      Hi all,
      Thx for taking some minutes to read my question, much appreciated!
      The aim is to test some modules an custom.css without having to connect the Pi to a monitor physically.
      I would like to know how would it be possible to display graphically the mirror from a remote access? i have tried with VNCviewer from my laptop but when starting the mirror with “pm2 start mm” from the vnc screen, the mirror is not displaying. Maybe i missed a config part? or maybe there is a more simple way to achieve this? ipWhitelist option?

        @bibi just use ctrl m to minimise MM then you can do what you want. Oh missed that let’s see your config file as that is probably what it is

            @bibi lol through up your config file, I use VNC on my phone to talk to and do stuff on the magic mirror, install MMM-Remote-Control and MMM-Remote-Control-Repositories this will make it easy for you to update your modules one click 😉

                @bibi should just be the main config file, through up the file so we can see if you have missed anything, I take it that this isn’t showing via HDMI either?

                  @dazza120 well the aim was not to use another module as MMM-remote-control to be able to display the mirror on the phone for instance but i’ll give it a try when possible.

                    @bibi the repository control needs that module to work this is mearly to update the modules use VNC to do everything else, but as said does it display the MM via Hdmi?

                      @dazza120 yes via hdmi it working perfectly fine. i just wanted to avoid switching on / off my monitor each time i do a change either in a module or custom.css. i wanted to have a easy way to refresh MM after a change was done and to see the results of those changes.
