Love the idea from first sight, now a bit confused with this issues!


  • Hi there! thank you so much for all of this, its quite amazing!!!
    Had a rough start:
    *bought from TAP plastic a a4 size mirrored acrilic, u$s 40 + u$s 77 shipping+ end up paying also u$s 80 in customs taxes in my country.

    Anyway, back to the issues:

    *Using raspberry pi 3 , installed NOOBs and then did the 1 command line to install MagicMirror.
    Then updated some of the config files as stated.

    *current weather and weatherforecast are with the appid sign display message though I have register to the site and updated with the provided API key.
    location: “Buenos Aires,Argentina”,
    locationID: “6693229”,
    Can someone confirm that it works on your end?

    *Calendar:
    I just changed:
    http://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics
    For
    http://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/Argentina-Holidays.ics

    Lastly when I do npm start on the log it says:
    **
    Sockets connected & modules started …
    Whoops! There was an uncaught exception…
    { Error: listen EADDRINUSE ::: 8080
    at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:1026:11)
    at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1049:20)
    at Server._listen2 (net.js:1253:14)
    at listen (net.js:1289:10)
    at Server.listen (net.js:1385:5)
    at new Server (/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/server.js:17:9)

    at loadConfig (/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/app.js:42:4)
    at App.start (/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/app.js:115:3)
    at Object. (/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/electron.js:81:6)
    code: ‘EADDRINUSE’,
    errno: ‘EADDRINUSE’,
    syscall: ‘listen’,
    address: ‘::’,
    port: 8080 }
    MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

    Error: listen EADDRINUSE ::: 8080

    something is already using this port. got to the config.js an change the port in there to something else

    yeah there was an instance running.
    Also, not sure how to quit the app, I am really new to terminal usage, I stopped once using NPM stop but I cant get that to work anymore, I type stuff and nothing happens when I hit enter
