    • Custom.css file

      Is there supposed to be an empty or commented out custom.css file in the CSS folder along with Main.css?
      I’ve read several different things in different modules that seem to say there should be. I’ve done MM install on two Pi’s for different monitors and there is no custom.css file in either.

      Is there a template or just create a blank file and save as custom.css?

    • Purpose of Depth=1

      I’ve loaded a few 3rd party modules and was just curious as to why one of them has --Depth=1 git the initial git clone line. I’ve done plenty of that process with sensors for Pi computers outside of the MM arena and have never seen that before. What is it doing and why is it used.

    • RE: Default Calendar Module

      I don’t understand why but neither the CalendarExt2 or the default calendar will show a Google calendar with JUST holidays. They both accept Google’s http://yadaada.ics
      link that Google provides in settings. The default MM calendar spits out a message saying no upcoming events. Ext2 is just a void on screen.
      Additionally the Ext2 calendar, when I use my Google calendar (that works in Ext2) it strips out the holidays some kind of way. Neither Christmas or New Years show yet appointments past those two holidays do show.

      I need to go read some more on Ext2 calendar.

    • RE: Default Calendar Module

      I just put in the maxnumbeofdays property and set to 30 days. That calenderlabs ical is just static so it doesn’t do anything or so it seems to me.

    • RE: Default Calendar Module

      @sdetweil I just did. Worked like a charm.I started wading through posts about calendar & config and that answer was about #10 on search list. Thanks.
      I do have question related to the url calendar labs though. Are there any other free calendars out there ? What happens to that url when we roll over to 2021? I’d like a calendar that a rolling calendar such that it would should early 2021 holidays

    • Default Calendar Module

      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.
