well the problem was I think about privileges to issue the xrandr command from a shell. I got it worked out with xhost + and it works fine now. Thanks a lot for your help.

Hey there,

it’s been quite a while since I installed my MM.
Now there was the time for an upgrade of the monitor and I decided to do it with a freshly installed pi to start fresh. That worked fine and I got it running very soon. Only problem is the rotation of the screen:
As far as I know the old methom with boot/config.txt doesn’t work anymore, but I have to use xrandr.
I can use DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right in console to rotate, but when using @xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart it has no effect.
What is to now correct way of doing it?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Anduril

  Operating System: Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

I also had this problem of flickering when I used the fake dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d . Now that I am using the “original” OpenGL driver it is solved for me.

thank you guys… you are totaly right.

@ryck thank you for pointing me to this. Maybe you could also mention this in the readme or even use the specified standard language of the mirror as value here.

@mykle1 still not working and changing every 30 seconds…
I have not modified anything of the compliments files and am not using multiple configs (don’t actually know how to do that). I can add new compliments to the list and they are shown, so it’s not a general problem of not seeing the config. Seems more specific to the updateIntervall, as I tried different values without any changes in the mirror.

                {
                        module: "compliments",
                        position: "lower_third",
                        updateInterval: 5*60*1000,
                        config: {
                                compliments: {
                                anytime: [
                                "Hallo",
                                "Guten Tag"
                                ],
                                morning: [
                                "Guten Morgen!",
                                "Hab einen schönen Tag!",
                                "Hast du gut geschlafen?"
                                ],
                                afternoon: [
                                "Du siehst toll aus!"
                                ],
                                evening: [
                                "Du siehst klasse aus!"
                                ]
                                }
                        }
                },

Indeed, very cool. I really like it.
What is needed to add localisation to your module? My wife don’t like to ready the age of our daughter in englisch… :-)

@mykle1 yeah it is still updating every 30s now. I will test your value and report back.

edit: btw it is set to 600 seconds => 10 minutes

Hi,

I really like the idea of the mirror making compliments to the one in front of it (and my wife and all other female visitors like this too :-) )
But with the standard update intervall it changes way to fast for my liking. I tried to change this, but it didn’t had any effekt. Maybe someone here can help me out.

                {
                        module: "compliments",
                        position: "lower_third",
                        updateInterval: 600000,
                        config: {
                                   compliments: {
                                   anytime: [
                                   "Hallo"
                                   ],
                                   morning: [
                                   "Guten Morgen!",
                                   "Hab einen schönen Tag!",
                                   "Hast du gut geschlafen?"
                                   ],
                                   afternoon: [
                                   "Du siehst toll aus!"
                                       ],
                                   evening: [
                                   "Du siehst klasse aus!"
                                   ]
                             }
                        }
                },

@lavolp3 great, your fix worked. Only thing I noticed is if the date is tomorrow it still shows ‘Tomorrow - Nov. 22’
Now I still have to fiddle a few glitches in the calendar module:

1. Having a event with start and end time it will be displayed like ‘in 3 days - 18:00’. It would be better to include starting time ‘in 3 days 15:00 - 18:00’
2. For a ongoing event it keeps the end time, but start time gets relative for how long it still goes on ‘1 hour left - 18:00’ (hope my translation is correct, my mirror is german). Maybe this could be changed to ‘for 4 hours - 18:00’ or similiar.
