@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

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,

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

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

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
