    • Calendar ...in X number of days

      ive been trying with out luck to have my cadenday display the absolute ie. Oct 16, then when its 20 days out it switches to relative, via the urgency option ie event in X days, then when 24 hours out it switches to event in X hours via get relative. ive mucked about in my config from reading the docs but cant get it working, maybe im not understanding or missreading the docs.

    • script to use fswatch to add/delete file to database... point me in right direction

      hi team
      so ive been using a couple of scripts to do:

      1. uses fs watch to check for add/delete of a download folder and then print output to text
      2. my MMM checks thats text file and displays the last 10 entries, add one colour and delete a different

      which worked fine, but now i want to try and use a database of those file names and locations along with their hash info so i can still use fs watch to add but also delete from database if the file is deleted

      i dont want someont to di it for me, id just like to be pointed in the right direction links to similar or a toutorial the database will be run on a mac

      thanks

    • NPM high CPU usage...

      howdy folks, just noticed that my cpu is running higher than normal so i taught restarting my mirror would sort it out but it didnt, even with pm2 magicmirror stopped its still showing that its running high. i did top and it shows npm running up to 25% on cpu

      any idea why this is happening

      tried to upload pic but having problems, should see screen shot when click on like

      restarting my pi seems to solve problem for a while, it reoccurs!

    • RE: snowboy: Device or resourse busy

      and you can tell from that output that it hung?

      I think its when i refresh MM, it doesnt close snowboy properly so when MM refreshes snowboy is open already and hangs?
      EDIT* (I tested the theory and if i refresh my MM then snowboy goes into that error loop.)

      would that make sense?

      heres the result of that:

      pi@MirrorPi:~ $ ps -ef | grep arec
      pi         765 21495  0 16:23 pts/1    00:00:00 grep --color=auto arec
      pi       25903     1  0 13:36 pts/0    00:00:00 arecord -D plughw:1 -q -r 16000 -c 1 -t wav -f S16_LE -
      

      this is with MM shut down.

    • snowboy: Device or resourse busy

      hi team,

      so ive just noticed that after about 12 hours of being on i get a repeating error message of :

      [2020-11-26 15:39:34.519] [LOG]    [SNOWBOY] Retry restarting...
      [2020-11-26 15:39:36.595] [LOG]    [LPCM16] WARN: arecord: main:828: 
      [2020-11-26 15:39:36.596] [LOG]    [LPCM16] WARN: audio open error: Device or resource busy
      

      and it wont go away until i restart my pi, if i only refresh i still get the error.

      i tried searching for an answer but didnt come up with anything, from with much, only found that something else is using it but dont know where to start. would the fact that i updated MMM-Assistant2Display via the MMM-Update-Notification
      telegram app have anything to do with it?

      or could it be if the MM is refreshed then snowboy thinks that it is busy and wont connect to it?

      saw to check this and here is the result of ps -ef | grep aplay :

      pi 23592 21495 0 15:35 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto aplay

      Thanks,

      Richie

    • RE: MMM-Carousel w/ Slide Navigation

      glad to hear you figured it out, i know coming from a very limited knowledge base, trial and error was how i figured it out!

      when you say dont add key bindings do you mean the module MMM-Keybindings or the keyBindings in the carousel config?

    • RE: MMM-HomeKit | Control your MagicMirror with Apple HomeKit

      Just installed homekit and its great… i can now have the mirror switch off when i say goodnight using shortcuts, i also have it set to turn off when im not there and switch on when i get home!

      next step is to get it to switch on my playstation on voice! :)

    • RE: MMM-Carousel w/ Slide Navigation

      just checked about the node helper and that comes up on mine too! :)

      as for version - i mean whos git repo did you clone from, as you would have read if you read the link i gave you >:( that there are at least 2 versions of carousel. go to the module folder and check the readme file and it will be in there some where…

      use the link above and read it! solution should be there!

    • RE: MMM-Carousel w/ Slide Navigation

      @raf the only thing i can think of is to rename the slides without numbers, you dont need them for the keybindings, it sets it automatically:

      "default" = slide0, "slide 2" = slide1 etc…

      try renaming the slides maybe "zero" "one" "two" etc…

      also check whos version of carousel you have as theres 2! :dizzy_face:

      look over this, its how i figured it out!! :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

      i use vnc from a mac so should be ok!?
