@sdetweil that was my issue, I had assumed :8080/ what my main directory… fixed it. Thanks a bunch!

@sdetweil ah, it wasn’t showing errors because I had it written to load at 5am… I set it to run in one minute, and I did receive a 404 for the images, permissions are all groovy but I noticed I can’t view the images from localhost:8080/path-to-images in the browser, but if I just put in the file path in the address bar I can see the images… then I ran npm start dev and I found an EADDRINUSE error. Stumped. Thanks your you assistance so far!

@sdetweil no 404 errors or anything else that pops out at me…

@jedilkeme what should I be looking for from there?

@sdetweil ctrl-alt-i has no effect???

im working on a super basic tarot draw module that draws three cards at random out of seventy eight at random with the chance of inversion of each card. not being a javascript or any other kind of real coder(i am a script kitty at best and not afraid to admit it). i had chat gpt write me a module, which seems well written, ive had it correct itself and i just dont see where the errors are, if anyone would be willing to take a look i would be stoked. thanks in advance code_text ...

@kayakbabe i am using the mirror as a BlueTooth pass-through for my home audio set-up, i connect to the mirror via BlueTooth, it automatically connects to the house audio works well now. thanks for your input!

i figured out a very hacky solution taking the meta data off of the dbus and spitting it into a text file using grep and from the third party module site i found a simple text file module to display it.

then, to get constant updating, i set it on a cronjob and found a script to make it run every 5 seconds.

it works well, but the text blanks for milliseconds at a time and is noticeable, i am sure some adjusting of the cronjobs can hopefully make it appear to be more steady.

ive been searching for a module that will display the audio meta data from a bluetooth connection to the magic mirror, and have yet to find one. does anyone know of such a module or be willing to help me find the right direction?
