      Hello everyone, I just got my rapsberry up and running and MM installed. A couple of things though. I can’t get it to autostart when my raspberry is turned on. Did some searching through the forum and tried a few things and still won’t autostart. Also when MM is running it’s very dim. When I bring up the UI from the raspberry the screen brightens up. But when I close the raspberry UI the screen dims again. Here is a link to a video of the screen dimming issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

        This will help you with AutoStarting MM. Pay close attention to the instructions. At some point you will have to copy what is displayed in your terminal and paste it. You’ll know what I mean when you get to that step.

        Sorry, but I don’t have an idea about the dimming issue. I’ve never seen that one before.

          @Mykle1 thank you for your response. I;m stuck at the part where I need to type cd ~ nano mm.sh. My response is
          bash: cd: too many arguments. Any Ideas?

            @Muzziboy those are two commands to enter, not one

            cd ~

            And then

            nano mm.sh

                So I do not directly have the same problem with dimming. But with me it is so that with one mirror the writing is brighter and with the other mirror darker, although it concerns identical Montiore. Can you adjust the brightness in the general menu?

                  One of my TV’s have some kind of automatic dimming based on the total brightness of what’s shown. Looks a bit like your video. So look in the settings/manual of the screen and see if you can find anything about this and if you can turn it off.

                    @CyruS1337 I tried auto brightness previously. But after reading your response I went and turned everything auto off. Although I don’t know which feature was the problem it solved my dimming problem. Thank you.
