    • RE: My First Build, 24 Inch In A Custom Frame

      @hartattack Yes! Looks super awesome, I have Raspbian/RetroPie/Kodi on the same Pi3. I’m a beginner so it took me a while to set it up and configure but yes it’s pretty easy. Check out multibootpi.com and just look through the builds until you find one you like. I recommend using one that has a video walkthrough because there is some nuance.

      I’m installing a switch to more easily toggle between the three, but as of now it’s very very simple to switch between them with the help of a keyboard and mouse, or just using the command line.

      I even have a tv mount that swivels so I can rotate the screen landscape to play games, and then rotate it back to portrait for the mirror display, really like how it turned out so far

    • RE: My First Build, 24 Inch In A Custom Frame

      @AdamMoses-GitHub didn’t even think about heatsinks on the tv. That could work, it seems like the heat comes more from the screen itself and not from the board. Since it’s in my bedroom, I’ll probably just write a dinky little script to turn it off from 9pm-8am, should give it some time to cool down and also take care of screen burn, which I’m worried about because I run retropie on the same screen

      @AdamMoses-GitHub do you have any fans/heatsinks? i’m not worried about my pi overheating as much as i’m worried about the tv, it gets hot real fast. I suspect this is normal for tvs, we just don’t know about it usually because there’s a bezel and we rarely touch the backs of our tvs

    • RE: My First Build, 24 Inch In A Custom Frame

      @AdamMoses-GitHub do you leave it on 24/7? My pi is overclocked and cooled with fans/heatsinks but my monitor runs pretty hot. I’m thinking about writing a script to turn the mirror off when I’m asleep/not home, have you had any issue with overheating yet? I see the thermometer warning in the upper right in your first few pics

    • RE: MMM-NBA

      @cowboysdude no problem! I played around with all combos of header/logo and didn’t have any success. I’ll make sure I have nba.png but I can’t imagine why I wouldn’t. I’ll let you know if I figure it out

    • RE: MMM-NBA

      @cowboysdude update: fixed it, didn’t have my own timezone set correctly, sorry for the trouble! Still no logo though but working great otherwise. I’m curious though, how does it treat focus_on teams differently? Longer display times? Displays first?

      Looks really really good man, I’ve wanted an NBA module forever. Thanks again dude!

    • RE: MMM-NBA

      @cowboysdude getting an issue where the logo shows a broken link, and no game data loads. I focused on Lakers/Warriors, since both of those games are over for today is that why I’m not seeing any data? I see NBA SCORES 3/21/2017 and the horizontal line, but no logo or data

    • RE: MMM-NBA

      Looks good man! The only thing I would suggest is to be able to add a list of favorites, so that if my fav teams are Thunder/Pistons then I always see when one of those games is on, and maybe a rotating schedule under that. Not sure yet, but would love a favorites section to be able to tell at a glance if my team is playing today/tonight

    • RE: How hot does your mirror run?

      @wered would you mind sharing that script to turn it off at 70c and back on at 55c? Would solve some problems I’ve been having lately. Thanks!
