@sdetweil Thanks for the tip. I will do my best to figure out how to do that and try it. Also, care to share how to add a battery backup?

Help again please!! Second time my mirror is doing this.
I had a power outage and the mirror now just stops at the desktop image. I tried a sudo reboot with no luck. This happened before and I ended up getting a new Sd card and reloaded. Started over and it all worked again. Now it happened again. Any ideas what I can check? My mirror worked forever and now it’s really getting on my nerves.

I would like to use a live webcam feed from a tropical island as my background. Is this possible? Seems like it would be fairly easy but still outside of my capabilities…

@sdetweil Got it. That’s a new one for me. Looks like a good time to reload a new card and add some new features i guess.

@bitterfitter I changed the pic format and it seem to load now.


Power went out in my house for a few hours. When it came back on, here is what I get on the mirror. Any ideas where to start? I never had this happen before in the years I have been running this mirror.

My mirror was working fine. Once it finally starts up it runs for about a minute and then goes back to the screen with the road/sky. Then starts again, runs for a minute or so and starts again. Any ideas??
