@chrisfoerg I think there is some bandwidth/traffic issues from the server then.
I’ve had some 503 errors also, but not that often.

try this in the custom.css

.clock .bright {
font-size: 40px;
color: #f00
}

.clock .dimmed {
font-size: 20px;
color: #0f0
}

Don’t know if it’s correct, don’t have my mirror available right now to test it.

click on your profile in this forum, then settings.
on that page you will find a option that says “Delay image loading”, uncheck that and the pictures should load directly.

@Deniz to my knowledge the “no signal” thing is something that primarily TV-screens do, None of my 5 different types of computer monitors displays any text, they go directly to sleep/standby when there is no input.

To my mirror I bought a 24" Samsung LED monitor for about 99Eur. Goes directly to standby when signal is lost.

That is the monitor doing that, some monitors does that and there is probably nothing you can do about it other than to change monitor, sry.

@jag Had time to change my answer after a google search, sorry. we are on the same page :D

@jag the LXDE still has to be running, the display=:0 is, If I’m not mistaken, if you run it remotely, right?

by changing the dateFormat in config.js

here is a list of the different formats for date :

The standard is : “MMM Do”
You would probably want “DD MMMM”

have you tried just to go in to the magicmirror folder and just type “npm start”? that will give you an indication if it’s the mirror that won’t start or if it’s the start script that doesn’t work.

And, you have to be in the window handler for the magicmirror to run.

@shashank there is one already, mmm-navbar

@YoungHomie the newsfeed module is basically a rss reader, find a rss stream and past it in ad the url and it will be displayed as the news are being displayed

@Anthony_Haddad

Add

body {
  margin-bottom: 60px;
  height: calc(100% - 60px);
}

To your custom.css, that will remove all space to the bottom edge

@monkepinay I’m in the middle of my build, so no results yet, only thing that is an issue, or may be an issue, is that the glass I ordered lets thru to little light, so it might be hard to see the display in daylight

My mirror is letting 3% of the light thru, I’ve later, after reading more seen that 12-20% is more optimal for magicmirror-use.

Probably cheaper to get a ir-frame for your mirror (same technology that the company above uses) and use real two-way mirror glass instead of foil. Then you don’t need extra layers of glass or foil.

Try setting the urgency var to 0

@vicdilou nope, just leave it on

Set a cron job to turn it off at a set time, thats the easy part. however, to turn it on you need an external timer.

So maybe get a regular outlet-timer, set it to turn off 20-30min after the cron job has turned your pi off, then set the timer to go on again when needed.

But, since the pi doesn’t really draw that much electricity, why not just leave it on?
If you think it needs to be rebooted, then just add a cron job that reboots the pi.

Start the GUI first, then try to run the mirror?

Any Linux machine can run the software required for the Magic Mirror 2.

@Thomas

try to remove the dots under types: [“diesel”],

I’m Swedish btw.
