Personally, I don’t see why you’d have anything more than
cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start
in your magic mirror startup script. I personally have a 2nd script with the config check in it, so I can see errors and fix them before I manually run the PM2 restart.
Ok - playing with the themes, I found one that’s a compromise. Readable (on white background) and has all the buttons… clearly, some errors in the skins.
Not entirely sure I understand - the copies/instances work, and they normally display independently of each other, just every once in a while, the carousel show multiple copies at once.
That being said, it will occur with any module being handled by the MMM-Carousel module. Most frequent problem is two different modules showing at the same time. (MMM-NFL and the first copy of MMM-MyScoreboard)
I’m having a bit of trouble with MMM-Carousel…
Using it with the following config - MMM-MyScoreboard is my (slightly) modified fork of the main app. It’ll randomly display several of the modules at one time (be it MMM-NFL and a few of the MMM-MyScoreboard modules, or just a bunch of the MMM-MyScoreboard copies).
Any clue what’s going on, and how to fix? (Only relevant sections of config shown)

Vince, Your mod works perfectly - once I undo mine.
Thanks for the head start to see how it’s modified. Will be fun to learn.
FWIW, I seem to have a legit bug - the group “Pac-12” seems to go random on teams in NCAAF. (using my fork of VinP’s fork of the module), I’ve overridden it by putting all the teams in individually for now.
Cool, Thanks, Vince - I’ve merged your updates into my fork, and I’m playing with it now. Thinking about playing around with the other (what I would consider) improvement cases I wanna do, having two or three modules to show scoreboards that are all different does irritate me to no end… :)
For some reason, I get trapped in “chat” sessions. There’s no buttons to close the chat window, and I have to reload the forum to fix it. Is anyone else having this problem, or is it something specific to me?
So, I did end up forking it (Off of VInP’s fork), if for nothing else to try and figure out how to do things.
https://github.com/BKeyport/MMM-MyScoreboard
All I’ve changed so far from VinP’s changes is line 454 - “var anyGames = true;” instead of “false”
This results in the headers showing, which in my config results in no blank screens.
yes, as a matter of fact. Fixes the centering too if you have that problem:
custom.css in css subdirectory:
.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .image {
position: absolute;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
margin-left: 0;
height: 40px; /* set to your image size */
z-index: 1;
background-color: #FFF;
bottom: 0;
left: 0px;
}
I’m getting sick and tired of rude and downright obnoxious developers.
In my case, I submitted a couple of suggestions to a developer to improve his product in my view for my specific case, and asked that they be added as options. I get the effective response of “Screw off, this is the way it works” and both suggestions closed with the same message.
Please, developers - consider your user base - I, for one, don’t know Javascript in the slightest, other than what I’ve learned about syntax from the config file. If you could be nicer to the user base - I for one, would be grateful.
I’m very close to just deleting Magic Mirror and forgetting about this project.
Right, and I’m suggesting an optional change to that, so that I can eliminate the blank screens… I’d love to see a simple one line “NCAAF - No games scheduled” item available if selected by the user.
If I was any good at JS, I’d do it myself, but adulting has kept me away from hobby programming.
hey, @vinp -
I filed this as an issue on the main fork - was wondering if you’d be interested in adding this for me, as I’m just a beginner in javascript and don’t fully understand what’s going on here.
For leagues that are currently “Out of Season” or off for the day, can we get output like “[league name] - No games scheduled” - This would prevent blank screens in my case, where I have MMM-Carousel running to page between sports.
“MLB - No Games Scheduled”
“NBA - No Games Scheduled”
“NCAAF - No Games Scheduled”
etc.
This module is supposed to be weather images, yet, I have seen exactly one image that’s weather related.
Most of the time, it’s keyboards, computer related stuff, people, etc.
Can I restrict the pictures?
I added “left: 0px;” to the custom.css for a couple of modules I was was having issues with formatting. It works.
I can confirm OMX is a major B.
I had to convert over to FFMPEG to get things to work without crashing the entire system to the point of taking it offline, but not crashing MM other than not updating anymore (Clock and such still work, just it couldn’t get anything off the internet)
fwiw, it could have happened as adjustments made to the code for a feature I asked for… :innocent look:
@Cr4z33 Nope, not just you.
Fixed it, actually. added the line “left: 0px;” in my custom css in the “.MMM-NewsFeedTicker .image” section… it’ll force the image to the left.
Looking good, other than the logo now appearing centered on final position - I have deleted all custom css…
