@MMRIZE hi, can i know how to change eventheight in cx3? whenever i try to custom change the value, it is overwritten by the default element style which i have no access to it…

@sdetweil pi 5 4gb

@sdetweil I’m also using bitvise as per your suggestion. Editing config file and the drag and drop is brill.

I install MM on pc and do the css on the pc and edit the css before transferring the css over to pi. Only problem is pc MM is horizontal and more often than not I have to guess and trial and error to get my position right.

My pc MM is started via npm start dev hence I can adjust the horizontal scale. So the horizontal position is always like for like. It’s the vertical part that I couldn’t do it because well, the horizontal monitor is not long enough….

Hi all

In the recent update to os, I wasn’t able to perform an update and hit a segmentation fault issue. The os is on my sd card. I perform a restart and it could never boot ever again, got stuck on splash screen.

I reflash the os and no dice. In an attempt to troubleshoot what went wrong, I did the following:
-Tried 2 new sd card and same thing got stuck at splash screen.
-all 3 sd were able to boot via the pi usb using a sd usb adapter.
-also tried installing os into external hdd via usb and could boot without any issues.

This sounds like the sd slot on the pi is broken eh?

I then did the following:
-load eeprom into sd card and plug into pi sd slot and the flash was successful. (See green screen and able to change boot order.)

• Linux gui also show sd card detected.

So… what could be wrong here?

@sdetweil hey Sam can I know your vnc tool? Or rather the problem I’m facing now is that I’m using tiger vnc. My pi monitor is vertical. Pc Monitor is horizontal. When I vnc from the pc it shows vertical but my mouse is in horizontal mode so I can’t control it properly to do my css.

btw, how do i configure the css for the 2 screen?

@sdetweil I can’t Sam, I really can’t. Spent 3 days trying to get this and cron job for schedule on off on Wayland. Managed to get cron to work finally, but no dice on this.

Thanks all! I’ll give this a go once the monitor arrives!

@sdetweil oh my just that simple 1 config file and I’m done? And when I run pm2 it will flash to 2 as well?

@MMRIZE hmmm ideally… 1 pi connect to 2 monitor and both monitor running … this is the part I don’t quite get it.

I want 1 monitor to just display Google photo and the other monitor showing all the informative stuff like calendar news stock etc. would this be more viable running 2 instances of mm? Or 1 instance of mm portraying Google photo on 1 screen and info on another side?

It feels like the first option is easier?

I’m happy to go either direction.

Of course the easiest solution is to buy 2 pi and call it a day. But where’s the fun in that 😅

Hi all, many thanks to everyone who have helped me setup my first mirror especially @MMRIZE and @sdetweil. Having completed the mirror, my wife general sense is that I have too many modules cramp into a 24 inch.

Therefore, I’m thinking if it possible to drive the pi 5 across 2 monitor since the pi 5 has 2 hdmi?

I read previously that it is possible but that’s about 3 years ago and I’m not sure if it still works?

Basically I have to rename my existing mm folder to mm2. Then install mm again from fresh. So in my folder I will have mm(newly installed) and mm2(existing mm).

Install necessary module to each mm where desired.

Edit electron config file (in mm or mm2?)

Run npm start in mm and mm2 folder?

But then I saw another thread where you can have your modules in 1 folder and just set the config to whichever mm or mm2 you wana use.

I’m rather confused about the steps to be honest. Anyone kind enough to walk me through from the beginning again?

@MMRIZE thanks for the explanation. do you have other news module to recommend?

@sdetweil

i have also check that wayland is enabled.

when i ssh from terminal it says fail to connect to display.

but when i type wlr-randr on the pi itself, it has result. but i didnt trigger the off because i have no idea how to turn it back on?

Also, this is my code in cron but it doesnt work as well…
52 17 * * * /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-2 --on
51 17 * * * /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-2 --off

this doesnt seems to work on rpi5 bookworm…

@sdetweil

weak? absolute?

@sdetweil i dont understand sam…

did you mean like this?

.MMM-MyScoreboard .box-score AND stackedWithLogos AND home-team-first .score AND visitor {
left: 120px;
font-size: 0.8rem;
}

@j-e-f-f how do you reduce the font size of the content? i maanged to reduce them in css but then when the next game appear, the entire thing is back to default.

these are the 2 css i made but it seems like it doesnt port over to another game…

.MMM-MyScoreboard .box-score.stackedWithLogos.home-team-first .score.home {
left: 120px;
font-size: 0.8rem;
}


.MMM-MyScoreboard .box-score.stackedWithLogos.home-team-first .score.visitor {
left: 120px;
font-size: 0.8rem;
}

@mumblebaj i cant get my newsapi to work properly.

im trying to get SG all news. i set country to SG but its return other country news like 1News, AZoM. i dont understand why?

{
               module: "MMM-NewsAPI",
               header: "News",
               position: "top_center",
               config: {
                       apiKey: "12345",
                       type: "horizontal",
                       choice: "headlines",
                       pageSize: 50,
                       
                       drawInterval: 1000*30,
                       templateFile: "template.html",
                       fetchInterval: 1000*60*60,
                       QRCode: true,
                       query: {
                               country: "sg",
   			
   			category: "",
   			
   			
                               source: "",
                               domains: "",
                               excludeDomains: "",
                               language: "en",
                       }
               }
       },

@mumblebaj no apologies needed on the late reply, all well and understood. That’s unfortunate. Was really hoping for multiple country and sources. Can I assume if I really want multiple, I’ll need to have multiple module instances of newsapi?

Are there any modules anyone know of that can newsfeed support multiple countries?

@mumblebaj help please?
