@Killion resolution wise today is 4k probably (4096 × 2160).

For touch I would say an IR Frame since touch foils can have issues with the mirrors coating.

@da4throux excellent! Maybe now I will have the motivation to setup the flic buttons I got two years ago 😁

@johnnyboy I think it should be just .calendar not .Module_calendar

@joeytuck

you are missing a , after showWeekend: true,

I’m no where near a coder so disregard this If I don’t get it, but after some fast reading of your blog post, it sounds like you should be able to use the code from [card:paviro/MMM-syslog]

to take commands from HTTP, the syslog module takes information from a string like this : http://MIRROR_IP:MIRROR_PORT/syslog?type=INFO&message=YOUR_MESSAGE

@Killion short answer no, most touch screens won’t be able to sense anything thruu the glass,

@cowboysdude well, he should be able to send http get to the syslog module and then let the syslog send a notification to the player module.

But, well, it’s a long way around 😀

@johnnyboy to install mpg123 on your raspberry : sudo apt-get install mpg123

@joeytuck there is also another comma missing after the position line

@PointPubMedia

From the Readme :
"Server Only

In some cases, you want to start the application without an actual app window. In this case, execute the following command from the MagicMirror folder: node serveronly. This will start the server, after which you can open the application in your browser of choice."

And as stated, the client would need a browser running fullscreen

that looks like an ordinary mirror, so no. that would not work.

@Benjoe1896

It uses alsamixer command lines in the node helper file, your system probably doesn’t have alsa installed then.
Either install that or check what your linux distribution uses for sound management and change the node helper file accordingly!

@cowboysdude The showing your mirror category should only be for each mirror made, not general sharing threads.
I think it will get confusing and cluttered if there is ANY other threads than project threads in there.

@johnnyboy there is some issues with iframes due to cross domain restrictions. And I believe the biggest issue with iframes and youtube is that you can’t control playback (i.e pause/play, stop etc).

I.e Loading a video with autoplay in an iframe does work, but to stop it you would have to close the iframe. (Somebody else with more knowledge on this should confirm or deny this)

And the google requests in this module seems to use the api from google and not the actual webpage for searching, thus no fuzz with the cross domain restrictions

@MichMich I know it won’t solve it, but this could be SEEN as a heavy load, :P

okey, so I’m guessing you are using a TV and not a monitor (a monitor wouldn’t have these issues, maybe switch it? unless your mirror is over 27" I would probably suggest that first). but anyway, you should be able to make a ir transmitter and mount infront of the ir reciever of the tv.

maybe something like this could work? http://www.raspberry-pi-geek.com/Archive/2015/10/Raspberry-Pi-IR-remote

@amanzimdwini

You can alter the styling of each calendar yes if you are running multiple instances of the calendars. By using the custom.css file.

depending on which order you put them in the config they are configured like this :

#module_7_calendar {
color: red}
#module_8_calendar {
color: blue}
#module_9_calendar {
color: pink}
#module_10_calendar {
color: green}

The number of the modules starts with 0 which in most cases are the alert module in the config. ( #module_0_alert )

@justjim1220 with a 16mhz clockspeed, limited amount of memory… I would say you can’t.

You could probably write something similar if you just want some simple text displayed on a small tft.

@johnnyboy How about a L profile frame (10mm by 10mm?) in stainless steel?
Should be easy enough to weld the edges and then just drop the mirror in and fixate it with som small tabs?

That way no silicone or glue is needed, and If by unfortunate event the mirror is broken, it would be easy peasy just dropping a new one in.

@l8kerjuan sudo apt-get remove unclutter
