I inadvertently deleted the default Calendar module block in config.js and I have gone round and round with the two examples on that modules page and I cannot get it to run. It crashes MM where whatever that block was prior to getting deleted it showed Thanksgiving and Christmas before Thanksgiving then just Christmas this weekend but I have not been able to replicate that block correctly.
3rd Party modules have the block and it’s just a copy/paste exercise but not this module that I can figure out on my own. Anyone have that part of the default installation of MM?

RE: Getting Loss of Signal fault on large monitor.
Turning off screen blanking appears to have resolved that issue.

RE: Getting Loss of Signal fault on large monitor.
I’ll do that here shortly, if needed, after I run a test.
There is a screen blanking setting in the Pi’s preferences (I didn’t know about) that I just disabled and I’m checking monitor periodically. Looks like that is going to do the trick so far. -
RE: Getting Loss of Signal fault on large monitor.
I just went through the TV settings and turned off several settings but it still turns off. I did make some forward progress in that now I can hit ALT on keyboard and MM image turns back on.
The thing is, I think it is more related to signal flow on HDMI cable to TV. The other MM display I have has a live YouTube stream in iFrame so constant flow of data to monitor. It never cuts off. If I shutdown the MM software such that the Pi OS desktop is only thing on, then that monitor will go black too but click of mouse brings it back. -
RE: Getting Loss of Signal fault on large monitor.
What is causing that loss of signal to monitor? Right now monitor is showing loss of signal yet I am accessing Pi via VNC and it shows as if signal being sent to monitor.
In other things I’ve done, if HDMI disconnected you can’t see the Pi.
So I assume more of a monitor issue than a Pi issue. -
Getting Loss of Signal fault on large monitor.
I have a monitor in bedroom that is not being used so decided to build another display for bedroom.
This new build will run for a while then the monitor will go to a default No Signal screensaver built in to monitor.
I dug around and found some MagicMirror tutorial that seemed to address that problem. Ran through tutorial which seemed like it was somewhat out of date as it was dated 2016. I had already set up the MM to start automatically via pm2 prior to this and all was fine. but on that first reboot after doing the tutorial for screen blanking/screensaver the MM didn’t start and got a fullscreen terminal window with the text in a crazy small size/screen resolution.Re-Commented out line item “x-server-command=X .s O .dpms” in .conf file and everything seemed to return to normal including the loss of signal fault which never was resolved.
Is there a more current rendition of tutorial to fix this problem?
This tutorial was by KirAsh4 dated June 15th, 2016
Like on step 3 or so it says it is addressing screensaver and screen blankingforum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/6

Symbolic Link fault Question
I’m trying to copy my MM from existing Pi4 setup to another Pi4
The process is mostly working but I’m getting some "cannot create symbolic link messages in iFrame node modules and node modules in a Vendor folder and others as it copies to SD card.Is there a way to copy MM from one Pi to another without incurring these faults. Physically, I’m copying the ~/MagicMirror and all its contents to an SD card which I will put in usb port and then copy to ~ on second Pi
I’m not a programmer but can fumble my way through basic file manipulation but this is a problem and it is slow as molasses.

RE: Adafruit IO Module
Any chance you could post your config.js file minus private stuff? Or just the mqtt portion? I tried to do but went different path. Tried using iframe and that didn’t work at all.

How to create border around MMM-iFrame displaying YouTube stream
I want to put a border around the YouTube feed I am displaying via the MMM-iFrame module. I’m not a programmer but have tried setting a border via the module CSS multiple ways with no success. When I copy the embed code I see there is a border property but the module author, alberttwong, has me stripping out everything except the url and autoplay.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/tHKvusCEic4?autoplay=1
This is embed code from the YouTube share option minus the iframe start/stop because it was preventing me from pasting in YouTube code.
width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tHKvusCEic4" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen
I’ve tried various ways of plugging that option back in, to no avail. I also see that the YouTube player has some border options also but I’m stumped. Anyone have any suggestions?
I hope I placed the code blocks correctly in this queston.
