yup, thats done it. Any idea what would cause it to hang?

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.

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

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?

@raf

if its not working after that, im afraid i dont know, sorry

i dont know anything about ssh either :(

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! :)

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!

Did you see which version on carousel you have?

@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!?

great, have it working now, looks great! :)

thank you
