Not sure if everyone already knows this… but I just figured out that if you add

.MMM-GoogleSheets table {
  background-color: transparent !important;
  border-collapse: collapse;
}

.MMM-GoogleSheets td,
.MMM-GoogleSheets th {
  background-color: transparent !important;
  color: white !important;
  border: none !important;
}

to your custom.css, the background becomes transparent!
(nice if you use, eg, https://github.com/parnic/MMM-Unsplash for a nicer background)

Thought I’d share this just for the fun of it.
Best,
Karl

@bkeyport - I finally got it going :) Any other recommendations?

Hi everyone - I have a problem with MMM-RTSP on a Pi4.
Rotating the screen on a Pi4 is different from rotating on a Pi1/2/3: you don’t do it via the config file, but rather have to set the preference. No problem

BUT the streams that RTSP displays DONT get rotated…

Anyone have any ideas? Should I try to rotate the Pi4 display some other way (there seem to be some work-arounds)? Did this show up in other modules? Any way that I might be able to modify my css files?

Thanks
Karl

@sdetweil
YUP - YOUR file works.
And NOW the copied on from Git to my local directory works too…

Oh well, I guess my MM just needed to know some master was watching it!

Thanks for all the help,
Karl

@sdetweil
HERE is my config:

{
        module: "compliments",
        position: "lower_third",
        config: {
                remoteFile: "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ryck/e28a69665b8839f6e9a7acd6b4acc97d/raw/be1dee8f805a433f6ee0fa3556d1927da14e7799/compliments.json",
//              remoteFile: "compliments.json",
//              remoteFile: "~/MagicMirror/modules/default/compliments/compliments.json",
                },
},

All I do is un-comment the remoteFile lines one at a time to test -
and the lower two remoteFiles (that are commented out) DO NOT WORK even though the compliments.json file is the one I copied from Git…

I only want one (local) file; I’m not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thanks,
Karl

@ryck
I am struggling with this… why am I dense?

1. IF I use

remoteFile="https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ryck/..."

(ie just pointing at YOUR file online), THEN things work. (but this is what I did not like in the first post of mine)

2. IF I copy your compliments.json into ~/MagicMirror/modules/default/compliments/compliments.json
   like I read your response, and use

remoteFile="compliments.json"

THEN all I get are the “original” compliments.

3. IF I replace (ouch!) the original compliments.js (your response could be read to imply that) with your compliments.json and use

remoteFile="compliments.json"

THEN I get no compliments at all (but at least no warnings either: that’s impressive).

Right now, if I want to add my own compliments, all I can do use approach (1), but place your compliments.json into my own git, edit and point to that. Which seems awkward…

Any help would be appreciated.

@ryck
I was wondering how I can just link to a LOCAL file (instead of your github): I’d like to change the contents.
(Yes, I could copy to my OWN github and modify, but that seems a bit wierd).
I have to date failed with

remoteFile: "~\MagicMirror\config\compliments.json"

where I had copied your file to.

What am I missing?
Thanks
Karl

@clegallic - I am on a Rasp3A, but fully patched (npm 6.14.8, node 10.23.0, nodejs 10.23.0).
As su, I fail npm run token:generate - with a

Type Error: cannot read property '0' of undefined...

(there is more). Upon inspection MY credentials.json file starts like

{"web":{"client_id

while your example begins

{"installed":{"client_id

(the rest looks similar to your example) Any idea what I did wrong? If I just replace my “web” with “installed”, I still fail.
Thanks,
K

@TomBrown
Easy - use the module MMM-GoogleSheets
and edit your own Google Sheet.
That’s exactly how I “communicate” with my mirror from anywhere

@sdetweil THX! Will do.

@sdetweil
wait - wasnt’ that the newest?
Sorry - working on something else right now, but please send latest and best installer link

THANKS FOR THE HELP,
Karl

@sdetweil
I did (read my way through all the posts)

HOWEVER,
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10859/new-update-upgrade-script-ready-for-testing/2
told me to run

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"

and that made me a new installation that did work.

Sometimes you have to sledgehammer things, I guess.

Thanks for offering to help,
karl

Hmm - same thing for me. Too much time on my hands, so I updated. And now I get

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

Got this module to run without problems. BUT:
I’d like to display 3 lines using the SAME y range; currently all three data are scaled and display their own y-axis.
In other words, if, say, y1 in[0,10] and y2 in[20,50] and y3 in[20,30],
I want y_min=0 and y_max=50. And only ONE lable on the y axis. (in any color i want)

Is that possible?

@lavolp3 THAT made my head hurt. Schoene Idee, aber ich kann kein whatever-that-language is. I’d be willing to learn, though, so I’ll start reading up on modules.

Hi all - wondering if anyone knows of a fast way to just display the number of UNREAD emails for various accounts? EG:
joe@public.com 2 unread emails
suzieQ@person.net 3 unread emails
(I wear too many hats, and this would be a nice thing to see in the morning)

Thanks,
K

SHOULD have been easy (and yes, I am patched / updated / upgraded / have node v10 etc)

Interesting - but (a) what does it mean and (b) how do I proceed?

Thanks,
Karl

After a few hours of having fun with this module (wanted to track phones vs MAC), here is what finally worked for ME:
I added one “dummy” IP address (eg of my home NAS). Once the program saw the IP address, it also found all the MAC addresses.

NO idea why, so don’t knock this. Banged my head against it for hours.
[then again, maybe the black cat I sacrificed helped too]

Anyway, that’s my 2c.

I have to keep an eye on various servers at work; I find it easy to remember their IP addresses (plus my DHCP does not work from home anyway). Thus, I PING to, eg, 10.111.12.50 or 10.111.12.51

I would like the DISPLAY on my MM to say SQLserver or Exchange instead of these IP addresses.

I cant seem to be able to figure out how to do that. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

I just resurrected an old MM, and my wife is wondering if I can change the display to show both the current temp and today’s predicted high (ie 60F/80F) as large as possible.
I can copy and paste, and if I think hard enough, probably modify files.

Thanks,
