@sdetweil I’m on Windows 10 Pro, version 22H2. Build 19045.3930.

Huh. Firefox seems to work though. Okay, I can work with this.

@sdetweil said in Photo upload appears to be broken:

@bhepler the third icon from the right, correct,?

Yeah, that’s the one. No go for me on Chrome Version 120.0.6099.217 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I have some photos I’d like to upload into a Show Off Your Mirror post and the upload feature doesn’t appear to be working. Initially the new size limit caught me a couple times. But now after resizing the images it’s just throwing an error every time I try to add an image.

There doesn’t seem to be a way to attach any sort of error message. So I’ll just try and attach one of the images to this post.

Indeed! The existing modular framework is perfect for quick customizable dashboards. A heads-up display for the home. If you could build one over your existing window it would be a fun way to look outside and still get your information.

Now we just have to hope the price is within reach.

Michael, thank you for taking a wild idea and creating this wonderful community around it. I really appreciate all of the work you did to get this project where it is today. It has inspired me to stretch myself in several directions that I probably would not have gone if it weren’t for the potential of the magic mirrors.

We wouldn’t be here without you.

@ebourne I had a branch of the internet-monitor module that I was using to test a fix. Before I merge it into the master branch, I wanted people to try out the fix and give me some feedback. I guess I never got around to deleting it. The master branch had the updates, so it’s not a big deal.

Thanks to @KristjanESPERANTO I have a new fix in place and it has been merged into the master branch. It should be easy to update the module:

• get an SSH connection to your mirror.
• navigate to the internet-monitor folder
• pull the latest updates with git pull
• install the changes with npm install

Restart your magic mirror process and it should work again.

Just a quick note: I don’t really maintain this module. I created a fork to get it running a long time ago after the author abandoned it. I try to help out from time to time, but this is not one of my priorities. Hence, the README file and example configuration are a bit of a mess.

Looks great. I love the transparent calendar effect.

I created a quick module that will map Santa as he travels around the world Christmas Eve to distribute presents. This is a quick & dirty module that uses the data from Google’s Santa Tracker suite of applications.

Santa’s location updates every minute. Grab the code at MMM-SantaTracker

@nschertz No worries. Little errors like that happen to all of us.

@Kelemvor - If you’re looking for a project for a 1st generation Pi, a Pi-Hole to remove web advertisements and tracking links is an easy project.

@jimb said in Modifying the Config File:

IP Config from the OS prompt on the Pi yields -
“Link/loopback 'all zeros…”
“inet 127.0.0.0/8 scope host lo”

This should be the first entry of three in the response when you enter ip addr. The next entry should be your ethernet port, and the final entry should be your wireless LAN. My suggestion is to try this on your pi: ip addr | grep inet

Secondly, when Sam told you to switch on SSH, did you go into the config app and do it? You can get to it from the desktop but the fastest way is to type sudo raspi-config and then navigate to “Interface Options”->“SSH”. Make sure it is enabled.

@1a2a3a - One of the modules that I maintain is MMM-WeatherBackground. It will put a background image on your mirror and change it up according to what your weather app forecasts.

I find that the key feature is the ability to set the transparency of the background image. That way you can adjust how much of the background image is present vs the reflection that you see.

@Syosse - In my experience, the light transmission from film is very different than a one-way mirror glass. The film is a compromise for those on a budget. The film will not let as much light through from the monitor as a purchased piece of mirror glass. In my case, the film lets in about 30% of the monitor’s display and the mirror glass lets 50% through.

The install script worked okay on Armbian 23.8.1 (Bookworm). PM2 install worked great. Screensaver disable didn’t work the first time but after a manual configuration to auto-boot into the user and then a couple of boots it seems to be doing well.

Update! Version 1.1.1 has been released.

V1.1.1

• Added an option to introduce a delay between the popups. During the delay period the map will fly back to the origin lat/lon and wait for the designated period.

@mitm - Looking at the Birdweather PUC page, it looks like it should be possible. The Birdweather website is able to sort the submissions by station, so I should be able to duplicate that and pull submissions for a given source. I’ll investigate after I get this popup panning thing resolved.

@lmhmm - The good news is that BirdNET appears to be back up. The better news is that if you do not include the dataUrl parameter, the default value should just make it work without issue. For example, here is my config that I am currently using for testing:

{
	module: "MMM-BirdNET",
	position: "bottom_left",
	config: {
		popInterval: 15 * 1000,
		popDelay: 2 * 1000,
		markerColor: 'IndianRed',
	}
},

I looked at the config snippet you posted and the immediate thing I noticed is that you do not appear to have a comma after the URL you specified for the dataUrl parameter. If that is the case, then all sorts of weird things could happen.

I suggest that you copy & paste the config.js snippet I included above into your config.js and work from there. The lat & lon parameters you included in your post look good. You should be able to include those without issue. You’re pretty close to having it work the way you want. We should be able to get you up & running with little hassle.

Hmm. It appears that the BirdNET website is down at the present time. There’s not much I can do about that. Which is weird, as it was definitely working yesterday and earlier today.

As soon as it comes up, I’ll troubleshoot the config that @lmhmm posted.

@lmhmm - My apologies for the delay in responding. I’ve been out of the country for the past couple of weeks. I’ll get to your issue this weekend.
