@sdetweil As much as I assumed this was not a WIFI issue, I removed the mirror from the wall and put the Pi on top of the enclosure as opposed to behind the screen, and all modules appear to be working fine now.

camera was frozen up again. Rebooted the pi. I also can’t connect to the pi remote and see the mirror using IP:8080. Running iwconfig i see the link quality as 51/70. I do see power management is on for the wifi, and I read a report that this can be problematic. any other thoughts?

@TAGinside I used the OneCallWeather module. Again, I’m unsure if it is wifi as the camera seemed to be stuck too until I rebooted the whole pi. Now the camera comes up, but the weather module still hasn’t re-loaded.
I’m unsure of how to start troubleshooting it to determine what the issue truly is. I will see if the camera has continued to work live and then post back.

@Rags as mentioned, I had to reinstall the OS from scratch. After doing this, I had a new section in the control center on Trixie that allowed me to rotate. No clue why it worked the second time as I used the same imager version to load the OS on the microSD.

I have had an MM running for years. It was on a 3B+ and I just relaunched using a Pi 5. Currently I have my calendar, weather, notifications, a daily verse, and a WebView module installed. I noticed yesterday that the weather was not updating (just shows loading) and the WebView was showing an older image of our camera. Rebooted the pi and the WebView camera image updated, but the weather is still old. Network connection shows it’s active and at 63%. the mirror is in the same room as the WAP, but I’m guessing the signal is somewhat reduced by the Pi being behind my screen. Curious what folks have done to identify what causes issues like this. I don’t suspect it’s a wifi issue as the 63% signal should be suitable. Thoughts?

well…disregard. I wiped and reinstalled the OS fresh, and now the option exists in the system control panel for me to adjust the screens.

I have an original install that was running on a Pi 3B. It was struggling, so I opted to procure a P5. I have installed Trixie, however, I’m unable to rotate the display. There is no system config in preferences that lets me do it through software, and if I add a lien in boot/firmware/config.txt nothing happens there either. I’m really at a loss and I’m hoping someone has had success that can point me in the right direction.

Noted and thank you for the update. In absence of this bug fix, is the general consensus to migrate to newer hardware? If so, does the PI 4 have the headroom to comfortably do this, or are folks migrating to the PI 5?

I have an existing build that uses a 3B+. It has been running for years. I don’t recall the current OS I’m running, but can check it later on. What I’m finding is that the unit is really struggling to run. It takes quite a while to boot, and many of the modules aren’t refreshing. Is the 3B+ just not up to the task anymore with the newer OSs?

@sdetweil
I want to upgrade my Magic Mirror from a Pi 3 to the new Pi 5 because my old one takes almost an hour to boot — it’s basically dead already.

A lot of the modules I use don’t really get updates anymore.
Do you think I could run into serious problems if I reinstall all of them on the new Pi 5?

When I set everything up last time, I had issues with almost every module because of Node.js versions and similar things.

I’m not a coder, so I’m not really able to tweak the modules myself to fix compatibility issues.

I have a unit with a 3B+ and I’m having much of the same issue. It seems to just hang and many modules are no longer updating.
