just tried the web-page-screensaver and I have to admit it fails displaying the MagicMirror site.
I’m looking for another solution

@yawns

I’m a bit of a newbie, can you explain in a little more detail…
Like how to run node serveronly via autostart?

Sort of the same subject…

What I’m trying to do is turn on the MM and use it like it is the screensaver.

My MM is on a Windows 10 desktop and a laptop. Ivecbeen trying to figure out how to run the mirror after 5 minutes inactivity. Like a screensaver would .

Any ideas!!???

Run node serveronly via autostart so it runs in the background
Use https://github.com/cwc/web-page-screensaver/releases and point to http://localhost:8080

Untested, but in theory it should work
