and RF), with BlackBean in another room to automate there by IR, using a Droid box as a hub, and now controlling every light, every power point switch, lamps,TV’s, all functions of my AV equipment, LED striplights, spot lights, power on/off my PC’s, access any app/file on PC’s, use and control my Plex server to watch movies, listen to music, view pictures, open close my blinds, Volume up/down on TV’s, change source, change channels, full control of droid box, ect, ect, all by voice control only.

                Now I’m back fully with MM and hope to do more with that.

                  After all that, I’m thinking, you will NOT have a problem with MM. :^)

                    :-D If only linux/JS were that easy for me, it is worlds apart from what I am used to ;-)
