@banbutcher

so i put back in the utf8 and then added <br> after i echo the filename and now its working fine now, i need to tweek it more to suit my needs but so far so good! thanks for your help @sdetweil im sure ill be asking more silly questions again soon! :)

here is the script that im using to retreve file names…

#!/bin/bash

TARGET=/media/TheVault/UnWatched/
PROCESSED=/media/TheVault/Torrentopia/Torrent-Files/

inotifywait -m -e create -e moved_to -r --format "%f" $TARGET \
        | while read FILENAME
                do
                        echo Detected $FILENAME, Adding to list...
                        echo $FILENAME | cat - $PROCESSED/new-tv-list.txt > temp && mv temp $PROCESSED/new-tv-list.txt
#                        echo $FILENAME `date` >> $PROCESSED/new-tv-list.txt
			cp $PROCESSED/new-tv-list.txt /home/pi/MagicMirror/new-tv-list.txt

                done

if i take out the utf8 part i get an [object array buffer] instead of my file names…

@sdetweil

i have it partly working… i have the contents displaying on my mirror but its all showing up on one line, how can i display it with each line break as in txt file?
deluge.js:

Module.register("deluge",{
	defaults: {
		updateInterval: 30 * 60 * 1000 //reads the file every 30 mins
	},

	start: function(){
		this.sendSocketNotification("START", this.config);
	},

	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
		if(notification === "DATA"){
			this.dataFile = payload;
			this.updateDom();
		}
	},

	getDom: function(){
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		if(this.dataFile){
			wrapper.innerHTML = this.dataFile;
		} else {
			wrapper.innerHTML = "No data";
		}
		return wrapper;
	}
});

and my node helper.js

const NodeHelper = require("node_helper");
const fs= require("fs");

module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
//here comes the part of the nodehelper after the 3 dots as posted above

	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
		if(notification === "START"){
			this.config = payload;
			this.readData();
    			setInterval(() => {
        			this.readData();
    			}, this.config.updateInterval);
		}
	},

	readData: function(){
		//to read a file to do the following
		fs.readFile("new-tv-list.txt", "utf8", (err, data) => {
			if (err) throw err;
			this.sendSocketNotification("DATA", data);
		});
	}
});

thanks

hi,
sorry to be dragging up old posts, but im trying to get my mirror to display the contents of a txt file and i have it partly working… i have the contents displaying on my mirror but its all showing up on one line, how can i display it with each line break as in txt file?

thanks

@sdetweil thanks for the reply, unfortunately all that is a little bit above my head atm, any chance you’d have a link or some info on how to implement the code?

howdy,

ive seen a couple of people running assistantmk2 v2 and i liked the interface better than the v3 and i was wondering if its possible to install the v2 instead of v3. how would i go about downgrading to v2?

thanks

Richie

ah i see… so its taken from the nokia apps! Im looking for the same but with either ios or google fit!

thanks for your reply! :)

Hi folks,

i was just wondering if its possible to have a module that monitors a folder for new files/downloads and prints the last say 5 or 10 results on the mirror?

many thanks,
Richie

hi,

What module did you use for your health data (weight etc)

thanks
Richie

hi, your setup looks great, i was wondering how is it possible to use assistantMk2 V2, ive installed V3 but prefer the layout of V2.

Thanks
Richie
