      Found it
      MMM-DumbAssCatFacts.js
      change line 100,

      from

          this.facts = data.body.all;

      to this

          this.facts = data.body;

    • RE: MMM-ModulesGroupsRotation - simple alternative to MMM-pages

      @lazerclone
      Been using Carousel for a few years now and it works great. You can have pretty much as many modules as you want circulate through with it.
      I would like to have the ability to have each or individual modules timed to stay up longer or shorter time periods, but have not really dove into working out that small issue with carousel…

    • RE: Can MagicMirror run on other similarily priced hardware?

      @sdetweil
      It only runs a patched version of stretch right now. I am able to do the project I was wanting to do with it… at $55 it is a little pricey and a LOT more work to get running debian, but it is doing the job. Finally found a wireless adapter for the Libre and it is rock steady… Only thing I do not like is I can not seem to get it to boot from a usb drive has to be from sd card…
      Fun little learning experience…

    • Stop and Start MM on a schedule

      How do I get MM to Start and Stop on a schedule?
      I am running Bookworm 64bit and MM v2.29
      This is what used to work in buster 32bit and MM v2.15
      in my crontab -e

      # Turn off display Sunday - Thursday at 21h45
15 21 * * 0-4 pm2 stop all
# Turn off display Friday - Saturday at 23h45
45 21 * * 5,6 pm2 stop all
# Turn on screen Monday - Friday at 7h00
00 07 * * 1-5 pm2 start mm
# Turn on screen Saturday - Sunday at 8h00
00 08 * * 6,0 pm2 start mm

      It doesnt work anymore.
      Can someone explain why it doesnt work anymore and how to fix it.

      @evroom
      Crap on a Cracker,
      I was forgetting to put the login information in the url.
      DUH, thanks for the help it works great now…
      So if I want to show say 3 cameras 1 at a time I just add them to the window 1

                          "rtsp://xxxxx:xxxxx@192.168.1.40:554/stream1",
                    "rtsp://xxxxx:xxxxx@192.168.1.35:554/live",
                    "rtsp://xxxxx:xxxxx@192.168.1.32:554/live",

      and now it actually works great.
      Thank you so much for the module.
      I have been looking for this for a long time.
      I am so happy I can veiw my cameras again.
      RTSPStream went byb bye due to no one wanting to work with it anymore…
      Thank you again for this great moduel.

    • MMM-MPlayer

      This is what I have in my config.js for MMM-MPlayer.
      My problem is I can play big bunny and pretty much any video.
      BUT I want to show my rtsp cameras like the github shows I can.
      I installed mplayer and the videos play, so pretty sure I have the setup correct to that point. I am running this on Rpi 4 2gb ram off a ssd/usb .
      Bullseye 64b MagicMirror 2.29 I used Sams install script and it installed flawlessly as usual…
      Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the only module running on this setup. I built it only so I could view my cameras on a bigger screen.
      Since RSTMStream is dead anymore I was really excited to see something else that might work…

      {
	module: "MMM-MPlayer",
        disabled: false,
        position: "middle_center",
        header: "MPlayer",
	config: {
	  useTwoWindows: true,
	  layout: "row",
	  monitorAspect: 0,
	  rotate: -1,
	  windowSize: { width: 640, height: 360 },
	  windowPosition: { x: 5, y: 225 },
	  streamInterval: 30000,
	  streams: {

      @sdetweil
      Sam,
      I got this message when installing MM with your script.

      (node:8435) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 close listeners added to [TLSSocket]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit

      Approximately 83 times, as close as I could get a count on them.

      Is it anything I need to worry about.

    • RE: PM2 start web browser at start up of pi4

      @sdetweil
      I just made it work, I am so happy
      the commands to start it are
      pm2 start 0
      and to stop
      pm2 stop 0
      works that is how my MagicMirror starts in the mornings and stops at night…
      pm2 is like magic…
      Thanks for the help
      I will give it a run overnight and see how crontab handles the commands.
      You always have an answer that triggers my thought process to make it work.
      Thank you Sam I appreciate your efforts to teach us that are not too bright…

    • RE: PM2 start web browser at start up of pi4

      @sdetweil

      I figured out I had to remove the && ctrl C and now it just opens the one tab.
      DISPLAY=:0 chromium http://192.168.1.177:8083/live
      is all that is inside the Camera.sh file now, it now works.
      So I can now start it up with crontab -e
      I can use killall chromium and it shuts it down.
      But then pm2 restarts it for me automatically.
      How do I get pm2 to stop watching for the shut down?

    • RE: PM2 start web browser at start up of pi4

      @sdetweil

      DISPLAY=:0 chromium https://www.google.com &

      opens the chromium web browser with google just fine, but then I get this error over and over again.

      [4886:4886:1201/195513.105659:ERROR:gbm_wrapper.cc(79)] Failed to get fd for plane.: No such file or directory (2)
[4886:4886:1201/195513.105747:ERROR:gbm_wrapper.cc(262)] Failed to export buffer to dma_buf: No such file or directory (2)

      any idea why that would be happening? It doesn’t start until the web browser actually starts up on my screen. I can ctr c and it stops and the web browser stays running like I want it to.

      I made a Camera.sh and pasted.
      DISPLAY=:0 chromium 192.168.1.177:8083/live & ^C
      PM2 start Camera.sh
      PM2 save

      AND

      it works kind of, the problem now is it just keeps running and loading tab after tab until I kill it.
      What am I not doing correctly.?
